As far as mixing/polishing etc... I cant really say to much on that one as that would be the 'blind leading the blind' as Im somewhat unsure in the very same area myself. Although Ive got cubase I havnt actually used yet as Im currently trying to get to grips with reason! Getting it just right is a minefield I know. To my ear it all sounds fine.
K, Moujik, Rags, Maarten, Musineer etc... are the guys for that, they're pretty helpful. Im sure one of them will offer some advice as & when they see your post.

Also the mix is nice and balanced (as far as I can tell). It's also not squashed to -8 dB RMS, and that is good

Anyway, you've got loads going on there but it doesn't sound muddy or confused, which is half the battle with mixing

Hey thanks guys. I seem to spend most of my time scratching my head with compressor settings and hi/lo pass filters never quite knowing if i'm making things sound better or worse.
haha, the only thing i think i'd change is the filtered drums arriving before the very thin synth line, i'd leave the drums until the drop. The drone at the drop out is way too low, the drum loop is a bit over compressed or rather that would work but it's lacking any thump in the kick area is all... it still works, but i personaly would want it a bit more thumping
perhaps your compensating the mix for a bassy mixing room which boosts the bass end? all the mid-top levels are great in terms of balance and non-harshness, just bash up some of the bottom on the kit and please get that drone up cos it's going to sound great

Thanks for the tips everyone

What generally works for me is once the tune is done, export it all to audio (track by track), create a new song, import the audio and mix from there. It might sound a bit daft, but you get a new perspective on the mix.
Anyway... like the tune!

I do tend to mix everything down to audio but not into a new track. Will give it a go.
Thanks for the input

mne's right to use pretty, at the start anyway. I Like that bag of grain/bloke going pchsssh for a snare, which comes in about right - left/right. Skuttlin' swept toms too!
The key change at about 1.20 nearly lost me, but then by 2min I was getting into it (maybe a bit too hi-eq for me on the stabby riff). I agrree with K about the kick. Very compressed but not much oompf (which the mid-range synth riff does have).
That wasp in the right ear at 4.40
Great end - could make a track of that itself.
Not muddy at all, perhaps turn up the durdg synth to fill it out, don't compress the kick so, and back-off the hi range. It's good.
What's next?
