just like this song

Feeeeedback because you want one XD, apologies for my broken english : I like it, it's powerful, but i would maybe add more percs to the drums because the kicks and snare sounds a bit alone, globally a more varied rythm should be great Maybe a sidechain effect for the bass could be good, it should be louder exept when the kick hit, but i think that's my personnal opinion :) However, i guess it's not finished so maybe you were going to do that anyway

Thanks for the feedback btw!

Sidechain effect is actually the volume automation

And you have much more experience than me so maybe this feedback is not really intersting for you lol

Lowered the velocity on the bass notes of the chord stab. Cleaned up the reverb+delay send so there's more room in the mix. Also gave the percussion more saturation. The mix should sound less crowded now.

how did i never fav haha

it's it's it's beauuutiiful :D

The kickdrum still sounds really loud but that's okay because nothing else is making the mix distorted

may i put vocals on this? (remix?)

i would have never thought to use the crusher that way... imma have to check it out! thx! :)

however, you've gotta ofc mix your stuff. but i just use it as a tool to make the sounds louder, if they're lower volume

basically I turn the bitrate to 24 and that compresses the audio, and makes it a clean mastering tool. the limiter doesn't show the red icon because it fixes that

I use the Crusher as a compressor

after takin a look at the snapshot i'm curious, what in the world is a crusher doing on the master???

Jul 5, 22

challenge with sample based perc cause they're all recorded on different mics in different acoustically responsive environments. all that to say, it def needs some mixing stuff but i love the core concept is fabulous! can't wait to see how it turns out :D

i'm hearing a little to much distortion on the high chord stabs and the clap could be thickened up a little with a chorus and some saturation and the kick could use some layering. the reverb send sounds a little muddy so i might clean it up sith a little eqing. the bass plucks are perfectly mixed and i love the use of stereo delay on the litle mid plucks they are justso tasty!! i think the drums as a whole could use some bus processing to bring them together. that's something that is always a ch

What are your thoughts though on this song?
