This is neat! I love the sense of speed. I do feel the mix lacks a little bit in terms of bass. Think if you'd thicken that up a little it would really become a driving track, if you'll pardon the pun. But the composition is ace! I'd race to this.

Ah yeah I really have everything to learn in mixing (and unfortunately almost didn't do anything on this track because I just didn't had enough time to test around... shame... :DD). Do you have any tips on how you'd mix it ?

This is really Japanese sounding. I like the modulations at the end, and the repeating fast synth line. Good energy throughout, too.

I agree that low end could use some boost - maybe just a sub for bass would be enough?

but this doesn't change the fact that this is a killer song, you did capture the feeling very well!

Sure! Let me preface it with that mixing is a very personal thing. As in, there is no hard or fast rules. You can have a technically perfect mix that is totally wrong for the song. And a mix that's objectively terrible, but just works for the tune in question. And how a mix feels can change from day to day.

The way I hear your mix is that it's currently rather flat. And I would try to get to pump a little more. Like it's bursting at the seams with energy. Because your composition is big and strong, so the sounds need to support that. Me being me with my preference, I'd go for both distortion and compression. And dial that in to taste. It's not something to be subtle with. At the same time, it's probably easy to go too far this tune. So you need to do that by feel. I'd also bring up the bass and kick drum. So you get some momentum from those. Maybe tuck in the crashes a bit and bring up the hihats a tad. The rest is difficult to say as each decision influences the next. But I'd also automate some volume changes to some sections to have them hit even harder.

Anyway, I hope that is useful to you. And if you like, I'd be happy to do a mixing pass on it. To let you hear what I'm on about. Along with some notes on what I did to get there. That might be more informative than some text. No hard feelings if you don't want me touching your track. Just thought I'd put it out there because your tune is awesome!

Thank you so much ♥ Really happy you liked it !!

Yeah I'll try stuff around. Maybe a groovy bass to add as someone recommanded to me ? I don't really know music is complicated haha ! And thank you so much ♥ !

Yeah I've learned that mixing has it's subjectivity, problem is since I know almost nothing, I can't have any vision which definitely is a problem since the mixing part can make a mid track bloom into something wonderful as I understood haha !

I absolutely get the global idea you're giving problem is I have absolutely no idea how to make any of that happen :DD ! I suppose I'll have to poke things around and do trial and error (that's what I did today) but gosh it's hard to not feel like you're ruining everything when you don't know what you're doing !

I'd be very grateful if you'd do that. Don't feel any obligation to do it, but I'm definitely eager to learn anything and would be very happy if you showed me the ropes you're using :DD
