erichodge Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 like how the kicks and snares compliment the bassline... it's a LOT all at once, right there in the beginning of the song though. nice drum switch up round :55, things generally too get a bit more crazy at that point in time. and the bassline at 1:43 is cool too, the way it wobs it up... i think, overall, it's a good track. a couple things i would suggest: 1. the drums get washed out by everything else, especially the bass. i think think the track could used a lot more mixing, a good bit of drum treatment (compression, eq, the works)... let those kicks run things, let those snares rule the rhythm, i think they'll work well with the bass 2. the song has 3 thematic changes, but stay relatively static within those elements. the elements are good, but they are not dynamically in opposition to one another; hence, this track has no tension. it's not pulling any emotions or anything like that. i can see how it would fit into a mix... and i probably would hear the best of it in that context, but on it's own, i think it needs a bit more to keep me coming back. good work! cheers, eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba69 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Sounds really cool, the double-time bass envelopes are really nice sounding. I agree about the mixing. Reset your faders, turn off the compressor, and go again, highpass some of the bass a little bit. I really like the breaks in phrasing with the vocal bits, that's a great idea. I think beginning sounds decent but as the layers build I think you need to cut down on some parts, i mean, there are different ways to solve the problem... so I'll let you figure that out yourself and Im not an expert but I have the same exact problem with building up different parts later on after I have perfected the mix that just ends up ruining it all. good job though.

Guest tht tne Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 it's a LOT all at once, right there in the beginning of the song i like this aspect of the track but i got bored with it as it followed all the way through the entirety save 20 seconds or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
