You don't get a LOUD track by pushing your mix up into the red. You get a loud track by making a balanced mix first, then getting good mastering, where it preserves the transients and dynamics, and finally... playing your music on a big PA where the speakers can actually reproduce bass.
You'll have to think outside the box to make this happen. Visit "Make Space For Bass" to find out how.

Really cool video, so you should make the mix balanced and then boost it after exporting it? also that song sounds amazing, whats it called?

yes, make a balanced stereo mix first and export it with lots of headroom at the master channel. Then do a separate mastering session to make it louder. Glad you like the music! That track is an unreleased original beat I made for teaching
