It is kind of strange that you are registering -6db and have this artificial fx (like sound deformation) going on in your WIP - soundcloud compression will not destroy your sound by that much!
Cheers,

-6db what? RMS? or its peaking at -6db on your master channel? big difference
listening on my MBP speakers, and it actually sounds good enough to me, isnt this type of music supposed to sound loud anyway :p
maybe the kick could be brought up a bit or space made for it as its not really coming through in the mid-range |

| There is definitely some sort of weird fluttering/distortion with the sounds, maybe you have some wierd compression settings on the master or something. |

@scorpradio
It's clipping pretty hard. Improving the mix should be main priority. |

Thanks for the replies all, and yep...listened to it on my friends monitors...yep, clipping badly. I will have to go in and see what the hell I did to make it so bad.
Thanks again and will repost after a mix change |

Ok...lets try this again. For some reason (scratches head) I found in my Master channel a Stereo enhancer,limiter and glue compressor. I cant understand for the life of me why it was there but it was. Just glad it was noticed and remedied.
So...here is the unmixed version. No compression this time :D

Things i see. The intro lacks character, not very appropiate synths nor driving but maybe this is intended.
The breakdown strings sound offkey when the stabs drop maybe you are using a preset that is pitched and the chords are the correct ones but does not sound cool. I'd work on the sound design of this part also, the synth needs to cause more impact, add some release to the amp maybe. You need a deep bass playing the root note to be more epic.
Rest is ok, cool ryhtm and ideas. |

Thanks Rodri for your reply. I have to say that some things I agree with and others I dont. The intro is intended to be just a bed (if you will)for the song, building intensity as it goes. So , yes..it is intended.
I do believe the reason the stabs (which are a 7 track layer)and surrounding synths might not have the impact is due in part to your last comment which I do agree, it's bass. Personally, I dont feel it sounds out of tune or pitched ( I also have gotten multiple opinions concerning this from others after you posted,from your response, and the others seem to agree. As well, if you heard each layer of tones you would probably see the difference)however...it was agreed across the board, it still comes down to ...bass.
Do want to say Thank you for your reply. It is ALWAYS helpful to get a fresh ear on your music.Especially, from a point of view that is constructive. I always find friends saying"Oh wow, that sounds really cool"...I dont want or need that..lol Here on TA, you guys know your ...and wont hesitate to call b.s. =OP Thanks Man! |

Everything sounds fine to my ears. The break is very good. I like how the vocals goes together with the pads. One thing that sounds strange is the raiser which gains to much volume in the very end.
And in the start of the break I think you could layer and fatten up the stabs who would be better with a little more body. |

I don't know if I agree that it needs more bass. The stabs needs more mid I think. Maybe they will be fine after a EQ boost. |
