ok fella - opening track... ok interesting opening... your mastering is smashed as hell... not enough lowend.. too much highend.. cool fx to lead into the kick.. but it wasnt sitting in mix well..
interesting mix overrall if you want real fine detailed commenting ill give it to u but honestly your best bet is just keep practicing... it take a long time to figure everything out.. also.. depending on what ur using for mixing purposes you wont get a clean mix until u get the right equipment.. i know from experience.. i mixed 5 yrs on random headphones before gettin my alesis M1 actives
anyways good luck bro and keep it up u have some great material... this is the kinda stuff youll want to come back to 6-8-10months from now n rework and ull urself haha
peace out

ps check out my latest track - Meta-Amphetamine.. interesting mix of genres i thought. |

| Hey! I liked your comments and I would like to tell you a little bit about my equipment which I really don't have any :) I'm using FL Studio (don't lough), I have a set of headphones but I don't think they are the right ones for production and my pc's typing keyboard :) It's in my future plans to by some equipment but for now I would like to ask if I can find any headphones that can do the job. |

i mean.. i mixed on random headphones for about 5 yrs on and off just a hobby thing.. it really depends on if youre trying to make this something you want to try n take to the next level (theres a great deal of luck involved in addition to knowing how the hell to do it right haha :) )
truthfully, you cannot match the best headphones to decent monitors but theres no reason you cant buy a nice pair of production headphones - its certainly cheaper. i myself was in this situation a couple months back. i used to just use reason 1.0! period. now i have my ozone midi alesis m1active 620s and reason 3.0.. will be gettin cubase sx 3 soon as well..
FL is very popular and there r plenty of people who produce with it. if you are doing it for enjoyment, why not just stick with what u have.. you know it already so whats the point of relearning it all over again. However, if you are trying to take it somewhere, i would suggest investing in some more powerful DAWs.
in order of importance (this is a really tough thing to decide..) i would probably say monitors first.. u cant mix properly without them (or production phones) then progs/DAWs then midi n whatever else u want. monitors/progs for u r kinda hand in hand though because youre using fl so there might be a want for a more powerful prog.
ill tell u this, there are many more producers who produce on monitors than phones. not that it cant be done, but phones cannot reproduce in as fine detail the same things monitors can. maybe if you compared sick phones to ty monitors then maybe its kinda comparable but assuming youre willing to shell out a lil extra i woudl go with monitors.. theyre loud though so keep that in mind and with monitors comes issues with acoustics.. issues that r well worth the end result of mixing on monitors though. so choose wisely.
how much $$$ are you willing to shell out (ps check on some threads.. i had one i started a couple months back about this myself) |

| Listen, I keep using FL studio for the moment cause I already how to use it and I don't spend much time learning stuff. I spend most of the time trying to make my track sound better. Of course I want to get better so I know that I have to get proffessional equipment. The thing is that If I start using a new software I will have to spend many time trying to learn it first. I think I'll move a little bit to Abbleton Live cause I found it similar tou FL Studio, just with more features. About the headphones stuff, I know that the monitors' quility is uncomparable to the best headphones I can find but I'm not in po$$ition to get something good at the moment :) What do you think about ableton live? I know that Tiesto, Armin and PVD use it know... |
