Yes I agree. Mise you have a good early groove though, but there are certain things seem to be dragging like some toms there. Would you consider a note change on the bass once the orchestra stabs really get going, could be a good impact?

For me the track is at it's best around a minute in. That orchestra stab does not have enough persona or impact still. It's sorta lost and not standing out. It could be better with a bit of work.

Raphie I didn't know if the works you posted were yours or something you helped mix or what? Nice stuff anyway, a lot of work gone into it. I had it on for a while in my work today.

Looking mostly for feedback on the construction of the song itself, melody, development, etc. but any and all feedback welcome!




My honest feedback is it's a work towards your practice and progress but probably one I'd not pursue further. The melody is ok but timing and note wise pretty standard. Not a crit by me as I can hear you're learning the craft, so park it and make a better one.

Is this one done yet? I think the drop could be better but not sure if it's because I've got used to hearing it.

Is it too cluttered in parts? Is it boring in the drop and beyond? Maybe it strays from it's essential character there and becomes a bit messy?

to my ears theres something not right with this mix, too much compression or something, sounds like it cant breathe - also too much sub as well for me!

Richard thanks for your insight.

I like the mix and your sound selection, I would use the "thats not funny" vocals more, specially in the second half of the track kind of a hook. When you build the track again after de drop, I would remove the cymbals and put them at 2;32. I would also add a second break towards the end to give a little more of variation.
Hope this helps.

Doing a lot of synth pop and nu disco at the moment. These guys sound like Duran Duran, great vibe.

yeah, bit of a grower this one, wasnt sure at first on the progression - good job
theres a lot of noise in mix somewhere, id back off on that a bit Andy
also in little breakdowns, i would loop the first 2 bars, dont go into the full progression...just build the fuck out of it and then drop it back in

oh that bit after the final break is really good, sounds really clean, i can hear the bass now - its getting swamped earlier, i think the culprit is some pad or something - keep the pad in but try and EQ it so its not blocking the bassline?

yeah thats my advices , reminds me of Diving Faces a bit - i wouldnt mind having a go at mixing this Andy if your up for that!


Thanks..

Yeah I spent the day on this, I can hear what your saying now after having time away. It all stems from the pads (low mids and highs giving to much noise).
I'm hoping to get a bit time on this over the weekend so i'll see how I get on with it. As for you mixing it well lets see what the end result is like when I get some more done. What you hear atm is really all I have down but yeah I'd be up for that I think.

Really nice Andy, liking those wide subtle synths. IMO it could be better still with slightly more imaginative note placement for the leed as in parts it's a bit repetitive.


I Know I did try at the time but I couldn't get anything to fit so just repeated it but yeah I hear you and agree with this.

Andy, couple of things which I will try to do before I would go on shopping with this track:
1. I would keep this chords from 7th bar till the 8th bar.
2. in 1:09 (or at least 1:33) I would introduce another instrument (best would be piano) playing some sweet melodic part for more attractiveness.
The rest sound good so far
Darek


Cheers Darek, was already thinking about the piano bit but to bring it in at 1:51 :P

Sounds good andy28, i would adjust the bassline progression a bit so that the 2nd part differs from the first, as a harmony if you will but further great start.


Will give it a go..

Thanks guys for all your ideas and suggestions, will hopefully put them to use in the next couple of days

Nice groove but I think your Kick makes a little bit too much of a thud, could probably get away with turning a down a db or 2.

Your main issues are from poor sound design. Find a better bass sound, also the pattern you use for it you need to sidechain it hard, and also use a better kick.

Cool scary vibe you have here, would put you right on a bad trip lol..

I'm not sure on the clicky high frequencies thats going on though, I find them very distracting.

Quite like the john parsley mix, its a big improvement over the original which I find quite muddy in the low mids when everything is playing.

After the suggestion that were made here, I post the updates I made.



I do like this a lot, it just sounds a bit weak in the bass department compared to the kick, still needs moar sausage!!
