i think the main problem is that your music is in a minor, sounds like your main chord is a/c/e minor triad
your bass (which isnt really a bass, more like a low string) is suggestive of E minor. Its moving from through the root, third, fourth and seventh of the scale but always moves back to the root of E (which is the 5th of A minor, or the top of your chord)
This gives the kind of clashing/dissonant feel. If anything its usually better to have the bass instrument play the root of your chord (not always OBVS)
If you want to keep the sound just write a new part for it based around the scale of A (and go low A not high). that would prob work v nicely but then your kick will need to provide all the low end energy to the mix (unless you add a sub too)
then you need to sort out the mix as suggested there is a lot going on in the low mids IMO but this is mostly just to do with pitch

Thanks, Chris! Yes, main chord is a/c/e, and "bass" main is e. Trained ears I'll try to see how it works with bass on "A" scale.
Even though i like it the way it is now .
It seems that i've accidentally put a reverb filter on master channel, and the default limiter on fl master channel is pretty cranked up on "gain" function, that's why everything sounds so wide.

Ugh! Nothing on the Master!

I have no idea what this is or even what genre to put it in.
Very raw wip atm with some placeholders still in.

The beginning is very nice, floaty pad and arp... tbh i would get rid of piano melody and try something else instead...

Ah, the piano. Yea, I have contemplated that. Thing is, as I mentioned the placeholders, that is one of them. The track was actually conceived on that piano chord progression. I am toying with the thought of another arp yet I already am running 3 and don't want to cloud those tones.
Going to have to play with that and see...Thanks for the insight Gordan!

Vary up those drums and you've got yourself a progressive breaks track. I would also suggest trying out some different samples, as those drum hits sound strangely lo-fi.

Hey, Thanks Mystery. I honestly had never heard of that genre before.
Took a listen to some mixes out there and to my surprise, it IS alot of the kind of stuff I do. I was actually kind of blown away by this revelation. =O) Thanks for the enlightenment!

had to go quite far back to find one that hasn't been removed!!
I like this it reminds me of sasha airdrawndagger a little in style, really cool! the sounds are really nice
if i have to make some constructive criticism (which i always try to do as i think its the most useful) I'd say the overall mix is letting it down. I'd say it could do with being louder and a bit more punchy, the kick and snare could cut through the mix better. i think you could do with highpassing basically everything except the kick and bass as it all seems a bit crowded in the low mids and lows. IMO if you worked on you rmixing youd have an amazing tune there. Im just re reading this book http://www.soundonsound.com/reviews...ts-small-studio its IMO the best book of its kind ive read
Commenting on the fly - clean with good sound separation, dynamic and nicely control levels, interesting sounds selection with sweet sublime melodic theme - drums are doing justice for this type of genre but I would add occasionally some complex pattern to it.
Overall had good listening experience man, nice work.
