Re: In need of a mix critique...(Hip Hop Song with Vocals)

more bass needed! imo One of the last things I did was add a LPF to the 808 because I thought it was too aggressive. Turns out it was ME being too aggressive. Hip Hop with a lack of bass is unforgivable so thanks for pointing it out. :thumbup: More Focus on the vocals. There are too many Elements a...

In need of a mix critique...(Hip Hop Song with Vocals)

Hi everyone, hope your day is going well. So, I have a song that I just finished as a starting point for an EP and I need a second (3rd and 4th if I can get it :lol: ) pair of critical ears to tell me how the mix sounds. I've been studying audio mixing really intensely and have applied everything th...

Re: I Used to Be an Optimist (altronic-rock)

The instrumentation is my favorite part of this track. I like the vocal mix as well, but, outside of the hook I can't really make out what's being said. That's a small complaint though as this song sounds really good.

Re: (Experimental Rock) GuitArsenal

My apologies for the bump of this post, but I really wasn't feeling the mix on this track AT ALL. I was up until the early hours of the morning working on it and made some terrible mix decisions imho. This post is for the revision of the track. I'll be leaving the original mix up as well in case you...

(Experimental Rock) GuitArsenal

Hey ya'll, I was feeling a wee bit creative and wanted to see what would happen if I made a Rock-ISH track and mixed it with some hip hop elements like a booming 808 bassline. Well, I did just that.. arranged and mixed in a somewhat hip hop/rock fusion sort of way. I really had fun making this and h...

(HipHop Beat/Instrumental) Route 66

Hey ya'll,

This is just a beat I recently finished. I've been studying up heavily on mixing audio and getting better at production overall. So hopefully this track demonstrates that. Welp, here it is... let me know what you think of it.

Re: [Electronic, Rock, Experimental] 6 litres of brain

This is not my cup of tea, but it is an interesting track. I like the sudden transition that happens around 1:20 but I think it should have come sooner. The mix sounds nice too. Thanks for sharing.

Re: (Electronic, Electronic Rock) Mice in the Infinite Sky

I am aware that all my songs have a lot of room to improve sonically I don't know about your other tracks but I disagree with your statement for this one. Each instrument sits in its own space while the overall mix has cohesiveness and clarity. I would've preferred more punch in the rhythm/drum sec...

Re: Do you still use the SSL mixer?

The way I work, I absolutely NEED the SSL mixer, as I make heavy use of buses and parallel processing channels. I have buses with parallel channels to create a certain sound, that together go into yet another bus for final level mixing. Well, I guess I use the mixer more than I initially gaged beca...

Re: Do you still use the SSL mixer?

Yes I use every part of the SSL. It’s just insanely effective for workflow. Only thing I wish is that the spectrum eq had more db slopes in the LP and HP filters. And if it also had dynamic eq function on top of that would be godly, but for those times TDR Nova does the job well I STRONGLY agree ab...

Do you still use the SSL mixer?

What I mean is do you still use it in its entirety to mix a song? With me, for instance, I notice that I only use the send fx section for reverb and delays (or any effect I want to apply to more than one track), and handle everything else (eq, compression, creative fx) in the insert section. I almos...

I like the pulsing synth the track starts with,, that works well. The clattering percussion and piano go nicely together. The only suggestion I'd make is to add an echo/reverb on the clap. That's the only element that feels slightly out of place. First, thanks for listening and giving feedback. I a...
