So Vernon, can you explain to us why this mix is so shit? |
Since this is a commercial release, made by guys who have been actively producing and releasing in the scene for years, one would expect for the low end to not be be so crushed and lacking in dynamics, the kick/snare combination is quite bad sounding. The bass sequence is quite pointless and fatiguing. All elements sound overprocessed in a bad way, especially the hats. My overly reacted post was based on my perception of this track being praised as something very good, or at least over average, while it is really just a generic track, with the mix that could sound much better and richer in sound, and especially composition wise, it shouldn't be praised if all it has is delayed effects, really standard sounds, no emotion and practically nothing new/original at all. The only role this track could be useful in is a filler track during a radio interview. I don't know why you made a thread for this thread, unless it was impulsive, or someone you're affiliated with asked you to make some promo work.
Here is an example of a track that has it all, just for reference:

you've put up some super dodgy mixes of your own in the productions in the production-forum which leaves me baffled. |
Don't bring my lack of skill into this, I am just a hobbyist and I don't even bother to look for a release, because I have some standards which I won't reach in years. You can't compare someone like me to professionals (in this case Blusoul, for who I have a lot of respect, mainly for his older tracks, of which most had a far better dynamic mix which was far more pleasurable to listen to). But as all human beings, I have ears, and can easily spot a mix that isn't good enough, and as is, shouldn't receive much attention if it's commercial or not asking for tips.
