I give up on this track now. This is the best i can do with my semi-DIY mastering and stuff.

Cheers dude. I just worry it changed the 'feel' of some of the basses? If that makes any sense?

May 16, 14

MUCH better, my friend. :)

May 15, 14

Awesome! The break? Is that where the drop is?:') I'll be bringing up the bass in a few once ive gone out for this J ;)

May 15, 14

Can't really say at the mo cos I'm still on my really shitty buds but that break at is class! I think it would be better if you brought up the bass on that bit, make it really boooooooming! But like I said crap headphones so it could be fine for all I know ;)

May 15, 14

See thats the thing, it sounds pretty bassy from my end, so its hard to tell what sounds right and wrong haha :')

May 15, 14

However the sound right now sounds tinny on my cans bring the bass!

May 15, 14

I wouldn't worry too much about it, i mean its a good track and its def possible to over-produce

May 15, 14

I had a look at the track again last night. As well as being a bitch to actually work with, i realized the EQ is SO specific that if i change one thing i'll have to change everything else. We all know thats a fucking pain too. I'll just have to do it very slowly :)

May 15, 14

i'd say you dont need more high or low frequencies, but you lack mid frequencies!

May 14, 14

Woah, fantastically detailed images, thanks dude:)! No you're definitely right, i know just enough about mixing to scrape by but as you say, a more balanced and solid mixdown needs equal(ish) parts of everything. Everyone knows, a good sub makes or breaks a track;) Ill get right on it dude. Just fucking with a sample or two which might turn into a track.

May 14, 14

Sorry for the disturbance :)

May 14, 14

In the end it's all about taste, but personally i think, that if you want a good balanced mixdown you should make a good solid bass with enough headroom to add a selection/variety of higher frequency sounds (the higher frequency sounds shouldn't make up the majority of the sound spectrum). I don't know if these pictures help: http://i.imgur.com/H0L1Fip.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/gEaijY6.png . And by the way, I probably don't know what im talking about, but so far this is what i've been going for.

Oohh okay yeah I do get you. It doesn't help my actual subwoofer is overly large. It's hard to find a reference level to set it at when I'm producing. I'll bring down some of the highs, eq some middle/low highs in and bring up the sub?

May 14, 14

It seems like you're giving yourself too much headroom after adding the bass/sub. Eventhough you've got a 'hefty sub' in there the other high frequency sounds (synth, percs, hi hats ect) seem rather overpowering and overwhelming which in effect makes it sound like there's not enough bass/sub in there. I don't know if this makes sense ?

May 14, 14

Thankyou guys:)! This track does have a pretty hefty sub in it already. I can try and bring it up more though:) And i kinda get what you mean Zone. Which synths do you mean in specific. In all honesty this track doesnt have that many :')

May 14, 14

I really like the drop, and the synths you've got in there, sounds pretty wicked. I just feel like there's too much high passing going on too many of the synths so when you've finally got a nice full sounding synth/bass enetering into the mix half way through the track it kinda makes me long for more and the rest seems kinda bland.

May 13, 14

dat sax! great synths, crisp drums. DAMN that fuckin drop is sexy. super intense stuff. mixing is stellar too! the "wut" sample is kinda annoying, but it fits well. my god those hats around 3.00 are heavenly programmed.

May 13, 14

awesome work !!! I just agree with @puppiez1006 , this need more bass & sub-bass !
