Whenever I have writers block the best thing I can do for myself is simply push through it. Just keep going. Keep writing. Trust in your instinctual creativity and know that there is an infinite amount of music that can be written from scratch. I like what you've got so far. Keep going!

Hey guys,

This is the second project I have posted on this forum. I received tons of very helpful feedback the first time around so I am back with more.

I spent about two and a half weeks on this total which is more than I have ever spent on a song before. I can definitely say I am very proud of it and would love any feedback that you guys have to offer.

Enjoy the ride  8)

I really like the idea! That drop has a TON of potential!

A bit of feedback: The drop lacks energy. I think part of that problem is that everything building up to it is super wide. The main chords on your drop are too narrow. I'd try and aim for a bigger kick. The one you have kind of gets lost in the mix. After having gotten very similar advice from a few people a little while back, I can tell you it's all about headroom. Create space where possible.

I really like the lead during the break. It almost sounds like something Sunny Lax would use. I think the bass could be a bit stronger during the drop as well.

Overall, I am a big fan of this track. I am aiming for constructive criticism here. I know that I am always looking for that on this forum so hopefully this has been helpful advice. Keep it up. Really dope so far!

Really good feedback thus far guys! Working on a new version as we speak. Headroom is always our worst enemy. It always seems impossible to fit as many frequencies inside the song as we'd like. It's all about perceived loudness sometimes. I can definitely tell now that I have listened back with a more objective perspective that it does need more low mids. It also definitely needs more stereo width.

What I am really having trouble understanding is how their side chain is set up. It seems to pump in an almost non linear fashion.

My version:Real Version (jump to around 1:40) : Hey guys,

I have been working vigorously on a remix for super8 & tab's "Soul's of Lovers" and I am having trouble getting my mix to sound as big and epic as theirs does. I am getting close but could use some advice on how to get closer.

Do I need to change up the EQ? Mess with time based effects? Use different sounds?

Really just looking for general feedback here. I recreated all the chords by listening through a few times. I've also added some of my own sounds.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

ps. if anybody knows where I can get the acapella for the original I would be forever grateful.

how do you guys make a living while also putting this much time into music?

You find time. You sacrifice parts of your social life. You give up a few hours of sleep a night/week. You make plans and routines that concentrate your focus so that the time you're spending is worth twice the time spent just goofing off without a solid direction.

Eventually, it comes naturally.

Couldn't agree more with these words.

In all reality its pretty much impossible without artifacts.

Yeah I know it is without any, I just know it's possible to do it with very minimal artifacts.

Holy shit your remix of Gold Skies is SICK!! A few things I am curious about...where do you get your drum samples from? Also when you are talking about artists like Paris Blohm commenting on your tracks, through what avenue do you go to send your stuff to them?

I have only recently become confident enough with my tracks to be posting it / sending it to people for feedback and I would love any advice you have for me to get my stuff heard by bigger artists for feedback purposes.
