Am i high passing too much?

im still pretty green to mixing so im not sure but this track i wrote seems a little too thin.....any thoughts would be appreciated thanx

Pretty cool track actually man...I would say that a focus on the lower frequencies is in need.

Posted by Seven Doxian on Mar-09-2014 19:22:

thanks for your input....do you think the kick is too low or the sub bass...or both ?

Posted by SystematicX1 on Mar-09-2014 19:29:

Both actually.
The track to me seems very flat on any bass response

very good thanks....im using HS 80s and their new so the bass response may need to be adjusted...

Really well made track with intelligent melodic work, but there's something flammy about the kick and it moves tonally up and down, is that a deliberate artistic touch?

1. The main lead and snare sound like they have been high passed too much.
2. Make your snare mono and don't pan it.
3. Don't be afraid to cut some highs. Just as you don't want every instrument leaking into the bass region, you don't want every instrument turning your highs into white noise.
4. Try to use the most conservative roll-off that you can get away with.

Other than that it sounds decent. It does sound kind of boring to me, but I don't listen to much unicorn anymore.

Sounds like a decent track to me, but I would make the kick less rounded and opt for a punchier sound.

If we mind asking yourself? Of course we don't!

Seriously, if you wanna make this game next time at least be sure to substitute the clap, otherwise everything's too obvious.

Didn't save it but I think it was some low shelf gain (about 5-6db) below 100hz and a little bit of gain between 100hz and 200hz.
