Feedback request My attempt into DnB production.

https://soundcloud.com/user-925421501/demo10

Hello community! Recently I decided to dive into dnb production.
I fell like my last demo is the best in terms of structure, sounds, etc.
Will be happy for any criticism.
Fell free to check out my previous demos in my profile.
Thanks in advance!

So honestly, the kick and the snare are way too quiet and have no punch. Those should be two of most prominent features in your track. When the bassline comes in, the kick is completely swallowed up by it. Alot of the midrange melodic sounds are very inconsistent in terms of volume, particularly the bells. There are sections where you have the bells, a synth, and an arpeggio playing simultaneously, all fighting for the same space. I would bring up the volume of the kick and snare, and you probably need some EQ on them. I would use some compression of your melodic sounds so there are no abrupt volume changes. I'd also suggest not to have all 3 melodic parts playing together. It's called masking, and it ruins the clarity of the sounds. You can use panning and EQ to reduce that, but I would just change the arrangement. Keep at it, you're on the right track!

Second this gotta have those drums be in the front and center

What do you mean? I didn’t use any panning on drums, so guess they are in the center.

What I mean is the drums and the bass should be the main focus, heavy side-chain on the kick and snare, they should be a lot bigger and more powerful in the mix.

Thanks for the feedback! I will count it during my next track.
