Song intro
« on: January 06, 2016, 04:05:22 am »
Just an intro i've been working on that was originally for a remix contest lol. Currently nothing on the mastering chain. Interested in any feedback and ideas for steps to improve. Thanks! (Rip this shit apart)

The synths in the second half were awsome, they combined very well and were super interesting to me. I also liked your SFX. The only problem that I have with it are the drums being a bit plain for me. I feel like the melody in the second half is pretty big but the drums are not very complimentary being how simple they sounded.

Thanks! Any ideas on how to get my snare to be more prominent in the mix? Is it just the snare I made that isn't working?

kick has too much mid/treble. take a high shelf eq and pull down everything above 400hz a few db, and maybe bring the kick itself down a db or two as well. i don't hear a snare anywhere? there's a clapish thing near the start but it's almost too quiet to hear. the bit at 1:30 needs more going on. like some chords or a bass or both.

Thanks, any ideas for how to make that transition right out of the intro smoother too?
