i cant seem to produce these days must be the depression of known its coming into winter soon. anyway i need to know what to add next in this track. i think my let down in many of my tracks is missing something in the arrangement. so if anyone can think what i should do next please let know.
i dont need opinions on eqing or mastering as its obviously not going to be done until the track is finished.:tongue2 but for the sensible people, what do you think?
SAMPLE
Thanks! |

First, you need to lower your levels. Your ears will die if you continue producing lik this:mad:, and you kill the sounds, and it you wont be able to master it. If you do this, i can do the first mastering for you. Im no pro, but i have the gear to do it and i know the basics.
Then i think you should work a little more with the subbass, cus i feel it doesnt work that tight with the kick.
Other than that i think you are making progress :D

| I think ur problem is that u do everything by rules, relax a bit and produce what sounds good. If u cant produce or lack inspiration take a break for a week or two :) |

limevision: your sig reminds me of limewire :P
yeah, i agree with lime there... sometimes ya just gotta relax on yourself for a bit and go offboard, discover some new techniques (they don't come by rules, they come by trial & errors). |

Yep, do reduce your levels as substorm said too. I know you're probably just sketching out rough ideas, but try to make a habit out of getting your levels at least roughly right from the start. Get your kick peaking at -8.0 dB and you'll have all the headroom you need to layer the other instruments on without having the sound altered by overboosting the volume. Also bring out the mids (synths) a bit more to balance the spectrum out from the bass-heavy and harsh-treble you have now.
Sorry that wasn't much of a sensible post, but I really can't stress the importance of levels enough. |
