Hey , it's really good I think. Nice tune (even for instrumental) well played and the sound suits the feel. I am not sure what you can do to make it better. It seems well balanced. The only problem is using soundcloud for mix feedback. It has very high compression artifcats (especially on the cymbals) so it makes it very hard to make constructive criticism. I would upload a flac or at least v0 or 320 mp3 on Dropbox or Copy.com servers.
thanks man! I have no clue either. I'll use dropbox next time, tho the mp3 here doesn't sound too much better. I like to say that, a good mix should sound good everywhere. This is far from that, hahah!
Glad you like it, dudes!
The bass chain is Trilian, Steinberg Warp for distortion - great plugin- , eq to cut some boomy parts at 300hz~ and a deep narrow cut at 120~hz for the kick, some compression, and I think that's it.
