Tell me what you think, good and bad feedbacks I really appreciate if you give me some advice and tips because I haven't finished a complete track yet, even that I have produced a while now https://soundcloud.com/legendofdeat...e-shorter-break Forgot to raise the master volume when I exported it... THanks

wrong forum. but here's my thoughts:
your biggest flaw is the mixdown. also your sounds are very generic and thin. do you have a compressor and limiter on your master?
experiment with layering and try using something other than nexus.
i would start with a fatter kick drum. sample one from another track.
musically there's no hook in the track for me, it's very forgettable.

still not a bad effort, keep making music

But do you actually have anything on the master when the track isn't done? I mean, dont you put compressors, limiters... after its ready? (after you have eq all elements and so on)

Sounds good to me, I like it.

you will hear differing opinions on this but i personally recommend mixing into a compressor & limiter, or at the very least throwing them on your mix before you post it online

it does vary based on who you ask, but mixing into a compressor and limiter is a horrible mixing decision in my opinion. this is actually really, really shitty advice to give. at least you're trying to be helpful though.

as far as putting them on a mix before you throw it online, that's usually a decent idea if you plan on showing it to people other than producers and DJs who don't understand the concept of a volume knob. anyone who is judging your track for mixing, etc, will know that they need to turn it up on their speakers to properly hear it.

just disregard this guy's advice. other's will certainly back me up on this, as well.

But again, what is it for?

you want us to listen your sound with our monitoring system?
notice that i am using yamaha speakers/beyer headphones, what about you? can you send your monitoring reference?

what is it for? mastering internet, nightclub, Concert event, CD?

for me, your sound as good as soundcloud
now, this is not the best, and you know it.

this is not because of your compressor, but the misuse of it.
(and please, for the guy who wasn't able to use a compressor; It is a good start to learn our knowledge, if any

single compressor can solve your mastering problems, but may not provide as well as a Multi-band processors and Maximizer.

But before that, what is it for?

Yes I want you to listen with your monitors and tell how it sounds, how the mix is and if you like the arragement and what you think about the whole track.
I am using M-Audio Av 40 and Akg k240 Studio (Headphones).

I haven't made the track for a specific use, I don't think it's a club track, I think it's for just normal listening purpose (CD). Mastering internet?
