its really fire, the only thing is that the vocal chop gets boring after a bit for me so maybe a few more chops? i can hear you did some of that but it feels a little repetitive so try a few more every so often, it also helps keep the track moving

#

like it goes through a lot of the track
just a little bit of variation would help

i agree to him but this is a banger remix

#

i love it so much

There's a perc or something panned completely to the right at the drop. I would completely get rid of that, it sounds weird

#

I miss something right before the first drop. Something that leads into the drop

#

The vocal is too wet during the breaks (or lower the highs of the reverb) and the track goes very downhill after the first drop in my opinion. The reverse super wet kicks before the second drop doesn't fit. The counter melody in the second drop at 3:37 is very cool tho!

#

At 2:25 I would stick to the same vocal loop, the aaa sounds weird

#

Your reese bass could be a bit louder at break 2

#

The second buildup also needs a lot of work. You have a ride riser that suddenly stops? Then the vocal loop goes twice as fast. It sounds a bit amateur, but don't take that too mean cause I've also been there haha. I know you can do way better on that second buildup, because there's also super cool things in this track

Also, your high end is very wide. I've learned from a lot of big engineers to make your high end above 8/10k or something like that more mono to tighten it up

#

And everything in your low end is very stereo, why? This is what it shows when I put a brickwall on 60 Hz. A lot of people make everything below 200 Hz mono. There's an argument for that, I don't do that. But everything at my subfrequencies is always mono on my tracks.

#

Overall it's a good track though! Goes a bit downhill after the first drop, the acid sound at the end of the first drop is very random. I think a brass on your drop could also be a very good thing to add

#

Your track is also not super compatible in mono. Everything below 0 is good! So it's decent, but if you compare it to a professional track, it will always look something like the second picture

Hope this helps 😄 @wind dust
