Critique Needed!! - Compression - R&B/Pop-Rock w/Rap

[Raquel-Fé]

I haven't been on here in a while and don't know if I'm going to get any responses (I really hope so).

So, I've been working on this track for a week. Using some native instruments and effects. Trilian for the bass, MusicLab's RealGuitar with Hardcore on both the rhythm and lead, EZ Drummer for rolls, Izotope Ozone for mastering.

I've got some compression on the bass and kick and guitars but I can't tell if there's still a conflict/distortion in the verses and chorus. I did change the bass in the chorus to an acoustic instead of the sub that plays during the verses and bridge. But I still think there might be distortion.... I've tried lowering the sub in the mastering phase... doesn't really help unless I cut all below 200.

BTW, there's a long break towards the end, that's where the second rap is supposed to go... I'm obviously not finished.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Raquel
