Is this ok without vocals?
It's ok w/o vocal, buuuuuuut a lill' vocal fx, sth like a female choir "aaah" with a little bit of stutter on the tail could add to the dreamy feeling of the track ^^.

I like it but the whole mix sounds kind of boxy. Like there is a small room reverb put over the top of the mix (in particlar the rythmix section). The bassline is a bit to prominent sometimes, just putting it a few dB down should fix that. Other than it was a nice listen .

BTW - I'm making my first ever hip hop track with a rap done by some bloke, has anyone here made any hop? |

Originally posted by evo8 just a quick listen on my laptop here, like the melodies they stand out nicely, its kinda like that Anjunadeep stuff, definitely not deep house |
Ah I already made changes before reading your feedback Evo.
Added an Anjuna style vocal etc
Tried already reducing some elements
I quietened the mid bass in response to Storytellers comment.
Let me know where there are too many things going on and I will address
And I wonder now if to increase bass again?
I quietened the knocky kik
Darek thanks for the feed, hopefully the latest incarnation is smoother
Cheers

LOL That is cool as fuck Richard...
I usually judge tracks like this by how much "head bob" I do, I did alot on this..lol
Good "crunk" style there. Can't wait to hear the progress!
Sounds good but are you compressing this a bit too much? (at least in some parts) and some parts of drums are a bit to loud (for my taste Richard) - overall sounds really cool

Started working on this one the past hour or so and feeling fairly good about it. Lots of placeholders but confident in the prominent tones.
I think I may finally have my next original track which I havent done in a long time.
Funny how opinions on mixing mixing technicalities can be opposite.
I'll try and give my 2 cents to all tracks on the previous page later today

Originally posted by Storyteller I'm on headphones here but I trust these buggers . Hi Richard, I feel the mix has improved quite a bit! I experience less of the boxiness which I described earlier. That alone feels like a great improvement already. I do feel like it is still present though, especially on the kick. Is there still some reverb on the kick? Or is it just an acoustic type of kickdrum. Those sometimes have these type of tails when not dampened. I would recommend against changing the kick as it sits in the mix pretty darn well, but there is just something in it's tail that annoys me . I'm guessing there is space to increase the bass. I really like where it's sitting now personally. If the volume is put up a bit again I'd suggest just compressing the part where the bass (and saturation as it sounds like) goes up so that it doesn't cut through the mix too hard. I feel like this is almost the opposite of what evo8 is saying but that is how I feel . Also some attention to the compression on the overall mix might be beneficial. Sometimes the beats seem to be pushed away for short amounts of time making the overal mix sound a tad nervous. If possible try and get away with milder compression and opt for mild sidechaining here and there, possibly automate drums to lower in volume on some parts to give a bit more space to the instruments. I'm really into the futurebass/futurebeats (except for futurehouse lol) movement atm. Which is basically hiphop with a lot of electronic synthwork which back in the days were only used in electronic music. This isn't quite that, a lot more hardcore (newschool-ish) hiphop probably, for as far as I know of genre (which is next to nothing). Anyway, this is badass. I can't tell if the bass goes deep enough but I'm pretty sure at loud volume it will pound like mad. I'm feeling it. Nice tiny sfx in there and very entertaining to the ear. Well done, don't make it too long though I'm guessing that is the only possible pitfall on this . Unless you freak out like mad later on. I like the pads which you start out with behind the lyrics. It does feel a tad out of sync (with the lyrics) to me though. The drums don't do it for me, but I have to admit they fit into the overall picture quite well. The chorus is nice, I like the minimal approach but maybe some extra synth layers on top of the pads will give it more emphasis as now it is more off the same but only marginally different. |
Here is more develop version of previously posted track (vocal) as some people where interesting about future direction for this production.
At the moment I'm waiting for official vocal recording for this track but as place holder in structure creation process I used some different vocal steams (from Amy) lol, have fun guys:
Cheers,
Darek
