    What blackwax said.

    The bassline is hammering the compressor you have on the entire track. Personally I would remove the compressor and get it sounding more balanced without it.

    In the past I used rebirth to make the acid riff, export as wav, and import into the DAW. It can then be overlayed with other synths playing the same riff to get a super nice texture but still...

    You should just make sure that the track level doesnt peak above -3b, or -4db (usually the mastering engineer will tell you the maximum level they expect, and they usually require a 24bit version as...

    As mentioned by nightshade, its worth trying a compressor and / or a limiter on the master bus at some point just to get a feel for how the track will sound when it's squashed a bit.

    Generally,...

    The sub element is probably a basic wave, and the texture comes from anther sound layered over the top.

    Its also not uncommon to use up to 3 different sounds to construct a bassline sound, and...

    It needs mastering, and I would buy that in a flash. Really nice track.

    Personally I think its too long, and should be cut to roughly 6 minutes. The middle section including the break should be...

    Yes but they are all stolen and many are of poor quality. Personally, Id rather use sample packs where there are no potential sample clearance issues.
