So Sexy (Electro/Trap)
« on: January 14, 2016, 07:41:25 am »
What's up guys, first post here! 

Here's a project I'm currently working on.  It's a pretty energy-filled electro/trap rager and I'm looking for suggestions on my overall mixdown.  I've listened to it so many times that my ears have become "accustomed" to it and it would be nice to have some outside opinion.

Thanks in advance!  Also, I'm willing to "trade" analysis, just leave your link below and I'll give it a listen :)

Ha. Nice

I think that snare could use a little more compression to give it more punch, and maybe something to give it a bit more snap on the top end. The stabs in the first half sound a bit high in the mix.

I like the bass riff that starts at 1:30ish

I feel like the entire track has too much high end throughout. Too many sounds have a lot of high end or depend on it. That's okay though, just maybe clean it up a bit. The Prydas Snares that happen throughout the first drop aren't very "BIG" like they are often used as. Also during the drop the vocals maybe should be a bit louder. During the bit after 1:30 they need to be louder too I feel.

Ok the last drop is totally BA wow.

Nice one man!
To return favor would gladly give some feedback!
I find overall the mix is pretty nice, the kick in the first drop is fairly covered up and that's not usually what I would notice in electro.  HOWEVER in the second drop it really comes out with that sub (enjoying this trap twist!).  So I can understand it as a stylistic choice.  Overall I think the lead (mostly first drop) could almost come down a tad, at least towards the low/mid end. 
Great work man.
