Have given this a try! :D Had an old track that was a year old then changed how the intro and chorus sounded. Got pretty good results!  :)

The resonating in cars is normal i think. Even other tracks that are well mixed still make the plastic in the car vibrate. You can still get a good mix by just using headphones. just make sure that they have a flat response so that they wont be boosting certain frequencies which will mess you up haha

Really good checklist! just taking a couple of minutes to check this can really make or break a track

LOVE THE CHORDS! but in the drop is it intentional that the chord is quite thin? just my opinion. otherwise great track!

The same what everyone has been saying, it needs variation especially in the beginning. Maybe layer some chords or add drum fills every 4 beats

The way I work is usually really messy (which is something I've been trying to work on), but here's what I usually do.

  • I start with turning every fader down completely and start raising the kick at about -8 / -10 dB. Then I raise the volume of each track according to what I hear.
  • Then I start panning stuff. The contracts I get are usually rock bands so I put the snare slightly to the right like if you were to look at a drum from head on (it really depends on what style and genre the track is though).
  • Afterwards I start EQing every single track.
  • Then I start compressing.
  • And finally, I add effects to the tracks (reverb, delays, etc.). This part is usually only when i do recorded bands though, I tend to use the effects in the synths I use or just add effects during the sound design stage.
Hope this was slightly interesting! (×ㅅ×;)

I also do the faders down method! you get a better sense of the track this way in my opinion.
Then do eqing then if needed compressing
then add the effects
then add another eq if needed

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Some tips on writing chord melodies
« on: January 06, 2016, 10:13:26 am »
For those who want to learn music theory I suggest learning modes for some good chord progressions! I have a track where it is in the key of C but I use F as my root instead

Finished Tracks / Re: Goodbye - Tiongcy | LMK what you think
« on: January 06, 2016, 09:06:50 am »
I think the arp in the drop is too loud, but other than that it's a pretty good track!

Thanks for the feedback! Will try to fix it up abit and try your suggestion! :)

Here is a great tutorial that can explain compression really well with visual aids on how it affects the sound!
