That is enormous, you've made incredible work, nothin to say except that I do recognize Deadmau5's style here but we do not care:)

It's good! I agree that the thump/ punch in the kick and snare was for sure right where it needed to be. I also like the automation with the frequency and attack on the delay during the build, I thought it added a lot of character and depth to the hook. Good job!

Welcome back! I'll get right to the critiquing :)

I'd suggest using some FX samples other than using delayed rides and crashes in the intro, it sounds a little bit strange to me.

The synth that filters in around 0.49 is really wide and high pitched, I'd bring it in a bit width-wise and turn the volume down.

The distorted sound at the breakout seems too distorted to me, it feels very try and like it's competing for space with the other (really cool) synth part.

I think you need an element that sits in the lower mid frequencies rather than so many in the top - you have to be so careful to assign different elements their own space in the mix or things get really muddy really fast!

The bass sounds seem very quiet in the drop.

All nicely structured, and the melodies are great, just gotta be careful not to layer too many things and be a bit more sparing with distortion!

Thanks every one,

Dave I hear what you are sayin about the crashes in the intro it was kinda lazy on my part. The bass is a patch I use for a lot of my beats, I could remove some of the distortion for this particular song. I feel like the main synth is in the middle but I may have eq'd it outa there.

Thanks for the tips, I'm huge fan and I'm digging the new system as well!

I really like everything about this track
Im a huge Deadmau5 fan. and i think you've nailed a great sound, with a great ending mix. Obviously there are bits that could be worked on and tweaked, but of course there are, else you would be selling hit after hit right?
I love the tune, where you have the one bar with one higher night gives it a nice feel :)

that bass needs to be a bit louder and a lot heavier imo, try to mono it and only bring out some points at stereo

It's not that deadmau5y, haha. He didn't invent house, you know. I liked where it was going when the arp came in, but i would have made that arp really stereo by copying it, panning one left and one right, with one of them being delayed by about 10 ms with 0 feedback one fully wet. THere are some interesting sounds in that drop. Some of the instruments could benefit from some more sidechaining. Also, i think this track would work great with a bit of overal 16th swing.

Sounds a tad empty in parts, but not too bad
I like the mouseyness to it; Relaxing.

All in All, good work!
