WIPs / Re: Odesza Style Song | Need an idea for the drop

« on: January 08, 2016, 06:36:43 am »

This is so dope.

I would love to hear something like a porta-synth; a really clean porta synth with a melody that you can just grab on to. Also with a decent amount of reverb.

It's amazing the way it is though. Really well mixed, arranged, and composed. Keep it up dude, this is good stuff.

Mixing/Mastering / How should you layer supersaws?

« on: January 08, 2016, 02:22:55 am »

I'm interested on how you guys mix a group of supersaws together. I mean, sometimes I'll slap a preset supersaw on top of my other supersaw without any surgical EQing or balancing. Is that normal/should I be doing that?

How do you guys do it?

Seems pretty good to me! Was this used for a pad?

Yo! If I'm doing some vocal chops I'll use Audacity to record acapellas off beatport, and then chop them up in my DAW.

Adrian & Raz has a TON of acapellas that you can use, and they even give you the key they were recorded in!

I really like writing in Cm and Fm. Don't know why, I just dig that scale.

Mixing/Mastering / What is parallel compression, and when should I use it?

« on: January 07, 2016, 12:06:26 am »

I believe I understand the concept of compression pretty well, but when it comes to an "advanced" techniques (such as parallel compression), I get quite confused.

1. What is it?
2. Why should I use it?

This was pretty great! I'm certainly no pro when it comes to mixdowns, but I couldn't really hear anything glaringly bad about the mix. Comparing it to a couple of (mastered) tracks I like that are similar to it, I'd say that the kick might need a bit more bass to bring it out some more. All the elements came through clean and clear and nothing sounded "muddy" or anything to me

Thanks dude! Appreciate the input.

Would love your thoughts on this early track, and any advice you could give. Anything specific on the mix would extra helpful. Thanks!

Spire. I could only use that and be 100% satisfied. Especially love using it for plucks and pads.

How do you y'all approach a mix, from beginning to end? Would love to try and understand a new technique.
