What am I missing?

Check out this track. Link

I'm told that this could be good if it was mixed properly.

Do you guys know what I might be doing wrong? I don't have monitors right now so I'm pretty much just playing it on 3 sets of speakers and trying to get it to sound good on all of them.

What I did was set the kick at -1db, and everything else lower. The spectrum analyzer looks good. I have Waves L2 on the output channel with out ceiling -0.2, threshold -6.

What does it sound like to you? muddy? grating?

I actually was planning on sending this to some labels, but that would be pointless unless I get this mixed properly.

Thx

first off it's too loud 1:50 hello and welcome to squashville!
basically the tune is just WAY too loud the limiting is hurting your mix, also i can't really tell how well mixed your tune is with that amount of limiting

it is also possible that you have it mixed too loud in your sequencer

Christ...

Slow it down... Yeah bloody loud shat here. Drop a liitle bass in the kick for starters... Compress the master and synths, also if you loose sight of percussion compress that, the perc sounds ok...

I think u got a bass problem...

i like everything except the lead, sooo much energy
niiiiiiiice!
maybe try another instrument for the lead (of course this is personal taste, and one of a n00b, so you should ignore me)
