I like Tiesto so that's the inspiration for using that hat.
As far as verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus or what? |
Well hopefully we can help more, I mean, for me it wouldn't be tolerable to focus on other things while the mixdown has such gaping holes in it. The loudness is obviously a problem and it wouldn't take very much to notch it into the mix a little better. This is where you are going to want to start approaching the mix pragmatically, figuring out whether or not the channel itself is too loud in the mixdown, or if you're dealing with an EQ problem that is creating the perception of loudness due to a frequency area being plagued by arguments or conflicts.
Noticeable abrasions in the mixdown should be swiftly dealt with before trying to approach your song in any further linear fashion, that element just sits very poorly in the mix. If you continue decision making and production at this stage I think the creative choices would be, in at least some respect, accommodating this poor sound in the mix.
In the end, a good song comes from proper decision making throughout the whole process, since as a producer you are also the composer and engineer, those two aspects tend to reciprocate each other. Who knows, maybe fitting that in the mix better will help inspire you finish it in another manner you hadn't thought of, and may inspire what becomes the final product.
