So i read a lot of forums trying to figure out how to make the sound better but i figured id post to get a opinion for mine personally.
Heres a track i recorded and mixed (the beat was a premade one from youtube):

Heres what i did for each track

EQed to take out the low endand raise the top arouns 7500Hz and 600Hz
Desser

2% reverb

Main chorus:
Waves C1 Compressor (Ratio - 3:1 TH - 22Db ATK 2.0ms RLS - 200MS)
EQed to take out the low endand raise the top arouns 7500Hz and 600Hz

Chorus Layer:

10900HZ up - 7.8:1 TH - 52Db ATK 0.50ms RLS - 1650S Gain - 5Db

Master track -
Used Izotope ozone to get it to a good level (Threshold - 8.8Db) without cutting the peaks and put a margin of -0.1db

Sorry if thats too much info but can i get some tips on what i couldve done better and how to improve.
 
Not my kind of music, so can't comment. But get 10 posts over in the thread for that purpose in the newbies section of this forum, then post in the MP3 Clinic section.
