First off, gotta put up my flameshield, I know pop and dubstep aren't looked at too kindly around here, I'll be sure to only post com truise remixes after this. :P
With this track I was really trying to mimic alot of the Nero stuff I'd been hearing, not necessarily sound design wise, but..."feel" wise I guess? Their mixes have a certain closure and density (not much sonic space goes unoccupied). So yeah.
Just looking for general tips on how to improve, I know the drums get buried a bit, any tips on how to bring them up. Its kind of hard trying to juggle such a dominant bass and a kick drum. Also, how am I doing on the loudness? I listened to a few tracks on soundcloud and they were incredibly loud, couldn't imagine even turning up my master bus like that.
Anyway, dig in.

Hey what exactly is going on in your master bus? is it stitting at 0? Personally I don't always agree with this, but I know people often use maximizes to increase volume.
Also I think your bass and Kick are clashing a bit. Have you tryed equing out some of the frequences in of your bass, around 100htz to allow the kick to come thruogh? Or even sidechaining the bass to allow the kick to come though?

Master is sitting at -7 volume wise and theres a EQ boost from 2.5k to about 9.7k that gradually increases from 1.8-4.2db. Plus some reverb, thats all though.
The Kick and Bass are definitely fighting, the kicks peaking at about 80 and calming down toward 100, the bass is is kicking from like 30-120hz. Should I completely EQ them out of each other or is alittle crossover okay?
