Looking for advice/criticism on the mixing of a track

[Guest Tamas]

Sooooo I'm getting together my latest work, it's been a year of work on and off, and I'm pretty happy with the songs overall, but I'm mastering now.

 

To be honest I don't have monitors (I'll be buying some soon to do a final master), but I've used multiple sets of speakers/headphones etc and of course doing a thorough run through with the frequency analysis, and I'm pretty happy with it overall but I would still like advice, especially from people who like electronic music (other genres are mixed differently I think).

 

I'd really love it if someone opened the song in some audio program and listened to it while looking at the frequency analysis, though of course I'd love for anyone to listen to it through a good set of monitors and give me advice about what I should focus on for doing the final mix, it'd be really appreciated!! =)

 

Either way thanks to anyone who listens and I hope you enjoy it!

Don't look at frequency analyzers. My friend did that once when he mastered some of my tracks, and he somehow managed to remove some of the sounds I really liked, because he said that they would't be able to hear them on normal speakers. So don't ever look at frequency analyzers.

I'm listening to this with my headphones on and on my monitors and I think it sounds pretty damn good.

wow! that track is fucking wicked!! congrats!

[Guest Tamas]

Thanks to both of you!! I have worked really hard mastering the whole album, probably spent something like 60 hours in the past 3 weeks... It sounds pretty ridiculous, but I will master all the tracks one day, listen to it the next morning when I'm going to work, and then realize things I want to sound differently, and then redo the whole process that night, I only concluded I was done for now this last week...

the whole track should be louder imo

Yeah, I think for a lot of people a lower dynamic range would be better, especially for listening to while being in the metro or something, but I don't know, I don't want the entire thing to be completely loud...

 

I suppose if I EQ things more, I can really make certain frequencies louder, especially at points where they're less present, but you mean making the entire track as a whole getting closer to 0dB?

 

Either way, thanks for the opinion. =)

[Guest oxynucid]

if it sounds good through a really shit stereo and speakers it will sound good through anything

[Guest Joence]

Loved it.

Shame I had to listen to it through my cheap old speakers :(

Good job.
