theres litteraly nothing there. cant you hear it? i think u left some effects on or something.

I'll admit, it's pretty sparse and I have yet to line up a sample I split so that it splices, properly, but I've listened to every version of the render, including sound-clouds 128kbps conversion, there is. If there's anything wrong with it, it's that it is far too over-compressed and it's missing a little (well, okay - a lot) too much low-end, but the highs should be apparent.

EDIT: & the mixing is deeply, deeply (quite intentionally) flawed but the essential idea should still be there.

no, compare to Raphies version and youll understand that yours lack both bass, mids and treble. Im not saying it to be an asshole but its litterally nothing there. i can hear any melody, i have to turn up my monitors with 20dB to hear the drums, but then the odd kick without depth is in my face. its really weird and im wondering you have made it with headphones on max volume. thats the only way something like this would occur. and no its not compressed at all lol. again im not being an ass, im just saying theres something terrible wrong there.

Catch my edit.

I kind of made it to sound horrible.

is this some kind of sick joke then?

sorry i dont understand it. i must ask though, what do you use for monitoring.

It's sort of a joke, only I didn't mean it to sound so bad to earn your remarks. That may have backfired, a little. But it really was meant to sound retarded.


I'm using Sony MDR-700's and didn't even use speakers. Just ran it through the Mastering Suite on Reason 5 and then through a couple of bass shelves and compression in SONAR with a limiter.

Normally, I keep my headphones very, very quiet at about 30% of what the card is capable of dishing out. I'll export stems and individual tracks out of Reason and then mix in SONAR. I'll use both speakers and headphones to get the balance on the mix, right. I just put out a very rough rendering with this, though.

well the sound sux on it, joke or not.
and ditch those 700 headphones before youll have no hearing left.

Monitor upgrades are on my list after a fully dedicated music computer.









Should have used Raphie's as a benchmark - his mix is superb, at this point.

i listened through your soundcloud and all your other stuff sounds better so im not sure monitoring was the only problem in this attempt. there seems to be something completely wrong. the snares and hihats lacks 20dB, baseline is completely lacking, the kick doesnt have a tail and it seems highpassed. Theres no melody and the voicesample seems to be distorting of some kind. There are many seconds of complete silence. Practically everything is wrong with it and I doubt you can blame monitoring, its like its made by washley. Did you put a random VST-effect on everything?

edit: oh and just to make sure i dont piss you off lol.

Well, apart from the fact that I pretty much engineered it to sound shitty (but not as shitty as you're hearing) and that I didn't render tracks out separately for additional processing in SONAR, I have just upgraded to Reason 5 from version 3 and am quite thoroughly exploring all the new toys it has to offer.

I don't blame the headphones, at all, and my hearing is fine and being that I can hear my typing through the playback of the much, much less adulterated version, my hearing is above par. I totally get that it sounds like a washley tune, too. Even though that's quite a bit lower than I was going for it's still a funny comment.






Kind of funny bad

EDIT: You won't piss me off. I've since stopped dishing out much worse but I'll be fucked if I can't take a good critical thrashing, myself. Thanks for checking out the rest of my stuff too.

well im a harsh critic. some might like, those need to get their brain checked lol. Btw do you want my Reason 4 project file for the remix? I dont have time finishing it so you can take it.

btw Raphies version is pretty good actually, good work.
