Hey there

I bought the flat pack synth a couple of days ago and now i finished a new track.
i would like you to give me an honest feedback to improve this sound

Especially clean mastering means a problem to me. maybe you've got some nice tips?

Here's the link to my new project:

Hope you enjoy listening!

Diggin the track. It's a nice groove to get me through the 9-5 work that pays for my music making!

I'm still cutting my teeth with a lot of this stuff, but some of these techniques have worked for me. You may be able to bring the bass up in the mix just a bit or do some EQ or sidechain compression to make it punch through a little more. Maybe make sure any compressor on the bass is set to allow the plucky attack to punch through (unless you are trying to dampen its attack) and either roll off some of the low frequencies in the synth pad or duck them (just the low frequencies) with a sidechain compressor fed the bass and kick signal. I think that would create more space in the mix for each instrument.
