Finished Tracks / Re: Flyover - Phone | [Madeon/Passion Pit Style]

The idea is awesome, but the arpeggiator is way too dry and consistant. Try putting some delay or reverb on that thing to make it less annoying.

The vocal needs to be much clearer in the verse at least. Levels needs to be readjusted. Love the harmonics with the fith-interval at 2:08.

Love it man! I don't pretend to know more than you but I agree with guldberg in the sense that it could use a little more space/reverb. It feels a bit too mono, and that may have been what you were going for. Love the song over all though!

Thanks dudes!
Glad you liked the track, obviously use those bits of feedback when I finally get around to remastering

As Mat_Zo said, it's a forum based for music producer. A thread like that could be usefull for people who don't have connection, but i'm sure it won't see the daylight.

Fair enough

R&A Graveyard / Section for Artwork?

Perhaps a section for producer's to suggest how or who they get the artwork.

Maybe even Photoshop / Gimp / Inkscape tip threads.

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Is mastering always neccesary?

I think the best example of no mastering has to be either Passion pit's first ep or Daft Punk's homework (which was mastered on a boombox)

Just the rawness really adds to the whole vibe, they both really feels like they've been recorded in someones bedroom somewhere.

Although SebastiAn's production is literally mastering based and its all compressed as hell
Doesn't stop it from being awesome tho

Sup Rob <3

I'd use it if I need to do extreme EQ changes to a track, so the multiband compressor keeps it in check so that problematic frequency won't bite me up the ass later, saves time from automating an EQ. on the master track it's just a very basic mastering preset that keeps everything in check and I then back and forth make sure that it doesn't change too much the original sound I intended, and that's it really. I'd really recommend GlissEQ btw, this makes the idea of multiband compression to be much simpler to grasp for a start. later I'd recommend Maximus, ProMB and C4 to check out.

Downloaded GlissEQ, started using and it was like a Lightbulb going off.
Thanks dude!

Never thought of having a dedicated reverb send. Possible idiot question incoming: Can you route multiple channels through it and tweak the reverb independently on each one or do they all run through with the same settings?

Also which DAW are you using? Just out of curiosity :)

I don't think you can tweak them independently unfortunately. But yeah, you can run multiple channels though it

My setup is having a dedicated Reverb send channel and a sidechain channel to route everything I want to sidechain. the master channel just has a multiband compressor, an EQ for cutting the Side at around 150Hz and OZone for Dithering and Intersample Detection. everything else is just adding up to it.

How do you even use a multi band compressor properly? I've fiddled with Ableton's dedicated one and I'm still not 100% sure on what scenario you'd use it in. Obviously its useful for the master bus, but in what way?

(Getting back into the thread topic)
I have a very basic setup of a Bad Speaker EQ (for checking out if the track will sound good on phone speakers) and the Analog Tape Strip preset in Ableton because I'm lazy.
Often I add a slight reverb on the master before final mastering takes place too.
