Hey there this is my first post on this forum so what's up to all you artists on here! So anyways back to my post, this is one of my first tunes it's for the indaba Meiko remix comp but my question is how I can get the mix to be fuller and not so narrow, so specific pointers would be greatly appreciated. Also any general critique would be greatly appreciated so tell me how you feel about the track and what I should improve on. Thanks for reading and listening guys, can't wait to become part of this awesome community!

Also I realize this isn't 'Dubstep' however I incorporated a lot of dubstep elements into the song. To be honest though the song is more like a Knife Party track.

hmm i really like the start.. that sliding bass. it's a very nice touch. i think the vocals are a tad bit low compared to the track as a whole. also, the bass kind of muffles down the kick, making it not sound as strong as it could be. you could always turn down the bass a bit (seems a bit loud.) hmm as for making it bigger, you could use panning, some reverb, chorus... there are a lot of things you can do. I would recommend focusing on making each instrument sound big instead of the track as a whole. like you could put more chorus and reverb on the vocals, if you used NI's Massive you could use the dimensional expander or chorus features built in and etc. plenty of things you could do
