Mix is really clean, man! I'm pretty impressed. That sidechain is hot. I'd work on sound design more. EQing as well. The lead gets pretty drowned out, and the bassline doesn't always follow the chord progressions.
Thanks June! I'm glad you've come around again to take a peek at my stuff! I'm definitely trying to find my sound design. The lead is not really supposed to be a lead but a topper for the chords. It shouldn't be too loud, but loud enough to go on top of the chords & mix with it. Is the bassline offkey or hard to listen to?
Elements and arrangement are really on point, but I would agree with
@etterath
it could use some better mixing. If it's too laggy, you could try doing it deaf and using just the visuals.
Thanks Apollo, I love your feedback. I've done deaf before, and it hasn't been very successful, since certain sounds could be quieter or louder than others but appear louder or quieter visually. If you could, since I can't really tell from listening, what parts of the song I could go back on to edit? It'd be very helpful. :)
Changed lead in the second half of the drop to lower repetition, raised drum level at

by

decibels, and decreased the amount of sidechain in the "trap" ending. :)
Not quite, haha. I was able to use the first two chords, but the last two I had to change for the sake of my song. As for the melody, I pretty much used the melody completely, but added to it. I try to follow all rules as they add for the basis points of the entry. We'll know when the deadline hits. :)
