So this is my first contribution and my first attempt at mixing, so I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance.

Now where did that file go??

I've managed to upload the file directly from my PC. Will it work? Hmmmm, not sure.
I have succeeded in uploading to soundcloud, however, so watch this space!

I can't be sure because I'm on headphones, but I think that kick can be 4-5 dbs louder and probably have a stronger lower end.
The synths generally sound OK. But in some spots they get a little on the harsh side. The section from :45 to about 1:05 is what I'm talking about.
Song moves well and keeps up listener interest. Reminds me a bit of the Alan Parsons project instrumental stuff.

Hi, TripleM,
Really appreciate the feedback. Now I've got something to go on, I'll get started on a remix.
BTW, having just looked up "Alan Parsons Project", I see what you mean. Those mixes 'll give me something to aim for, what?
Thanks again for your time.

They had a record called "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" that this reminded me of. Yeah I think those would be good reference mixes for you. Alan Parsons is a decent engineer.

This isn't bad for a first mix. I liked the synth a lot. I agree with TripleM about thickening the kick drum a bit. Right now it's a bit clicky and thicker bass works well for this type of sound.
During the part that TripleM pointed out, I think some of the notes were "bent" a bit far up or down and then didn't really transition back very well. It felt like they went from bent to flat in no time and I think it would sound better if they had more transition time or if they just didn't bend so far. I'm not sure if that's what TripleM meant by "harsh", but those are the thoughts I had when listening.
Overall I thought the composition was good and the track sounded original. It was an entertaining listen.

dynis, thanks very much for for the feedback.
I did use quite a bit of pitchbend on that section, and possibly overdid the modulation.
Also, thanks for the remarks regarding the overall composition, I found them very encouraging.
Cheers!
