accidentally posted this in the wrong forum so i deleted my old post and re-posted here
here's a song ive been working on for almost 3 months. i'm a big fan of the old classics Adam F - Circles and LTJ Bukem - Horizons, so the inspiration for the break came from those 2 songs so i followed in their footsteps by starting with the Do The Do break as the starting point and running with it. aside from that, the song is heavily trance inspired. i like to work in trance elements into dnb, something i started doing about 5 years ago but this is my best attempt.
mastering is not a strong point for me. i did parallel compression on this song plus eq'ing as needed but it still needs a couple db in loudness so i think perhaps a little more compression will need to be done but carefully to make sure i don't lose too much in the way of dynamics. i've spent a ridiculous number of hours on this song so it goes without saying that critiques are very welcome
here's the song:

well the link has the finished product now. i was really hoping to get some tips after spending so long working on it. especially mixdown-related or mastering tips.
i did NY compression and squeezed another 3db out of Pro-L but it was still too quiet, i'm just trying to get it comparatively loud to most other tracks out there. so i said screw it and amplified it another 3db in cool edit so it went past 0db, but 75% of other songs i looked at in cool edit did too and the peaks were further past mine. i've spent hours over the course of weeks reading and reading, then trying new things. i was hoping a TA would lend their ears and say what they thought of whatever aspect came to their mind
