Untitled demo (EDM) - Feedback on mixing or sound picking :D

[901D3]

So I have this project and melody sound very cool imo and i would like to have some feedback on this track so i can make it better!
The demo has the intro to drop and the second part of the track was cut so it doesnt get too long. Im still working on that part so

Genre: Progressive House
Tempo: 126 BPM

I'm not an expert in this kind of music. But I'll tell you what I liked and didn't like.

The kick and the handclaps are pretty "clicky". Lot's of attack. I'd try to pick something that's not as aggressive on the attack.

I thought the synth sounds, all around, were nice. I'd keep those.

For the most part the song moves pretty well and keeps up listener interest.

Thank you for your reply!

I tried mix the whole track and modify the sample so it does not get too loud, even though those kick, clap and snare didnt make the mixer to clip

The square lead is the most dominant of the whole track since it IS square waves and a very little bit of saw lead with adagio lead for the support, buzz lead didnt made it good i think

Anyways, Im going to improve my skill and mixing things so the track could be better ?

About the same here, though I liked the "clicky-ness" of the claps; it's noticeable but "cheeky" in the right sort of way maybe. Also FWIW just listening on PC speakers in the office rn.

Kick needs a bit more bass to it, or I'd try a different sample. It's not "horrid" just strikes me as needing a little more, and definitely not sounding "wrong" as such. See how boosting 60-70hz does? Idk and tbh shouldn't really make the call given my impressions at my work desk!

Got the makings of something Avicii-esque I thought and it's definitely a great fit for the genre! I'm really old though so maybe don't take my word for that stuff!

I used Alesso REFUNE KICK Part 1 for that track so it doesnt have much bass on it, just the little high at the start of the kick.

And recently i found a good kick named "MasterKick" that i have hunted for month, Avicii did used it in Dancing In My Head making video and it have a very nice bass on it. Switch to that kick would be awesome!

Hey @901D3, I like the track, all the Avicii vibes. Where did you find the MasterKick if I may ask? Did you happen to also find the Awesome Kicks Sample pack? I would love to get copies of whatever you're willing to share. As for feedback on your track, I actually think the arrangement and clarity/separation is really good (very clean), but it sounds like it's missing, maybe, some additional layering? or, maybe, bringing up the volume on the synths?

Musically I find this very comptetent. Love those build & drops, transitions and side chaining. As mentioned a softer kick and hand claps would be more ear candy.
