Hey Lolomiel,
I listened to your Mix and I noticed a few things: What I liked most was how creative it sounds in the beginning, I like the reverb a lot! The balance is a bit off, as the vocals seem very loud as well as the Bling-Synth. if you would decrease their volume and make the vocals less distorted, I think it could sound very well! Also, it seems as though you overdid the compression - Drum & Bass needs a lot, but it needs to be transparent just as much! Aside from that, the Piano is lacking some volume and reverb, especially near the end. If you would fix that, I think it will be a pretty solid mix! Just make sure that you disable the Kick-Reverb at some point, as it doesn't sound so well after the intro anymore to be honest. Keep it up mate, looking forward to render #2! Cheers

Hey Lolomiel,
it is better now, indeed! The "Lead-Synth" ( as in the file-names, introduced in the second Chorus ) is a bit quiet now & the vocals' reverb is a tad too loud in my opinion. It sounds better than before, though the compressor still seems to be a bit harsh, its too obvious still. Try removing it for now and re-creating it with a fresh mind, it really made a lot of difference when I do it to my mixes! Cheers

Hey Lolomiel!
Very sinister, brooding mix you have going on here. There's something going on underneath the vocal, likw a low end enhancement or something, that sounds somewhat disonant with the track's key, and the kick drum I think would do better with a faster release time on the compressor, so you don't get such a huge BOOOOOSH on every hit. I think a bit of reverb taken off the kick would be a good idea, too. Apart from that, I like your sonic balance and smoothness. A very cool take on a very cool track! Welcome to the forum!
I'm grateful for comments and suggestions. Thank you for listening!

Don't really have much to add here as Skelpolu has already addressed most of what I was going to say, anyway. One thing he didn't comment on, however, was that creepy fading sound at the end of the track. I love that! Very effective! Sustains the mood in such a way that you can still feel it for a moment after the song is over! Nice! I do feel the synths are all a little on the loud side for me, though. I personally love the reverb you added to the kick. However, I also agree with Skelpolu that the reverb on the vocals is a bit too heavy, as is the compression. As anyone who's been following me on this forum will tell you I am not a fan of master buss compression. At all. I personally believe that compression should almost never be used in the master buss, and the exceptions to that rule are very rare. Skelpolu has said that compression is pretty much a requirement of Drum&Bass nowadays, but as he wisely points out if you're going to use compression it shouldn't be obvious, as it is here. I agree with Skelpolu's advice; ditch it for now. I like the way this is going overall, though! I look forward to your next attempt. |
