M1cro5lave - Toxic Anatomy [Trance, Full 160kbps]

My second try for a tune here at TA
Still, I'm very new to producing (less than 1 month), so expect no top quality. I took a lot of advice since my last time and I think this one is far better than the first one I posted. Thanks for all your comments then btw, they really helped me a lot.

I'm not sure I want to comment on the title, might scare people away

Oh, and it's made in fruityloops.

I really appreciate comments/critics since I'm interesting in your thoughts about it and want to improve in music producing.

Cheers!

for 1 month, ur right on track
LOTS of mastering issues hehe, but right now where ur at u shouldnt pay attention to mastering, but to structure....

i can tell u know melodies so thats a good thing...
some advice for future:
try to make the track a little fuller at th empty spots where the main synth isnt playing, just by adding little fx and stuff, try add more percs and ur missing a main hi hat i think,
thats all for now
keep producing and keep posting...
peace out

Hey there M1cro5lave! Definitely better than your last! You've got the mood of this tune absolutely right, the melody is cool and the arrangement is really good. There were one or two fx + cymbal crashes that coincided with a change in chord progression where I just smiled and went "yeah - that's the shit"

Production-wise quite a way to go, as you'd expect. I think the main thing standing out is the mixing, a lot of the time the main melody, when filtered down, just sounds like a softer version of itself - during that time bring in another temporary element that has the focus, while the main melody begins to be filtered in.

I could hear some cool sounding fx in there too, but they tended to be buried a bit.

Finally, the bassline is great but sounds muffled, you may need to layer on another higher bassline, or EQ/filter the one you've got a little brighter.

Excellent work m8! Keep this up and you'll be sounding pro in no time.

Very constructive comments, thanks!

I see your points with the mainsynth when it gets weaker, I should add something more and spice it up a bit. good point. I should keep an eye for "empty spots" next time

Those fx, yes they were lowered. I didn't think they sounded that good too loud so I put them in the background kind of. I should put more fx in it tho in general.

bassline and synth needs work, I know it. Right now I need more experience so I learn how to use everything in a good way.

Thanks again! it helps alot.
