real cool ideas in here but it lacks energy. Things could definitely be wider. Also work on allocating more headroom to the sub. Felt a bit weak to me. Keep it up!! Solid stuff otherwise

cool track. Sounds original. I like the amount of space you created :)

Really enjoyed it. I thought the high lead in the second drop was a nice touch. Sounds clean.
really appreciate it. I had a ton of fun writing that second break / drop :)

Couple of finishing touches still to be made here, would love any feedback before I finish the final copy!

Let me know what you guys think! Always looking for feedback on the mix specifically, but any feedback is good feedback :)

For Jastun - Down:

It needs a lot of work. The intro leads could use more "movement": sounds like they're just straight sounds. Their sounds don't change at all, so it just sounds flat. More flat than necessary.
- The snares and claps are too loud.
- The open hat sounds...not so good. It's much too loud, and seems to be affected in some -way...maybe a poor filter or distortion. I'm not sure.
- The arp that enters at 2:35 is repetitive and slightly out of tune. Annoying.
- Is there a melody or hook that holds the song together? It could use one.
- Maybe the snares could use a little reverb.

For Jastun - T.U.N.K.:

This one is a little better. The kick is took clicky, and a little too quiet though.
- Claps are too loud again.
- Again, feels like it's missing a proper main melody.
- The lead that appears at 2:01 sounds out of key, and it's annoying because the rhythm it's given is repetitive and clumsy. And it's too loud. It sticks out.
- The ending could be a little better...as in, more finished. Maybe it could be more melodic. Your melodies are very "vague". They don't create an impression.

So, in summary, you need to work on your mixing, sound design, arrangment, and composition. And if the feedback sounded like a roast, don't worry... I probably need to work on my mixing, sound design, arrangment, and composition, more than you do.

yes to all of this

on what ;)

lol I.....I don't quite know how to feel about this. I grew up on bands like Blink 182 and hearing an electronic remix of one of their most iconic songs is quite unexpected. That being said...it's mixed well. Sounds nice and big. Good baseline in there as well.

Cool idea but the drop and overall mix is undoubtedly quite underwhelming. Don't let that discourage you! You've got great ideas here so far. The baseline is far too weak and it sounds like you either need more layers, more volume, or both. Are you currently using a limiter/maximizer on your master chain?

Love it as always! Your music is so epic and encompassing. Honestly from an outsider perspective, i'd make that second drop giant, melodic, and filled with pumping pads. I actually was expecting this when i listened to the build. I imagined the kick hits, you hear that little pluck as you do now (except drowning in reverb as it is during the break) and then the pads come. So the pads wouldn't actually hit until the second kick during the drop (1/4bar of silence except for those plucks and kick) and then explosion. Kind of as ilan bluestone does often times with his drops...it sort of goes against the listeners expectations.

Overall the music and the mix is incredible. I think it could be louder. This is something I have struggled to get better at but it is of course all about using your headroom wisely, getting everything to around -2dB  and then adding a heavy maximizer/limiter to squash it all together.

Keep it up man!!

Hey man! Love the song, just voted for you! Hope you win. I'll be honest, I like these vocals so I think I'll try my hand at remixing this as well. Probably won't submit it into the competition but will do it nonetheless.

One thing I was hoping to hear in your song was the upward chord progression pluck that you can hear around 2:43. I think if you made that your lead and transformed that into a smooth gritty saw chord it would build more fluidity and excitement in your chorus. But just my preference! Still, amazingly chill song, love it!

Keep it up, love hearing your music and watching you grow bro.

Much love! Btw your new WIP "Poly" is fucking epic!!
