Finally when I have time to digest this WIP I see this message "Oops, we couldn’t find that track."

Next time I will have to be a bit faster man

You didn't miss anything, it was boring and badly mixed

Its good, obviously the intro has not much to comment on. The sound is pretty glorious, and musically it really picks up with the break buildup and the next section. The arp really picks the track up. Though I feel that the snare takes way too much attention. I can see what you're going for with the snare, but IMO it would be as good if it was at least a bit quieter, I don't think it would lose its function, but it would make the lead and chords more up front and balanced with the snare.

Few hours into this. Does anything in the mix make your ears bleed?

Nothing in the mids-> highs sounds harsh on my setup.

Good sound selection imo. Obviously needs drumkit, but it's a wip so yeah...

I can hear at the 1:00 mark, the plucks pushing the pad down. Either you have it side-chained, or it's your limiter. Maybe a 5-10% gain reduction on the pads might solve this, and keep them from being as overbearing on the mix.

If you haven't already, might make use of some subtle side-chaining from kick-> pad, so the kick has an easier time cutting through. Might opt for a low attack/release on the sidechain compressor, as to not add any pump to the pad.

It's also a good idea to center your bass. You don't have to, but bass frequencies usually carry much less directional content with them, so panning it to one side or another un-evenly distributes the highest energy carrying frequency (uses up more of one channel's headroom) with no real benefit. It also sounds a bit unbalanced in my headphones. (more ok on desktop speakers)

-edit- Listening through a second time, I can hear that it starts off centered and gets panned left. To me it sounds weird. But I guess I can understand what you were goin' for.

Great start imo. Melodic content is pretty neutral around the 1:20 -> 2:20 mark though, and I feel it would benefit from some more progression there.

Startin' to dig your more recent vibes. Gl man.

Hey, thanks dude! Thanks for analysis and advices, i've noticed the bass, was experimenting with widening filter but i will turn that off probably. Did some sidechaning on pad, i will adjust it more to make some more space for kick. And i agree that it need more subtle progression in 1:20-2:20 mark. Thanks again for listening. Glad you like it!

i like the music sounds really nice and coherent. if you keep on with it and fill it out could be on to a winner

really nice Gordan i hope you are still working on this - i think its needs some drums obviously but i wouldnt overdo it, some running shakers or a running background arp could work too
important not to let it become too crowded overall, good job, love the kick and bass!

Thanks guys, didn't really have any progress with that one yet even though i spend pretty much time on it. It's going to get rest now.

Got this but not thrilled. It's anemic mix compared to first version (500).




I've been working on this too

I guess everybody is dead It's missing some layer or something in the middle part.

Edit.. i've changed the middle part, not sure if have enough ideas for a longer version right now.

Smooth going (pad)synth in the background and don't put too much of reverb on it as you already have heavy layer of it.
