WIPs / Re: Future/Neuro Track feedback
« on: January 06, 2016, 03:11:12 am »
youre riding the sidechain a little hard, its release is too long and i think youre sidechaning the whole kick not just the click of it. I'd recommend creating a ghost track for your sidechain so you can manually modify the shape without having to deal with changing the kick itself

composition is nice but your mixing is lacking, some of this is due to the fact that some of your sounds are creating dissonanace with other sounds because they are creating chords that dont work well sonically, another thing i noticed is that when the kick comes in at around 2:34ish the sidechain is too heavy/long, id suggest using a ghost track and sidechaining everything to that because it allows you to manually create the sidechain curve.

I'm still hearing some artifacts but overall this is nicer, from here i would suggest trying out different things like multiband dynamics in order to balance the high frequencies with the lows since your sub frequencies are dominating the mix here

hey man sounding pretty good idea wise, I'm gonna list out a few things as i hear them!
the kick has an uneven click to it that is off balance with the left ear that i think should be punching in the middle. breakdown is sweet, love the chill pluck. some of your FX are a little loud imo but thats a little bit more of a preference thing. 2:30 is a nice build but theres some pedaling kick or some low end element going on there that doesnt meld well imo, feels a little muddied. Drop could use some revised mixing, love the overall idea to it but the bass feels oriented on the right hand side and as a rule of thumb you'll want your bass and other core elements (kick clap snare sub) should be relatively monophonic for mixing purposes and for club purposes. Good luck!

the pluck sounds nice but idk if its your master or your postprocessing but theres some either distortion or compression that is going way too far and crushing the overall dynamics of the sound. use limiters in moderation, id rather hear something clip slightly than hear a bad limiter ;)

really really chill stuff here. Loving the percussive elements and overall chill flow to it. I think that right now it feels like background tracking, and could use a bit more melodic elements that break up the chord progression to really hold a listener. mixing sounds alright but you dont really have too much going on maybe the clap is a bit loud compared to the dynamic range of the harp

your sound design is hella solid, mixdown however could use some work as it feels unbalanced and too sub-oriented imo, the snare is nice but could be complimented with some hats or a lower volume or a ghost snare or something. I say this because that kind of snare can get really hard to listen to over and over and over and since its your primary element that's breaking up your sound design it could use some variation to prevent the listener from getting fatigued.
compo is cool, and the drum fill at 2:37 is soooo dope
good luck :D

i'm going to assume this hasnt hit a mastering chain yet? i'd reccomend limiting and or using gain just to get the overall volume up a bit
composition is nice, flow is good, sounds are alright but i feel like its a little bit empty and the mixdown feels off, i cant point out what it is exactly but the whole track feels too heavily weighted in the midrange section IMO, sounds like a good start :D

- right from the intro theres some foley crackle in the left ear that is bothering me because it has no right ear presence
-the melody is a tad bit hard to follow in the beginning from a fresh ears perspective but when it gets to the drop it sounds nice,
-I think your drop synth works but could potentially use a little more distortion/layering to bring it out a bit more.
-pluck section is dope
overall sounds like a solid start, gl

Reminds me of earthbound, I dig :P
I think that you have a nice thing going and you could expand it into a slightly more melodic section that gives you something to hook onto

haha yeah i think right now my edges are rough when it comes to transitions, often i either end up overdoing them or undermining them <.<
as for the drop I think I'm losing energy because I'm kinda pulling my rythmic pattern in two directions at once. I'm gonna go back and try to rework it with new sounds and refine what im trying to do with the rhythmic tension

This song is generally fleshed out but throughout the process of working on it I feel like there are a lot of things in composition, production, and overall energy that may be lacking and I'm just kinda looking for a general critique :)

PS to matt and rishi, great idea with starting a new forum! good luck! :D
