(techno) DZM - 23!!!

Ok I am always a bit too moody with my music, so this one is a bit more lighthearted. Let me know if it makes you jump!

Hi Desmond!

I think the fundamentals are all there, the track has decent progression, the choice of samples is good, but I think there needs to be some focus on the mix, the kick is really quiet, which is the backbone of techno, so definitely needs to be something loud enough for the listener to anchor on to. After that, some separation of your other samples would be good, so they aren’t fighting for space in the mix.

Use your faders to place the more prominent elements if your mix where they should be, Kick and bass usually need to be forefront in techno, followed by the others as you see fit, then sculpt the frequencies with EQ and High Pass/Low Pass filters to get rid of frequencies you don’t want. That should help with separating each sound you have, and give it its own space in the mix.

Once it’s all playing nicely, it usually sounds louder too, which is nice!

Cheers.

thanks man, agree! I actually messed up and uploaded the wrong file which was a WiP and indeed, the mix is quite messy! Many thanks for listening, will give your tracks a go as well!

Thank you!
I dig this. Nice Breakdowns, Stereo, Buildup. You ain't playin'! That air sound - or drum echo... hmmmm....
This song brings out my wildest dance moves.
