    Quite happy with how this turned out. I don't have super good monitoring but I did the basic mix with my KRK monitors and then used like 3 different headphones to find out any shit I didn't notice. It was an ok approach I guess. Pls let me know how the low end sounds though, I'm not 100% sure if it's on a good level.

    Finally got some free time and inspiration for making some tracks.

    Just a simple breakbeat jam:


    House or whatever? Used pretty much the same synths and drums as above but a bit more complex arrangement I guess:


    More retrowavish or something..?

    Goddamn these synths are lush.The vocal would benefit from being set apart a bit from everything else in the mix. It seems buried a bit. But the track itself is really lush. 

    Thanks!

    I prefer having the vox lower in the mix, they're just another element there.

    I enjoyed listening to your material last night. The changes are relentlessly good and interesting. The grooves are really good. To my ear it sounds like your older mixes are super clean and some of the later ones start getting into a second generation cassette tape territory and I wasn't sure if they weren't remixes of old 80's stuff till you corrected me. What's the story/process with the vocals? Which piece are you the most happy with in terms of balance between best mix and best music?

    Yea I sort of found my own thing when I got into making things sounds shitty on purpose.. lol.
    I just autotune and splice the shit out of voc tracks and add bunch of fx. I don't really care if the actual words make any sense.
    I don't know which is my fav track, it changes. But this is def my personal fav album I've done https://thiefinger.bandcamp.com/album/planetary-tones
    Don't know if anyone else hears it the same way but I just like the vibe there, never quite managed to recreate it later on. Was into Silent Hill 1 and 2 ost's and Twin Peaks while doing that. Well maybe the first 2 tracks are a bit cringe but the rest is good imho.
    Actually with QHP, I would say this is my fav I've done with that project. https://qualityheadprofile.bandcamp.com/album/things-that-i-do
    I had a really specific workflow while making those tracks, a mix of jamming and then editing those jams + adding stuff. Too bad I can't remember how I did it back then. Oh well

    I'm working on a new track, it'll be ready soon.

     

    BUT I decided to post some oldies on my SC because why not? These are fun tracks--- PLEASE CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST TOO



    There's a couple I didn't link but just check my SC for those. 

    OK SO I also decided to make a SC account for my super old tracks, like from 2011-2013 when I was just learning to make this stuff (haven't got far lol)
    There's some cringy stuff but also some fun stuff. I didn't know how to mix the low end back then so it's pretty muddy in most tracks

    I'm thinking you could back off the bass drum just a bit? It sounded a little grating in my headphones at least and besides I'd like the rest of the music to shine through more. Otherwise it sound really nice, great melody, beautiful sounds and develops very naturally throughout. Maybe there's a bit of Air in there?

    Thanks for the feedback. Can't be arsed to go back and change anything tbh. It is what it is.

    Anyway, a new track

    New track. First one mixed with my new KRK's. A big improvement to my monitoring situation. Probably far from perfect but now I at least feel like I hear what I'm doing.

    I actually prefer YT to Soundcloud, because Youtube sounds better to me, but no point in not uploading to SC. Also I feel that random people are more likely to click on an YT link rather than SC. Maybe..
