    This is an interesting sound. I think you're very close to your goal a getting a smooth pop-rock sound, but just off a hair. The reverb is lush, but a little too much, imo. Maybe back off of it a touch and bring the vocals forward in the mix for a more intimate sound. Most pop songs highlight the vocals rather than bury them. The drums are there, but could use a bit more punch. Again, check the reverb level on them. Last, the song begins abruptly and ends abruptly, as well as being rather short. I understand if this is just a demo. Joy to you.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    what i hear is a heavy compressor with a long release time. it distracts me from the rest of the music.. kill that compressor then repost and ill listen again. its not bad..it has potential, just that constant ducking needs to go.

    thanx you very much for the constructive critics.
    espacially to LYNN.
    Perfect explained the problems of the track.
    I will correct it  as soon as i can but at the moment i am a bit too lazy.
    because i made several tracks in a couple of weeks.
    this one is going to be a full length track,
    and i'll post it here when it's finished. 

    Best Regards

    Thanx

    No.

    But I suspect it's the mix not the mastering.

    Drums are lost. Something is pumping WAAAAAAYYYYYYY too much.

    Bass is too boomy.


    Try playing a reference mix in you setup and work on matching that.

    There's way-too much compression on this as there's extreme pumping that causes heavy listening fatigue to my ears.

    The mix does need some work as already mentioned.

    Sounds like you have the potential to make a good track of this style if you can sort those issues out.
