i would really love some opinions on this, please no "nice track" since i'm really looking for the nitpicking things that will help me improve, Constructive criticism would be awesome.
Thanks for a listen

I'm totally unfamiliar with both the original song and this genre (at least the "step" part ), but I'll do my best.

That vocal glitching is really awesome and fits in with the rest of the instruments pretty well.

The kick could shine a lot more in the high end, and the snare needs to come out a LOT. I know in DnB the snare is generally the strongest part of the mix, but here it seems to be buried under the synths - mostly the bass, unless my ears deceive me. That's actually my main complaint here: give the kick and snare more presence, and I have a feeling the song will sound much better.

There's also just a general muddiness throughout the whole song. I can't pinpoint quite where in the frequency spectrum it is, or which instruments are contributing to it. Sorry about being vague, hopefully someone else can help you there.

The drop is somewhere I can actually be specific! The higher synths come in crystal clear (somewhat overbearingly so), but everything in the low-lowmid is pretty muddy.

In the outro, the vocal delay could be longer, or it could generally be fuller (especially the pad, it's very weak). When the vocals stop at 3:25 it feels very sudden. It also feels like a bit of an unresolved ending, maybe a little crash or something?

To sum it up: composition is really freakin' cool with a few exceptions. Mixing, especially in the drums, needs work.

sorry for never properly getting back to you on this :S thanks for the input! i really apreciate it, i can see what you mean about the overall muddyness, and even after messing with a bunch of instruments, i still can seem to completely clear it, i decided that i would take this lesson with me to future songs, and it seems to be helping with what ive been making recently, so thanks!

It's nice but it could use a little less reverb on the vocals.
