Oh, don't laugh lol. Some of you might remember helping me out with the flatness of my song. Well chizzle my nizzle (?) it's too warm or something. I'm thinking I'm just going a bit insane because I heared my song soooooooooooo many times over and over and over that I actually wanne change it, just to change it :( I'm taking some time of on vacation, and I'll listen to it again when I get home.
Do you guys have that same thing, where you just want to keep changing, although probably you're undoing a perfectly good sound ? |

That is why I tend to spend a week at most on my tracks. If it doesn't sound good after a week it never will and it gets binned. |

It sounds great, but I don't know, it's like I want to keep changing stuff, just .. like watching a child grow up or something .. when to let go .. that's the question ;o
damned, I can't wait to post it in the amateur section. I'm going to send out the demos first. And then post a low-fi I think. But first need to fix some clipping /go on vacation :) |

| What is clipping? Is that when a sound gets too hot and distorts? |

Basicly the content gets so loud that it folds back on its self and distorts, wait. I have no clue what Im on about.
but YES |

Great advice, I recommend that everyone here follows that (given of course that you spend an adequate amt of time on it in that week). |

Personally I don't think so. You're to intimiate with the mix to judge whether it's good or not, and whether what is wrong can be fixed or not.
I say come back to it at a later date, when your ears are really fresh and can spot every little fault. Or alternatively, seek someone elses opinion, and get them to mix for you. |

personally, i believe that if i spend the time and effort working on any of my tracks, no matter how crappy it sounds, you can certainly make something decent out of it.
For example, let's say on one track, I have the melody, bass, and percussion laid down.. And I listen to it and it just doesn't to sound very promising or hopeful... I listen to it again, take a note of everything that does not work in the track, and I just take it out no matter how long I've painstakingly tried to create. This is the hardest part for me in producing..
It's like filming a movie: the directors are always reluctant to cut out scenes out of the movie that they've spent so long creating even though it's for the movie's own good...
Once I remove the unwanted element of the track, I keep trying new things and throwing out what I don't like until I finally get that perfect combination of sounds that I've always wanted but didn't come up with until just now.
Most of the time, the final track that I come up with sounds totally different from what I originally started because I keep adding/removing/changing components of the sound until I get the arrangement I really like.
But then again, you might as well ditch this amateur producer's advice and follow the advice of someone with more experience and more professional than me :p ;)
Just giving my 2 cents. ;) |

"Professional" :haha:
Uhm... anyway...
This is one of those things you just have to do your own way seeing what works you best. |
