WIPs / Re: Housy Thing / 126 BPM
« on: March 20, 2016, 03:26:56 pm »
definitely a cool start. A few things I noticed:

-I'd get a different kick sample. It doesn't seem to fit. But that could just be my ears.
-I think you need some more frequencies in the low mid area. Maybe another bass layer or low pad to fill out the sound.
-The low end could use a bit of control. Kinda tough at times to tell what's going on down there.
-it feels a bit narrow. I think it could definitely use more stereo width.

Musically I really enjoyed it! I think it could use some work in the mix category but it's dope!
thanks! i will experiment with the stereo width and eq to try fit the sounds in one, maybe some kinda reese sounds can help to fill the thing out. Really appreciate the comment! :

Take it easy on the compressors / limiters / clipping. There are literally no dynamics.

You don't alwasy need to compress absolutely everything, and when you do a master compression / clipping / limiting the compression will just multiply and fuck shit up.

Ask yourself if a sound needs compressing, more than often some sounds do not need any compressing necessarily.
you're absolutely right, i need to think in a more coherent way when i mix, thanks for the advice! :D

oh yeah that is a common mistake when you are first starting, the best way to use compression is as little as possible, only use it when you need it.  If any channels are clipping lower the channels that are going into the group/bus or lower the individual sound.  A limiter is mainly used at the very end of a mastering chain to make the final gain increase without clipping (going over 0 dB).  If an individual sound needs it, compress it.  At your group level or bus level compressors are typically used lightly to "glue" the elements together, or to control peaks and achieve a higher RMS value.  You are basically doing the same thing with your limiters however they are much more aggressive and can kill your dynamic range.  Mix your track as well as you can and make it as loud as you can with nothing on the master channel.  If you can achieve this your track will sound very good when it goes to get compressed in the mastering stage, you will achieve commercial level loudness without having to push your track too hard and killing the dynamics.
Actually i know that xD, but ive seen people using limiters and i wanted to prove it, i guess if i dont know exactly what im doing i shouldnt compress the sounds too much, in fact i think that a controlled clipping many times is even better than compression, thank you for take your time and give me that long explanation, really apreciate it, cheers!

i really like your clap/snare
thanks! ive discovered that experimenting with the pogo option (in flstudio) drums get snappier cause it modifies the attack of the sound and the transients too :)

Yea it sounds over-compressed / over-limited.  Do you have a limiter on the master?
yea im using ozone 5 and the maximizer option and fabfilter-L, im trying to fixing now, the problem when i produce is that i have a very low cpu and it makes that horrible "clicking sound" when cpu is at 100% and it is such a pain working like this but anyway, im using limiters too in individual channels, could that be a problem too? im using it in almost all the synths

seems a little too compressed, maybe just my taste though. Could use some quiet moments in between 0:00 and 0:16, to create more contrast. Also needs more bass :D
Yes, definetly i have to make some variations it will be more interesting, it already has a bass layer with distortion etc, i should experiment with the mixing to stand out the bass, thanks for the opinión! <=

The beginnig sound very smooth.
The second version is much better. It has a nice beat, some good sounds.
i reckon im going to work in the second one, i think that adding more sounds with the combination of a good sound design could be a thing :) ty for the comment!

Gorgeous sounds in the intro. The drop is cacophonous, sounds like multiple songs in different keys playing at the same time. The breakdown again sounds great. So I'm really confused about this, it sounds really beautiful and horrible at the same time  ;D :-[
yea actually i think too that the drop is in someway chaotic i have another a version but idk if it fits either, here it is if u want to listen https://soundcloud.com/apeidon/126-clap2/s-Ujfp0

hi guys :)

started this wip the other day, would LOVE to get critical feedback so i can turn it into something better. don't be afraid to get super nit-picky, that kind of criticism is the most helpful i think.

thanks so much!
