Does someone here know anything about mastering? I'd really love some help. https://soundcloud.com/dakermusic/mastering-tips-please

I think it is mastered pretty well. Maybe the amount of sub-bas (<60hz) is a bit insufficient plus some sounds can be EQ-d better. That synth in the beginning have too much middle frequencies (300-500Hz or so) and that dirty wobble/reese sound may have a bit too much of 3-5kHz, that's how I hear it anyway.
Also, the kick drum. It lacks the bottom I think, the 'click' is perfect but it isn't as powerful as it should sound in such mix. Maybe a little increase on 80-100Hz could help.

Thanks man, do you notice how the kick kinda gets quiet in the second drop? Any idea why that happens? The sidechaining shouldn't be changing overtime and the volume of the bass sound isn't being automated or anything.

Sometimes it can be caused by compressor, limiter or maximizer but if it is exactly the same set of sounds in both drops then I don't know how it could happen. Maybe that's just the feeling you get because the second drop is, well, noisier than the first one, so it could be more noticeable when the bass messes with kickdrum frequencies.

Yeah that's probably the reason. Thanks :)
