Melodic, uplifting, mellow to slightly driving....feedback appreciated

Hey guys! I think I'm almost done with this track and am for the most part pretty happy with it. Was hoping for some feedback on anything about it... Thanks!

I really like your use of dynamics!, good work!

ps: a bit hursh only.

Thanks Mise! a bit hursh? =)

harsh, sorry, yes I find it a bit harsh for the ear, some eq around 7khz..

Posted by Illumin on Dec-29-2010 19:00:

Ok great! I agree...

Other elements that might need some re-work? adding, subtracting, dynamics, more eq work, etc?

Also, I've got some other feedback that the reverb used is not very warm sounding...

I would work on EQing the elements to make them a bit more sharp but less harsh, and then I would automate levels trying to give each element its standing moment during a section. Kind there is a little fighting of the elements trying to stand out al together at the same moment. (srry 4 my english, I am not sure if I am clear he,)

And after that I would check the final dry,wet levels!

hey man
im not too sure but to me it sounds great except that the high freqs are all having a party in the mix...the mid bass would sound alot better given the chance to shine a bit....so maybe cut a bit off the i dont know7-10k..(im not an expert btw) ;-)
and bring the mids up ...the highs that come off the mids (once you bring it up) will compensate for what you have taken off....nice dynamics..as Mise said...i like this alot!

its really just the mids that are still lining up outside ...waiting for entry to this party!

cheers man

Thanks! Definitely, the highs are fatiguing, it was always in question, but now definitely confirmed, so again thank you! I definitely tried to work on the dynamics throughout writing this track, so I'm really glad for the comments. I recently did eq work on it the brighten up the track for another artist to try out, but I think I over-brightened it in the process!

Loving the synth melodies at places in the track.

mixture between dark sounding and happy.

My thoughts and intentions exactly! Thanks!
