New to the forum, 85% done Electro House track
« on: May 24, 2016, 04:01:21 pm »
Hey everyone, got an electro house track here that has caught the ears of two pretty big house labels in Sweden.
I've decided to name the track 'Shadowflame' right now as a temporary name, i'm open to suggestions for other names that fit the feel of the track.
I still have the outro to finish but i would gladly appreciate any mix/master feedback right now, as well as creative feedback (anything i could add, remove, etc)
The track is supposed to be 100% finished June 10 as that is the deadline i've been given, so would be neat to have some feedback asap =)

Love how well the kick is mixed at the beginning of the track - wow is it tight and crisp! I think your vocal samples may have too much reverb on them, but they still fit well in the mix and don't sound bad - just more of a personal opinion.

At 0:59 right before the drop, your last percussion hit before the drop comes in sounds very dry and I don't hear it come out in the mix like the other 3 in the bar do. The synth is mixed really well though, I like the unique-ness of the voice-y growls - did you make these in Massive by chance? The kick comes through still really well in the drop section, I love how you paired a high hat with it to bring out the high end more, great technique right there.

Loooooove the darkness of the section at 2:07. It's so deep, and mixed perfectly like the rest of the track - I can see why you do mixing/mastering for others.

The name is a bit cheesy for me to be honest, but I think it does fit the vibe of the track, and I don't have any other suggestions for you. But really really well done piece of music here man, it's quite great! Very well done :)

Thanks for the feedback! =) It's not vocal samples, they are made by me in Serum with the formant filter
The first voice growl thing in the drop is actually 7 layers of synths, but the main sound is made in Spire, followed by an effect chain of 19 different plugins to get a good sound
The second one at 1:15 is made in Serum

Yeah i agree that the name feels a bit cheesy but i can't come up with anything else that fits the track for the moment :^)
