    Satisfaction

    This is a thousand times better. Great work! Also - I gotta plug the K-Dub's response. Ebb and flow in music gives it life. It's easier said than done, but if you can get away with taking it out, take it out - whatever it is, be it instruments or frequencies or plugins. Often times, less is...

    Overtime

    I'm just going to type as I listen. That clicky thing in the middle (not the stereo stuff) - is a bit too loud in the beginning - not bad... Just enough to say "hi! I'm here" too loudly.. Okay - drums coming in now - and holy cow... The space you've got around them is amazing... Very good...

    What did you produce in the Lockdown years?

    Nice! The tone of your sax is smoooooth. Great job! This is one of the funnest songs I've ever played on bass (but I'm not much of a bass player). Anyway... I produced a dozen or so songs during Covid. The one below is my cover of Bill Wither's Lean On Me - a song I've always loved. I...

    Trainwreck of a music video on youtube

    Oh my gosh... This is horrendous. They obviously knew something was wrong. Just stop the song, communicate for a couple seconds, figure out what the issue is, fix it and restart. Not a big deal. If stopping wasn't an option, and I were the keyboard player, I'd be reaching for the transpose...

    Satisfaction

    Upon hitting 'play', it's fairly evident that the loudness of this song is causing pretty heavy distortion. I immediately turned it all down (which generally is not something you want your listeners to do). So, other than the overall volume level, I don't hear anything too crazy - but, sad to...

    "Dream Trance" - New Minimal Techno Trance

    Trance is my jam. I've been listening to trance while coding for more than a decade now. This doesn't suck! I'd pump up the sub frequencies a bit and keep at it. Thanks for sharing!

    Rock On v2

    Wow... What a take on this song. So - bass is almost all sub-freqs and what sounds like room reverb... Like - the bass sounds like it's almost all resonance after-the-fact - with no original signal. Same thing with the sub-freqs of the kick. I would bring up the non-sub parts of the drums...

    Taco Night

    Man... It's been years since I've visited this site... The mix sounds good... If I were to nit-pick, I would say that the bass guitar is low-mid heavy. I would cut the bass at around 350HZ by as much as it needs... What a fun concept for a song! Also - I would bring the drums up just a...

    I need a song to mix - preferably not rock

    So... It's been a long while since I've been here, but more than 10 years ago, this place (and a guy named Greg L and a few others) taught me how to mix acoustic drums. I'll be forever grateful. I'm posting this because me and a good friend have decided to provide courses on the basics of...

    Up and Down (remix - remaster)

    Yo, K-dub. It's been years, man. Just wanted to come and tell ya - I think it sounds good, bro! I agree with the previous comments regarding the high-end. It might be a bit too strident. Also - the ultra-distorted drums at the beginning probably could have worked a bit better if it wasn't...

    What DAW are you using?

    Been using Studio One since 2014.

    Another infernal racket

    I love the garage feel of this. If I'm being honest, the delay on the guitar got just a bit monotonous, but ... love your drum sound and in general, the mix sounds good. The high-end of the guitars might need a bit of taming while contrasted against the drums / synths. Translated well over...

    i might be headin' east, might be headin' west

    Rock on, man! It's been years... Guitar work is fantastic, drums sound good, and bass is definitely above par. If I can say two things, they would be - that tambourine in my right ear gets a little fatiguing, and the drums need to be brought up a bit when things get busy. Keep rockin', man!

    Barely Alive - Grunge Song

    Okay... Straight from the gate, this sucker ROCKS! Yeah, man. Guitars are very present, and the drums are kickin'. Very exciting aurally. About half-way through the song, one thing that, which is totally subjective, kind of got on my nerves was the vocal doubling throughout. The harmonies...

    Rock Song MIx thoughts?

    Definitely reminds me of 80's rock. Like 38 Special and such.. Sub frequencies are pretty high, probably too high... Maybe not, though - definitely on the edge, though. Not a bad mix. The rhythm guitars are pretty buried... A little boost from 3k-5k might help em' pop a bit more. The...

    learning some new stuff about m/s compression and Vitamin plugins

    So, I thought the improvement from old to new mix was actually quite drastic! Kudos! Whenever I hear mixes from people using new tools (toys) they're usually WAY over used (I'm guilty, too), but in this instance, I think you did a fine job of not over-doing it. I have Vitamin, and I think...

    Vikash Moleman - Fantasy (2019) ❤️

    For the first half of the song, that reverse pump got really annoying. I almost turned it off. Then when it changed and got more rock, it sounded better, but a little too squished in the middle of the spread. I'd pan out the elements more, and perhaps see what is cluttering up the 400-500HZ...

    a high energy rock instrumental - "Michael's House (a slight return)"

    So, the first thing I noticed out of the gate is the hi-hat is pretty loud. Very loud. In comparison with the snare (which is probably the most important drum in rock music), I think the hats are actually louder. I'd bring up the rhythm guitars, too, and add some meat to them. I'd boost the...

    track i made-WANT TO REMAKE- feedback requested- any ideas?

    From a technical standpoint, I thought this was pretty well-done. Although it's not something I would normally spin up, I thought it sounded pretty good across the spectrum. As far as remaking it, I say do whatever floats your boat. I'm usually of the mindset to start something new instead of...

    Paranoia -feedback request

    So, I spend most of my day listening to trance music while I code. I didn't even look at the video. This reminds me a lot of a track off Daft Punk's "Random Access Memory" Mix-wise, I'd say there could probably be a bit more high-end to open it up a bit. The whole mix is pretty understated...
