So I dropped the mastering (it was suggested on another forum since it took up to much of my time and I did not understand it either to be honest) but I did use the FX-G Master plugin just to gain the volume so it is on par with other tracks. Let me know what you think: https://soundcloud.com/mo7ex/getting-prepared

I like it.

I liked part 1 the most of the two.

I like reflexes a lot. Container not so much, a bit to much (reverb I think?) on one of the instruments. I know you tried to create an effect there but I did not like it. Maybe other people will like it, its more a personal thing so no worries.

Thank you for listening and the reaction. So the bass should be lower, okay will do that next time and I will try to sidechain it with the kick. I did that for this song too, sidechain it with kick but it gave some troubles and I just put it off... but will work on that too in next song if I remember.

Like this one a lot! Very good job!!!

Okay, got new headphones now that have neutral sound normally. The song sounds good on them but a bit weird on other headphones that bass boost. I would like you to take a listen to it and tell me how you hear the song on your audio equipment... Would do me a great favor with it...

Now, what happened today that made me so exited you ask? Well, I log in on ableton and think: 26 more days... And all of a sudden it says 86 more days active. I thought this was a bug or something and went to ableton website but it says also that you can download the demo version now and is active for 90 days!!!!! This gives me enough time to save up to be able to buy the standard version, its 279€ for me because I already have the intro version, price of further upgrades drops when you have one of them already.

I will surely do my best to drop some nice tunes. But I am very inexperienced in all the complicated stuff so yeah... will take a while to make something people will enjoy. Untill then, I enjoy it and thats already a lot. I also bought some new headphones and they were only 25€. Someone suggested them to me because they have a neutral sound. I mastered and mixed my latest tune with them and now it sounds so crystal clear. I heared it thru another headphone with bass boost, sounded good also, I listened to it thru my normal headphones for phone (the ones you have to put in your ears) sounded good on that too. But on my speakers it sounded a bit cloudy? I do not know a good word for it, as if there is abit of a filter on it to not let the high sounds pass? I will upload it soon and then I hope some of you will do a listen or relisten and let me know how it sounds for you so I can try to adjust some things in the mastering and mixing if needed... I will also remaster (and remix if necessary) my other tune. Me so happy now!

A wonder has happened! As I said, I downloaded the suite demo version of ableton live 10 after I tried all DAWS that got suggested by others (reaper, studio 1) I looked at them and said, they sure look complicated, this is not gonna work. I am not in the mood to relearn all basic DAW things. Its all so easy in Ableton. Then while laying down I suddenly thought about the demo version of Ableton, I got up and decided to install it. So that was wonder number 1, because I actually had used it previous year already and somehow it did not show up in my bought programs list (as it does now) So I still had a chance to use it for 30 days. In the time before, I had written a desperate email to the ableton support mail. I explained my situation and asked if they could help me in any way. I do not know if this mail has anything to do with what happened because I did not get an answer. Now, what happened today that made me so exited you ask? Well, I log in on ableton and think: 26 more days... And all of a sudden it says 86 more days active. I thought this was a bug or something and went to ableton website but it says also that you can download the demo version now and is active for 90 days!!!!! This gives me enough time to save up to be able to buy the standard version, its 279€ for me because I already have the intro version, price of further upgrades drops when you have one of them already. So me very happy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for the advice. I will try to do that then. It is true that I do not really take breaks and sometimes am mixing 6-7 hours straight because I want to get it done.. I need to take more sections in making music, like one day the composition, another day the mixing and then a final day for mastering. Thats the theory but it often does not work that way, when I am busy I just want to keep on doing it... but you are right, it messes up my ears probably and I make mistakes then. The fact that I am also new to this mixing and mastering stuff will surely have to do with it also. Thank you for the listen Brian and for the good advice, will try to work on it. Your listen and advice is appreciated.

Liked it

I do my best 🙂

Liked number 3 the most of the two latest you posted. n4 was not bad either but it missed something in my opinion but can not pin point what.

I can be wrong offcourse, have not listened thru speakers either, but for my own songs I know it boosts the kick a lot. So I need, when mixing and mastering with my headphones, turn the kick up a bit too loud, for it to be good on my speakers. Against the end of the day that problem should be solved, getting some new headphones that have neutral sound thingy. Hope they will help me...
