Hey man, I was listening to some of your stuff, and I think your style would work on the album that im making. Its all synthy ambient space music, with kind of a vintage 1969 feel. Ya down?

Yeah I understand the frustration of trying to sound good. I still struggle with it haha

yeah that make's total sense to me. I would still be using automations but for purpose

It depends, only if it's for a certain feel. I suggest compressing if you're automating EQs so that it doesn't change the volume too much.

It's a lot of mixing up doing every step a couple or a few times.

What I do with sidechain compression is make the drums and the rest of the track in separate channels in a minimixer. After that step, I put a compressor on the master track and split the kick and snare so that it's still in the separate track and the other part is in the sidechain for the master track. Then I'd start messing around with the ratio and threshold.

What I normally do at the start of a track is make synths with effects and I EQ them to make it sound good, later on I EQ everything again to sound good together. The best way to EQ is to make things have as many cuts possible without losing good tone and boosting where it needs it only.

Yeah. What would you like to know?

mixing is just something you aquire throughout production by ear, and for making drums kick more I would say EQing and boosting the volume a bit

I recomend you Wikipedia ;-). semitone is a basic interval (eg. from C to C#, E to F, G# to A and so on). See on Youtube: Witold Lutoslawski - Funeral music, he composed this piece only with one and six semitones intervals (easy to hear in main theme). Btw. Endor&Fina here, from side account ;-)

Great work! The next level is using unusual intervals like only (!) one and six semitons (in melody and harmony) or using twelve-tone row. Keep going :-)
