Aleksander Van Hellsing - The Saga (NEW RELEASE. FEEDBACK NEEDED!)

here is an HQ download link. [[ LINK REMOVED ]]



here is youtube, (which does no justice to the overall quality of the track)

enjoy, and please tell me what you think.

Track is very rich, layered, and full. I think that most of what I would do to it is subtractive.

I wouldn't cut anything, entirely - at all. All the parts work well together.

The volume of each track needs to be reigned in a few dB, however, proportionate to the Kick Drum.

Did you stick a compressor on the back-end, for mastering? It sounds like there are some 'pumping' artifacts, most noticed by the subtle variation in the level of hi-hats.

I can't hear the vocal sample, on the break.

It's a very intense piece. I think it would benefit from a good mixdown, but that's about it. Most everything works. If some of the levels were brought down, it would make a lot of space for everything to be heard.

thank you man, about the vocals. i wanted them to be somewhat faint during the breakdown, then in the buildup you can hear them get louder.

tho they were not true acapellas, but i did the best i could to work out some of the background noise. if i made them too loud, you could hear some of the stuff in the background and it would not mesh with the track.



im going to see what i can do about mastering the track more and getting it 100% perfected. thank you for your input, its much appreciated.

bump: any other feedback?

Loose the compressor, you've got level issues and squashing going on.
Also you might want to introduce a counter melody somewhere, listering to the same arp rif layered for 5 odd minutes is a bit too much.
