Feedback Requests

[tired delta]

yea

how is it

[hazy tundra]

It's great! One critique would be the drums sound a little robotic in some places, but that's a common issue with a lot of productions so it's fine. Instrumental death metal is always great, but I do love some good old death metal vocals

[tired delta]

thank you for the feedback! i know that the drums are not perfect, simply because they are programmed. i try to use pre recorded midi grooves for drums but sometimes its just not possible to find what i want. so i have to squeeze in some handmade drum riffs. and they don't sound realistic. for the vocals, i was supposed to practice metal vocals this summer but family biz kept me from practicing so i'm stuck with making instrumental :/

[hazy tundra]

A good way to quickly "humanize" programmed drums is in your midi editor, randomize the note position just a little bit and the note velocity by like +/-5. It's not much, but it makes a whole lot of difference in feel

I don't always do that though, but I should

[tired delta]

hmmmmm i'll keep that in mind ty so much! my programmed midi tracks are always on 127 velocity and i only adjust the velocity when i'm gonna do blastbeats or ghost snares 😄 but i'm totally keeping the advice you just gave in my mind and implementing on my future tracks

[surreal latch]

hey guys. this here is a track I've been working on the last few days. I'm sorta new to recording and mixing. personally I feel like the mix is very off balance in places and could use some work overall, so does anyone know where I could improve on this?

[wide lake]

Hello everyone, I wanna buy strings to play electric guitar in tune B, without them turnning into spaghetti. Any reccomendations please?

[tired delta]

drop b or b standard?

either way these strings would work well

[wide lake]

Drop B, sorry 😬

[wide lake]

Thanks 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[tired delta]

if you want looser strings 11-56 can be an option too

[wide lake]

I might, I've been playing in Standard and drop D my entire life, I wanna try some heavier stuff now

[kind blaze]

would love some feedback or suggestions what i can do better

[open canyon]

Clean vocals could defenitley need some re-recording. Otherwise it sounds pretty good!

[high igloo]

what is your vocal chain? and do you have spoterfiy?

Separately

any tips or thoughts? Not done yet but i think its interesting

not specifically from you Kirva, this was just a post i was making after

maybe ill ad some compression

[kind blaze]

i used multiple layers, on the clean vocals and shout vocals. i did not put many FX, on them. not even autotune.

only a small part of vocodex.

[kind blaze]

instead of a distorted lead i would use a clean amp for the bridge part and the bass sounds a bit off at 0:30

[kind blaze]

hmmm

[tribal orbit]

[hazy tundra]

[high igloo]

alright, the bass is getting replaced anyways so thats good to know. I was using a very rough midi bass as a filler as I do not want to track my actual bass right now, I would prefer not to touch that thing anytime soon. And the lead I will take into account, thank you!

[hazy tundra]

Fixed the mix (it's still off but I'm tired of it)

[high igloo]

so I just updated my FL studio and started playing with the built in sample store so i accidentally made an i prevail song which is not something i want to be associated with lmao. the original goal was spirit box, hence the name of the old version, spirt. i can already imagine the overcompressed vocals.

im prob going to put a white noise syth matching the guitar during the chorus

and do linkin parky during second verse

and to think i got on today with the goal to make a thall part

[hazy tundra]

Nothing stopping you from adding Thall to it 😈

[versed remnant]

need tips on this mix as well as someone willing to add bass cuz octave shifting my guitar always sounds shitty

[hazy tundra]

Bass programming with some free synths can always work

[versed remnant]

do u know any decent free bass vsts?

[hazy tundra]

MODO bass (the free version) comes to mind first as it sounds incredible, but the free version can only tune so low

here's something I did with it

[versed remnant]

you see since the base tuning is probaby e standard I probably couldnt tune it to drop A could I?

that sounds sick tho

[hazy tundra]

It can go to drop A

[versed remnant]

oh

wait

swag

thats the tuning of the song so

that works

lemme fine it

[hazy tundra]

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/modobass2/index.php?p=versions

I highly recommend using Bass Professor MK2 for any bass tone

[versed remnant]

I found it

this actually sounds nice tbh

[hazy tundra]

I use it instead of my own bass in recordings

[versed remnant]

with bass

I think i might need to turn down the bass a bit tbh

Idk

Mixing is hard

I cant afford ez mix

[hazy tundra]

I mix all my stuff myself, ez mix is crap

(my opinion, not a statement)

[versed remnant]

fairfair

how do I mix deathcore

I've never done deathcore really

which is weird its my favorite genre

[hazy tundra]

Start by adjusting levels, then put in a very light saturator, followed by parallel compression, eq, clipper and finally a limiter

I mean, that's how I would go about it

[versed remnant]

I understood nonenof that

Except the ew and limiter part

Eq

I know how to do that

[gleaming haven]

You guys know any tricks for switching from writing in a scale to writing chromatically?

Rn I'm in harmonic minor but wanna transition smoothly to a chunky slam type riff

[versed remnant]

Bell.

[gleaming haven]

What a bell

[versed remnant]

drum bell

cut all instrumentals

have a full bar

and on the third click

bell

Chat what do we think

[gleaming haven]

Oh lmao

I see what you mean

[versed remnant]

Yesyes

Best transition ever

Or like a double snare hit

Double snare hit i really prefer only when then next riff is gonna be really slow and chunky

[gleaming haven]

Or pause and china cymbal

[versed remnant]

This is true too

[tribal orbit]

Not bad, drums are too loud though. Also you gotta double track the stuff

The vocals could be mixed a bit better. Can't figure out what sepcifically it needs, but some light delay and reverb + EQ would help

[runic adder]

guitars & bass could come up slightly imo, the lead at the end could also go down slightly
vocals feel a little dry; some light saturation, reverb, and delay could do some good

pretty good though, good job

[turbid radish]

what if its more of a just a heavily reverbed pitch scratch noise on the guitars?

[open canyon]

that is what it is. realy short reverb with distortion lol

[tribal orbit]

me when

trying to dial in the drums atm

[runic adder]

realized how much string noise I get when I play

any tips for cutting the noisy shit out?

[hazy tundra]

light noise gate before the amp and pedals

[solid cradle]

This is just a test of some new riffs I wrote earlier today, drums are not final.

[kind trail]

Need a mix review

[hazy tundra]

It sounds like the attack and release on the mix compressor/limiter is too slow, making transient peaks after every pause.

The guitars would require some more (or less?) or different eq-ing, mainly cutting out those low and high ends to make space for mid mid frequencies as they sound muddy and harsh. I recommend a high cut at around 4khz to 8khz ish and a low cut at 200hz ish, then boosting some 1khz and 500hz

Also, try either panning the guitars 90% instead of 100%, or adding a mono track with a high cut at 500hz in the center with maybe a 50 millisecond reverb all wet on it to add some depth

That's a lot of info, but not much to actually do

[runic adder]

if the mids sound muddy, why cut the highs and lows? shouldn't you just cut out some of the muddy mid areas?

[turbid radish]

Sorry I meant string or pick scrape lol not pitch scratch

I just typed it wrong

[open canyon]

ehhh prolly a mix of both, since there are bends n stuff in the riffs 🧐

[hazy tundra]

Sometimes, some frequencies make others sound muddy because they mask some dynamics. It's weird I know

[runic adder]

I think a high cut at 4K is excessive though

I think that might just warrant tone tweaks at that point

[runic adder]

Could I see an example of this working for you? I’m genuinely curious, those moves feel way too sharp to me 💀

[hazy tundra]

Sure, if you can send me a guitar track 😛

[hazy tundra]

4k might be excessive in most cases yes, but the point is to exaggerate the roll back of the highs then adjust the cut off frequency as needed

[runic adder]

@kind trail send this person a guitar track please I really want to know what the rock is cooking

[hazy tundra]

I might be completely wrong too, but we never know until we try

[mighty terrace]

First hour learning this riff I’d say I’m not doing horribly tbf

Yes my low string is missing 💀

Or high idk what u call it

[fringe bone]

was playing around with some ai and created a masterpiece

[kind blaze]

Little intro

[open canyon]

that made my fucking pants explode that sounds SO GOOD 🙏 😭

[open canyon]

though jus for dramatic effect, maybe add some cymbal painting jus for a lil spice lol?

[kind blaze]

I think it's worth a try

[kind blaze]

Thank you✨
Gonna be one of the songs for the album

Gonna send another song there today

[open canyon]

PLEASE let me know when you release, or if youve already released anything.

shits brutal asf man

[kind blaze]

I will definitely warn you

[kind blaze]

Thanks man

[tribal orbit]

Less gain, more gate

[tribal orbit]

Very bassy mix. Its hard to tell whats being played when it comes to guitar

[kind blaze]

another album song with no vocals for now

@open canyon

[open canyon]

intro went so fucking hard damn

[hazy tundra]

This is fire

[runic adder]

looking at this again, do you mean a dip at those regions?

or a straight high cut/low cut filter?

[hazy tundra]

Straight cut, though it can be a smooth gradual cut

[runic adder]

oh boy

once I get back to my workstation I'll send some guitar tracks, I need to hear what you're cooking

straight cuts there go against everything I know about mixing guitars lol

[hazy tundra]

I'm cooking brain damage atm but I'll show you what I mean

[runic adder]

aight

[hazy tundra]

This one I hard-ish cut at arround 5.8khz, and at arround 100hz since it's tuned lower, I wanted more low end

[hazy tundra]

And I would probably cut some more low-end to leave room for a thicker bass

[runic adder]

and how does it sound before the EQ?

honestly interesting

[runic adder]

what's different between "no processing" and "no eq"?

[hazy tundra]

Before the eq in the fully processed version I added compression and saturation

[runic adder]

I see

so no eq is with just the saturation and compression?

[hazy tundra]

yeah

I thought it disingenuous to just say no eq while I also removed the compressor and saturator

[runic adder]

that is a lot of saturation lmao

[hazy tundra]

Only in the high end, yet the eq gets rid of the harshness

[runic adder]

I can hear that

I can smell what the rock is cooking fs

[hazy tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/random-rocks-a24-stones-googly-eyes-gif-25810622

[runic adder]

I process my guitars pretty differently so it was just hard to believe a high cut at 5k

but yeah you really saturate that high end so it makes sense

[hazy tundra]

the "only eq" version is without compression and saturation, so you can hear that the eq doesn't get rid of anything important in the tone and even de-muddies it

the "no eq" version isn't really necessary in the comparison, it's just there as a token of honesty in the processing

[runic adder]

alright

I popped it on one of my own guitar chains just to hear it

def not something I'd use much because I don't feel it changes anything for me but I see where you're coming from

thanks for walking me through it through my doubts tho

actually nvm you're cooking there I just dislike the high and low passes

[hazy tundra]

It doesn't really change much on the individual track, it's in the context of a mix that it really makes a difference

[runic adder]

usually the case

modded it for my own use

[hazy tundra]

The low end will clash with the bass and the kick and get muddy real quick. Just a warning

Also, the high mids and high-end are much clearer in the first clip

[runic adder]

the first clip is the new version, yes

[tribal orbit]

I really like this idea, Natty

reminds me of old megaman x and zero

[runic adder]

I'd say thanks but it's a cover lol

[tribal orbit]

damn

[runic adder]

hold on I can send you the song

[tribal orbit]

kk mr man

[runic adder]

https://youtu.be/GIue4OB1D0g?si=d5GmHAiziQM1a0lk
original vs my cover

[tribal orbit]

In the meantime- working on an easycore cover of Stick Season by Noah Kahan. STyling it after ADTR's cover of Over My Head (Cable Car)

[runic adder]

i think I fucked up the kick in this version of the mix lmao

[tribal orbit]

Yeah, it gets kinds washed out

[runic adder]

I think this is the one with the good kick

[tribal orbit]

yeah, i skipped to 1:19 and it's instantly better

[runic adder]

good thing I didn't save version 3 in my daw (:

[tribal orbit]

Oui oui mr Natty

Wouldve been a pain to get the old settings

[runic adder]

sounds fun

yah fs

[tribal orbit]

I find it super funny. The original's a folk track, yknow

but it's all powerchords

like

they're all perfect 5ths

so it translates to Pop-Punk and EasyCore very easily

also helps that it's in a major key

[swift slate]

experimented a bit on this one

[native cedar]

This is actually fire bro! do you plan on adding vocals?

[hazy tundra]

I'm trying to write some swancore and I'm kind of blocked, but here's something I wrote (it's midi guitar, I can't play this 😛 )

Does anyone want to help me write some widly-woobly weewoo riffs?

[swift slate]

i can't do vocals but if i could i would tbh

[kind blaze]

Same
Same

[hazy tundra]

I could try, a fine addition to my backlog

[tribal orbit]

japanese scale idea

[timber kayak]

Tried to do a lil bit of Lazarus by Angelmaker

I can't get the highs though

So I don't even try

[timber kayak]

I also gave this part of What I Would Give a shot

[runic adder]

Been listening to a lot of metallica recently

[swift slate]

you can try if you want

[hazy tundra]

Hell yeah

[versed remnant]

I was supposed to use loops for the assignment I got bored thi

Its all using synths in soundtrap bro i can’t

I took music tech to get better at mixing and the teacher said hed probably have to ask me for help

I’m actually so upset about that

Fuck soundtrap

[honest saffron]

I'm looking for a first guitar, and listen- I have a HUGE disability in purchasing, and that is the need to stand out. I am originally a bassist, I just wanted to try out guitar (play bfmv the poison riffs until my fingers bleed) Back to the disability thing- I have a tendency to standout, an example of this is instead of buying cheap normie squier basses, I bought a manly ibanez one, so here I am asking

Is it better buying a used Cort VX-4X explorer off of facebook marketplace rather than going with a mainstream squier?

[real harness]

I've been trying to write the chorus for one of my songs recently and now I really need some unbiased opinions on it, because I'm not really sure about this chorus.

[hazy tundra]

I think the idea is there, though the vocals lack power, either because of mixing or lack of projection.

For mixing them so they seem more powerful, you could saturate them, add a very long delay (1/1 note delay, 1/2 note delay, 1/2 dotted note delay, something like that) followed by a long reverb

If they do lack projection, then layering with harmonies would compensate

A mix of both those tricks would do wonders I think

[real harness]

thx, will try

[real harness]

What about now?

I might've overdone the saturation a bit, but idk

[hazy tundra]

Maybe a bit yeah, try duplicating the track and removing the saturation from the copy

[real harness]

Like this?

[hazy tundra]

can I try something with the isolated vocals and then tell you if it works?

[real harness]

Sounds like a lot of hastle

I guess, I 'll work a bit by myself, but still thanks

[hazy tundra]

No worries, I think balance is the thing that needs working on rn

[kind blaze]

Hey guys sorry if i seem a little weird, but my family is struggling hard metal is the only way out for me but i dont have a band as dedicated as i am i am such in a bad place right now everything feels like shattering into pieces

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYtVtRze_Bc&ab_channel=TilTheDayCollapses here is a song

i only present my vocals on this channel and supporting other artist's projects / instrumentals.

[short musk]

first time programming drums does it sound too "robotic"

[kind blaze]

how is the built in sample store working? are there freebies also?

[kind blaze]

if i update fl studio can i use my older projects?

[tribal orbit]

the laziest of covers

[high igloo]

It works great, you can just drag anything you want in, there are tons of freebies. my projects saved over but there might be certain features that havent been ported so I'm not sure. I was using a really old version of FL before, i forgot what it was and there are so many useful features in 21. It is worth it and you can always just backup your projects.

[tribal orbit]

I added a bit more work to the cover so it's not 100% a lazy cover

but easycore of a Noah Kahan song is pretty simple tbh

Track pretty much just uses powerchords

[wicked berry]

Help I suck at symphonic deathcore please give advice

This is just intro btw

[wicked berry]

Loving the mare pfp

[wicked berry]

Sick! What do you use for guitar?

In terms of tone

[kind blaze]

I tune the guitar to drop D and pitch shift it to drop C# an octave lower. I use the Archetype Gojira plugin

And Paralax for bass

[kind blaze]

I don't think the tone is very good but it sounds decent in the mix

[kind blaze]

Sounds sick
what plugins do you use for the symphonic part? I just need orchestral instruments and piano

and if you suddenly know, I'm also looking for a synthesizer plugin

[wicked berry]

All of my plugins are free

I use bcc orchestra

[wicked berry]

And for that I use kontakt with a plugin called analog dreams which comes with the native instruments komplete start free pack

[wicked berry]

Ah, makes sense. Archetype gojira is so fun.

[wicked berry]

I didn't use it in the video I just put in, but I use it for so many things it is incredible

If you want more of a naturey ambient synth another one on kontakt that comes with komplete start that's really good is ethereal earth

You should just get komplete start due to its incredible instruments all for free

It has most of the things I use now

Including a choir

One of my favorites is raum, which is a reverb plugin

[hollow tulip]

some melodic death metal experiment i think

additional instruments will be added soon™️

[tribal orbit]

Damb that's sick sounding

Reminds me of City of Evil stuff but heavier

So good shit

[hollow tulip]

Glad you appreciate it

the idea came after listening to The Black Dahlia Murder a bit too much and wanted to implement some cool classical sounding stuff

so i had to make it before i forget

[tribal orbit]

based

[kind blaze]

Thank
Gonna try it!

[wicked berry]

No problem

Btw your stuff here is fucking awesome

[wicked berry]

That is awesome

[kind blaze]

Thanks
I hope the whole album turns out great

[wicked berry]

I'm sure it will, are you putting it on spotify?

[kind blaze]

yeah

spotify,youtube,apple music and other

[runic adder]

Redid an old clip because I got bored

segment of divine stigmata by disembodied tyrant

[wicked berry]

Do you use distrokid? I do and I honestly like it alot

[kind blaze]

I used to use freshtunes but there are a lot of problems with it so when I release this album I will probably buy a subscription to Distrokid

[kind blaze]

do you have a band&]

?

[runic adder]

vouch, distrokid is a very good service

[kind blaze]

bass tone

[wicked berry]

I have like 3 running projects, and 1 in progress (the one in progress includes the video i posted earlier)

[kind blaze]

Im thinking about buying a distrokid musician plus

[wicked berry]

I have ultimate

[kind blaze]

nice

[wicked berry]

Its very nice

[wicked berry]

thanks

[wicked berry]

i love that song

and oh god good bass tone

[kind blaze]

I also wanted to buy Ultimate at first, but I'm a student and I don't have a permanent income, so I decided to save money and buy Musician Plus.

[wicked berry]

thats really good

[wicked berry]

yeah, im 14 and convinced my parents to pay so 🤭

[kind blaze]

where i can listen your songs?

[kind blaze]

haha nice

[wicked berry]

i have a really dumb slam project that has really cringe theming

ill post a song in a sec

also the mixing isnt good on it, but that kind on purpose because its slam

[kind blaze]

the sound in my old albums was terrible so i even deleted them from spotify

i recorded first album on a phone

so yeah

[wicked berry]

damn, thats actually impressive

[kind blaze]

quality sucks

[wicked berry]

i started off early recording a couple years ago using capcut on an old ipad

never posted that shit obviouslt

https://open.spotify.com/track/738Ccr8PqtXLzCdV4ILck1?si=b66cb6a73b004deb this was before i could scream as good as i can now, but i still think its alright. also theres a really dumb sample in the middle i almost regret putting in. it was hard to find though

really really dumb sample

and i had a friend do half of the vocals

the pig squeals were me though

[wicked berry]

my main project though will definitely take another year or so

its going to be an ep

and its all over the damn place

[kind blaze]

You used to play better than I do now.

youre wild dude

[wicked berry]

Thanks alot

[kind blaze]

im not a big fan of slam but it sounds sick

[wicked berry]

yea me neither i did it cus its easier than deathcore haha

im dabbling in black metal too

[kind blaze]

gonna wait for it

[wicked berry]

just havent released any of it

[wicked berry]

thanks

whens your album coming out?

[kind blaze]

i used to do some blackened death or something like that

[wicked berry]

blackened death is awesome

you know much about vocals?

[wicked berry]

im like just learning lower ish screams and neep feedback

[wicked berry]

that sounds sick

[kind blaze]

thats hard question

[wicked berry]

hell yes

badass

i could mosh to that

[kind blaze]

now 3 tracks out of 12 are ready and a new member has joined us, from Russia, a vocalist from America and me from the Czech Republic

so the work takes some time, especially for the vocalist

[runic adder]

mr worldwide

[kind blaze]

but I think that by the middle of next year we should finish

or even earlier

[kind blaze]

It all becomes funnier when you consider that I'm not Czech

I'm just living there

[runic adder]

thats even better lol

I used to be in a project with a guy from lebanon

[wicked berry]

damn

[kind blaze]

I also don't know anything about our vocalist

[wicked berry]

thats funny

[kind blaze]

he writes the lyrics and sings, I don't even know his real name

[wicked berry]

wow

[kind blaze]

and the new member didn't even communicate with the vocalist once

Fucked up band

But it's fun

[wicked berry]

my symphonic deathcore project is just me, and some advice on songwriting and lyric writing from my friend

[kind blaze]

I am in charge of all the instruments and mixing as well as everything related to the band, the vocalist writes the lyrics and sings and the new member will also be a guitarist and another vocalist

[kind blaze]

you're doing damn cool even despite your age and if you take that into account then you're just damn good

[wicked berry]

thanks alot, i hope to eventually get a part time job so i can afford the non free trial version of archetype gojira and a better drum machine

[tribal orbit]

Thats a lot of responibility (i say this as I'm stuck in a similar situation)

[wicked berry]

it sure is

[kind blaze]

yeah sometimes i get so damn tired of it

[tribal orbit]

So fuckin real lmao

[kind blaze]

the listening is not growing and it seems like I am not very good at the skill

Of playing

But it's still fun

[wicked berry]

anyone who knows stuff about false chord is this any good

[kind blaze]

Sometimes more sometimes less

I even went to study at a music school but I still don't really believe that I will become better but it's worth trying

[wicked berry]

that would be fun

[kind blaze]

I'm not a singer but
For me
That's hard

[wicked berry]

Thanks, disembodied tyrant is peak

[kind blaze]

Sometimes I think about becoming a vocalist or a drummer, but I can't sing at all

I need to work on this

[runic adder]

Sounds fine to me

The discord notification in the middle 💀

[wicked berry]

yes that was me trolling

lol

[runic adder]

Lmao

Need to edit my current setup, my room has too much reverb atm to properly record vocals

[kind blaze]

I have a whole fucking church in my room

[runic adder]

All the reverb on these vocals is from the room 💀

[kind blaze]

do distrokid mixing are good?

[kind blaze]

i like it

would put it in my playlist

[tribal orbit]

very iffy

If you want, I can try my hand at making a master for you

[kind blaze]

what is iffi?

[kind blaze]

that would be sick if you dont mind to

like its already sounds good i think

but i dont sure

[tribal orbit]

Iffy is an adjective, typically meaning ambivalence, leaning on a more negative connotation

so it's like "eh"

yknow?

[kind blaze]

oh

understand

[tribal orbit]

If you send me a .wav file or something of the track pre-master, I'll try my hand at it

depending on the track, you might need to send me stems so I can make everything sit nice and neat

[kind blaze]

its too big for discord but i can send you my google drive

[runic adder]

It’s a cover lol

But thanks

[kind blaze]

what song is this?

[runic adder]

https://youtu.be/GIue4OB1D0g?si=TOZq1acvPXz3zhzk

[kind blaze]

Thanks

[tribal orbit]

Sounds good. Stems or the regular .wav?

[kind blaze]

but if you don't mind, i would like to send them to you tomorrow or by the end of this week

but I will immediately send you access to the folder in Google Drive so you can listen to the track, it doesn't have vocals yet but I've already uploaded it there

[kind blaze]

i think steams would be better

[tribal orbit]

ye

sounds good

just send em whenever

Update on this cover. Rerecorded all the cleans. Didn't have to repitch anything except the opening line. That was a nice surprise

[ruby sparrow]

just from the sneak peak, is it listenable?

[versed remnant]

Me when I cover Crewcabanger for my music tech class to probably listen to again cuz thats what happened with the peace sells cover (It had the highest rating I suck at this and I'm still so far above the skill curve)

I hate soundtrap sm

[leaden finch]

Just released a new song, what do you guys think?

[tribal orbit]

The vocals are probbaly the part that needs the most work

[versed remnant]

Slee deprived+sore throat already planned on rerecording them today

Thats really all I can do instrumental wise in soundtrap

Tbh

[hazy tundra]

This is awesome

[ruby sparrow]

ayeee thank you

[hazy tundra]

someone want to help me do something with this?

Nevermind I lost the stems... or I don't remember where I put them

same with this...

I really need to work on my organizational skills

[tribal orbit]

Me when new mix of track. Still haven't rewritten the drums tho

[wicked berry]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OuXSg8qA_iv5ysPIDBQasaJGiMNzPweO/view?usp=sharing is the bass too loud?

i love a loud clanky bass but i was wondering if its listenable with it being that loud

[kind blaze]

added choir

[kind blaze]

nice tone

[wicked berry]

lol after re listening a while later yes its way too loud

[wicked berry]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V2wwV6yGLCuavfNesQKdDadAqp8RrLP8/view?usp=sharing improved version. thoughts?

[tribal orbit]

tyty

[ruby sparrow]

short orchestral thall

[tribal orbit]

The mix certainly feels like a wall of sound

which is good

I feel like the orchestral stuff could be EQ'd a bit better so each part has it's own little cut in the mix tho

[ruby sparrow]

it’s more of a background element

[tribal orbit]

*I say this as I'm struggling to mix a Koto/Shamisen into a song atm *

[tribal orbit]

I'm aware, but it'd still be a nice little piece of ear candy

yknow

[ruby sparrow]

i didnt go perfect on the mix, things will be fixed

[tribal orbit]

[ruby sparrow]

songwriting mostly is my concern

[tribal orbit]

I believe in you

[ruby sparrow]

true

[tribal orbit]

and thats so fair

[ruby sparrow]

i could help if you need

[tribal orbit]

current mix with the koto

synth = vocal line

[ruby sparrow]

i’ll listen when i get home from skewl

[tribal orbit]

kk mane

[runic adder]

that's sick

[runic adder]

what're you struggling with? sounds fine to me

[ruby sparrow]

aye thank you

[tribal orbit]

The koto sounds too ice-picky

even after EQ and filter to try to cut the treble

[runic adder]

ice-picky how?

[tribal orbit]

The breakdown/bridge part sounds fine, but the verse just sounds

idk

maybe I'm just losing my mind

[runic adder]

idk man im not hearing it

the part at 0:36 sounds fine

[tribal orbit]

Maybe I am just losing it lmao

[tribal orbit]

That's the part I feel iffy about but if you say it's fine, maybe I'm just going insane

[runic adder]

who knows lol

I think it sounds fine though

[tribal orbit]

alroighty

[desert tartan]

Where can

I

Listen to this

Mastapiece

[leaden finch]

Only have stuff on YouTube for now, I can dm you my channel if you want

[desert tartan]

Please I love it

[wicked berry]

This is very good.

I wish I my mix could sound like that 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ruby sparrow]

yo thank you bro, that really made me smile 🔥🔥

i’m thinking on mixing peoples songs for free for a short period of time to see if they like the results

[wicked berry]

No problem, I would listen to full song it would be on my on repeat playlist

[wicked berry]

Can I try lol?

[ruby sparrow]

if you know how to exports stems and midi

[wicked berry]

I'll figure it out

[ruby sparrow]

alright, you’ll be my first victi- i mean.. customer 😂

[wicked berry]

Lmao

[wicked berry]

This is what I was thinking if having you try out

[ruby sparrow]

ill take a listen real quick

[wicked berry]

Also if for whatever reason like the tone of anything is off or if I need to add anything just lmk cus I'm an inexperienced 14 year old who doesn't know anything about mixing

[ruby sparrow]

i can re amp everything if you need me to lol

mixing metal is probably one of the hardest genres

[wicked berry]

Yeah that would be chill

[ruby sparrow]

i've been doing it for probably close to 2 years

but i've been making music for 6 years

[wicked berry]

Lucky me

Lol

[ruby sparrow]

very lorna shore like

i could mix it

[wicked berry]

It's been less than a year for me

[wicked berry]

Nice

[ruby sparrow]

if you're still 14, you have potential

the mix isnt bad

its audible

[wicked berry]

Why thank you

[ruby sparrow]

of course bro

[wicked berry]

That's a relief

[ruby sparrow]

trust me i've heard a lot of mixes, and they could use a ton of improvement

this one, its listenable, and enjoyable

yes, the mixing could use some improvement, but its not bad for only been doing it for less than a year

[ruby sparrow]

not bad, i have to say, you could try compressing the drums a bit, especially the snare, and put it louder in the mix

and see where the guitars fit after

[wicked berry]

Thanks alot

[ruby sparrow]

yeah ofc

[wicked berry]

also do you want the midi or the mono stems of the tracks that use midi

[ruby sparrow]

the midi

[wicked berry]

alright

[ruby sparrow]

do you have di tracks?

[wicked berry]

for di tracks i have only the bass and guitar

[wicked berry]

also damn what strings plugins are used?

reminds me of worm shepherd

[ruby sparrow]

perfect

[wicked berry]

do you need to know the plugins I use?

[ruby sparrow]

metropolis ark

[ruby sparrow]

if i just have the drum midi and the raw di tracks for the bass and guitar, i should be fine

but if you want the simular guitar sound, id like to know

[wicked berry]

its chill all my plugins are free

as long as its a nice classic crunchy deathcore tone

but i do use the ml sound labs stevie t djent god

on the thall preset

[ruby sparrow]

you want a thally sound?

i gotchu

[wicked berry]

yea also its all good if im asking too much but are you able to mix like 3 songs? if you were willing to i can get like a whole server of people to give me a rating on the mix and give the info back to you

i just have an ep and struggle on mixing

but its all good if you can only do this one

[ruby sparrow]

i can try my best

i use bitwig as a daw so i can just replace the audio

lets see how things go

[wicked berry]

all good

i can probably get you stems tomorrow at best

[ruby sparrow]

alright, take your time, just dm me them

[wicked berry]

cool thanks alot though

what plugins do you think youll use?

[ruby sparrow]

pod farm 2, for the guitars

probably some getgooddrums for the drums

and my signature bass tone

[wicked berry]

nice

[wicked berry]

which ones do you have?

[ruby sparrow]

modern & massive and the periphery one

[wicked berry]

nice

[ruby sparrow]

oh and invasion

[wicked berry]

i could go for the modern and massive as long as it has a high snappy snare

[ruby sparrow]

it has a lot of options

ill give you some examples when i get the stems and midi

to see what you like

[wicked berry]

okay thanks

[ruby sparrow]

yeah ofc, just want to test my skill before actually providing services

and i strongly feel like people have a lot of potention in producing and songwriting, but struggle with mixing and master

which is why i want to help

[wicked berry]

yea fair enough

[wicked berry]

yeah im lucky

[ruby sparrow]

i'll make sure to try my best to get you that ep out

[wicked berry]

means alot to me

also im in the process of lyric writing and dont have vocals yet, are you experienced in mixing vocals at all? its fine if not lol

[ruby sparrow]

thats the one thing i struggle with

i've done it before, i can manage it, but its not gonna be perfect

[wicked berry]

oh thats fine

doesnt need to be perfect

[ruby sparrow]

ill try my best

[wicked berry]

thanks

[ruby sparrow]

ofc bro

[wicked berry]

also, what do you want me to credit you as on producer credits

[ruby sparrow]

"PVTHOS"

[narrow trail]

The Start of a Beat - Thoughts?

[wicked berry]

sounds awesome

super industrial

[wicked berry]

got it

[solemn mesa]

start of a fun little project. thoughts?

[high igloo]

The project I'm currently working on, I think you can guess the inspiration.

[candid turret]

this needs hella work, and i was kinda just trying to learn FL Studio but i plan on making this a lot better once i get my audio interface

[ruby sparrow]

all i can think about is lincoln park

[zenith hamlet]

its very well made 👍 👍

[wicked berry]

Same here

[wicked berry]

Which interface do you have now?

[candid turret]

none

[wicked berry]

What do you use?

[candid turret]

mic

[wicked berry]

I used to record with a spark amp

[wicked berry]

Doesn't sound bad to me

[wicked berry]

This was not very pleasing

[wicked berry]

Oh sorry lol I misread though it said once you get a better one

But yea sounds pretty good

[ruby sparrow]

i preordered the spark 2 recently, its coming wednesday, is the amp good at all?

even if you have the first one

[wicked berry]

Oh sick! I have a spark 40, which is the first one and I love it so much. I can only imagine how much better the spark 2 is, after watching a ton of videos about it. I only don't like recording with it because there is a bit of latency and I can't find a tone that suites my recording style and it's generally a hassle, but it might be better on spark 2.

But overall I think it's great

[ruby sparrow]

oo niceee, yeah i got it for the soul purpose of practicing without having to plug my guitar into my computer/interface which is a whole hassle, plus having to connect it to a speaker if i wanted to play it out loud

i kinda just wanted an amp to bring around with me when i needed it, so it looks like it’s a good deal

[wicked berry]

Well it's a sick practice amp for sure if that's all you'll do

[ruby sparrow]

i was close to getting the spark 40 because i’m super impatient lol

[wicked berry]

Yep I bring my spark to school, it's a great size

[wicked berry]

I can agree

[ruby sparrow]

but i decided that i think it would be worth it just to wait however long it takes to arrive

i’m pretty stoked about it

[ruby sparrow]

yup, small but powerful

[wicked berry]

Btw, saw your PVTHOS on spotify, pretty good stuff

I followed

[ruby sparrow]

ayeee thank you bro! i really appreciate it!

[wicked berry]

yea ofc

[hollow tulip]

another melodeath project sketch

[wicked berry]

Sounds awesome

Who's your main inspiration?

[hollow tulip]

Glad you appreciate it

[hollow tulip]

probably The Black Dahlia Murder

of course there are other influences like the Castlevania (Symphony of the Night) ost

[fringe geode]

I decided whynot. It's not really complete yet but hey might as well.

[kind blaze]

ok final review here!

[versed remnant]

How does the current intro mix sound everyone? I want opinions on things I can change before I get to far into production so I can figure out what sounds best so I'm not recording everything to where it sounds like shit

[tribal orbit]

I’ll listen when I get to work and on my laptop

[tribal orbit]

The guitar is pretty muddy,and the bass is kinda loud

buuut idea is good

[tribal orbit]

thoughts?

[zenith hamlet]

good

👍

[versed remnant]

Thank you I will take this into note

I totally screwed over my filesave

so I lost it

but I remember how I played it

so

[tribal orbit]

Lmao ty

[brave otter]

does the basic idea i have fr this song even work? a lot of the playing is bad but rn idk if this even sounds good

[hazy tundra]

what do you think of my lyrics?

[narrow trail]

"Is This Art?" Patch Notes Ver. 2:
-Added Cello
-Added Flute

[narrow trail]

BREE out of 10

[hazy tundra]

I need some feedback on the mix

[zenith hamlet]

kicks kinda loud i think

but its very good

damn 1:00 goes hard

[hazy tundra]

I wasn't sure but outside confirmation helps

[hazy tundra]

Fixed the kick loudness and it definitely helps

thanks

[sleek merlin]

Hi guys. Relatively recently, I decided to write and post my work on YouTube. I don't have much experience in mixing and other musical things, but I decided to write here in order to get feedback and maybe get advice on what I should study to improve my skills.

Be straightforward and strict. It's important for me to know my weaknesses.
If you like it, let me know too)

Good mood and fruitful creative success to all🤘

https://www.youtube.com/@Soulinsuit

[hollow tulip]

1st listen imo the mixing isn't too bad for someone without much experience in mixing
what i'd advice is double tracking the rhythm guitar since it sounds kinda narrow (basically recording your playing of your guitar twice and panning both of the recordings on extreme left and extreme right so it sounds wider)
keep in mind you don't have to do double tracking on the lead guitar (especially on shredding), if it's for ambience purposes or overall melody, imo maybe you can
and you should maybe raise the volume of the bass guitar to make it sound more powerful

imo your track "ready set die" sets all the checklists on the above

[hollow tulip]

extended, added solo
the sweeping arpeggio part on the solo is inspired by Twilight Symphony by Thousand Leaves

[sleek merlin]

Thank you very much. I will try and work on it👌

[tribal orbit]

updated the mix a lil bit

Mainly the vocals, but some increased volume on the rhythm guitars

[tribal orbit]

The kicks a little muddy in parts

And i think the rhythm is a little too compressed(?)

Good track tho

me like

[hollow tulip]

glad you appreciate it

[hazy tundra]

Too much or nah?

I want to add more

MORE

MOOOAAAAR

[hazy tundra]

Where are the mids?

[tribal orbit]

Wdym?

[hazy tundra]

It sounds like the mids have been completely scooped out

[tribal orbit]

Really? Doesn’t sound like taht at all on my end

I was actually considering lowering the mids

Weird

[tribal orbit]

And do you mean the entire track or the guitars?

[hazy tundra]

The whole mix

[tribal orbit]

That’s strange

Cuz my master chain increases the low mids and leaves the high mids alone

Are you listening to this on mobile or pc?

And do you have audio enhancements disabled?

Cuz I’m not getting that mid scoop at all

[hazy tundra]

It wasn't a real mid scoop, just a surplus of 4k and lack of 500

sorry for the scare

Just for fun

Now the bass is too loud on export

What is wrong with my pc

[hazy tundra]

Btw the track is really good

[tribal orbit]

I will take look

Ty

[hazy tundra]

I messed a little with it in my mastering chain

[tribal orbit]

I'm doing some touch-ups with my master chain

to try to see what you mean with the EQ

A little tweaking, but I'm still really not hearing that big of a difference

[hazy tundra]

What I did basically

[tribal orbit]

Ight, I'll do that on the EQ

[tribal orbit]

Oh jeez thats a lot more than I have lmao

[hazy tundra]

That for my adjustments 😛

[tribal orbit]

Changed the original EQ8, added a second after the saturator that matches somehwat to what you did

and changed a little bit in the JST Max

left the JST Heat settings alone tho

gonna export lmk what you think

[hazy tundra]

1 - EQ saturator
2 - Clean EQ
3 - Tape emulator
4 - Compressor/Limiter/Clipper with basic eq

[tribal orbit]

EQ > Saturator 1 > EQ2 > Limiter > Saturator2 > Multiband clipper

[hazy tundra]

Sounds good, the goal is to make it sound like you want though, I'm just a person on the internet who's picky 😛

[tribal orbit]

Nah nah

I did notice something was off

I just was like

maybe I;m delulu

[hazy tundra]

Maybe I am too

[tribal orbit]

Also good lord my tracks take forever to render now

[hazy tundra]

Maybe a parallel compressor would make the load more easy to handle for your limitter and clipper, but that's optional

[tribal orbit]

I don't think ableton has that and I don't have money for more plugins atm

[hazy tundra]

My cpu is always at 100% usage and my renders take 3-5 minutes 😢

[tribal orbit]

My CPu never touches 100, but renders, especially on tracks with symphnic bits take like 5-10 minutes

[hazy tundra]

A compressor with the mix knob at 80-90% I mean

[hazy tundra]

My computer is old though

[tribal orbit]

icic

I think mine just needs a good clean

Also the second saturator is also a compressor

Plus, a limiter is placed right before them too

[hazy tundra]

Plenty of amazing free plugins on the market, no need to go for expensive or even paid ones

[tribal orbit]

Fair, I do use a lot of free shiz

[tribal orbit]

also does this sound better?

[hazy tundra]

Same, I just use my paid ones because I feel guilty if I don't 😢

[hazy tundra]

Actually does

[tribal orbit]

Yippeee

do either of these need the same treatment?

[hazy tundra]

Thrashed and Frantic Futile have something weird going on mix wise, but all bangertracks

[tribal orbit]

what dost thou meaneth?

if you don't mind me asking

[hazy tundra]

Thrashed has the same issue Smoking Gun had and the volume seems to fluctuate a little

frantic futile is just an eq thing like Smoking Gun

[tribal orbit]

The volume fluctuates...

Odd

[hazy tundra]

Like a tiny mini bit

[tribal orbit]

legit don't know how that could happen with my mix

tyty btw for the help

[hazy tundra]

Export sometimes messes up stuff

Now your turn, what if anything could I do better in my mix

[tribal orbit]

I will listen in one moment. I use ASIO, so that won't play until I close Ableton

and I'm fixing up Trashed rq

[hazy tundra]

You can always disable that if you want, though it will be at the cost of more cpu usage

[tribal orbit]

With how chunky Trashed is...

Like at least 20 tracks are just symphonic bits and doo-dads

that takes a lot of my CPU and RAM

[hazy tundra]

fair

[tribal orbit]

I saved the master chain I used on Smoking Gun so I can use it on Trashed (and FF for after I listen to your track)

big brain

[hazy tundra]

Galaxy brain moment. I always redo everything from scratch because I keep changing everything

[tribal orbit]

only took a year to export

anyway, I loisten to yours now

[hazy tundra]

That sounds great

[tribal orbit]

Reminds me of One More by Beartooth, at least at the intro

There's a little too much room (reverb?) on the drums, mainly the toms. Could also pan the toms a bit more. The guitar feels a little too compressed. And idk if im going insane, but the kick feels a little on the soft side compared to the snare and toms?

but me like

I like the breakdown/bridge kind of dealio too

[hazy tundra]

The guitars are a little too compressed you are right

[tribal orbit]

a mix of a high scream and a low on that section would be angelic

[hazy tundra]

The toms are actually pretty much just compressed and clipped and I removed a lot of them from the room track. The kick sounds a bit soft because I didn't want it to sound too loud or clicky, but that backfired a little

[tribal orbit]

Ah, could be the windows audio driver being weird

on my end

[hazy tundra]

I had in mind some high sing-screams with tons of reverb for that section

[tribal orbit]

I think a saturator at around 100-200hz would be good on the kick, thats what I did on Smoking Gun

[tribal orbit]

What if

hear me out

high-sing scream with lows or gutterals dual tracked as backing tracks

[hazy tundra]

mmmhhhh

[tribal orbit]

I can't sing-scream for the life of me. I can scream, I can sing, just not both 😢

So I envy you

also looking up your band from yoru bio rn

[hazy tundra]

We have one song out as of now

[tribal orbit]

When you start?

[hazy tundra]

Last december

[tribal orbit]

I listen to unforgetting lost rn

it gud

I give

[hazy tundra]

We have plenty of songs on the backburner, but I can't record vocals rn because of thin walls in apartment 😛

[tribal orbit]

Damn, founding to release was pretty quick for you guys

[tribal orbit]

🥲

I live in a college dorm and record in my room

Thank god my roommates dont care

[hazy tundra]

We made the song as a collab, realized we worked well together, made the band and released the song

[hazy tundra]

Thank you ^_^

[tribal orbit]

Based af

You wanna know something really funny

[hazy tundra]

yes

[tribal orbit]

me and my bandmate sumeir did the same shit

we wrote a metal track together and decided "fuck it, lets make a band"

Granted, we originally scrapped the original 2 tracks we wrote until like recently

Calypso was the second song we ever wrote and I'm glad we waited until I was a better vocalist/guitarist/mixer before we went about releasing it

[hazy tundra]

We also wrote a couple of parts of songs together before Unforgetting Lost, but it's the first we actually finished

[hazy tundra]

I mean, you can always rerelease, it's good for the algorithm

[tribal orbit]

Dawg, if you heard the initial versions of it, you'd understand

[tribal orbit]

Real

I gtg to bed, got work in the morning, but I appreciate the help. I sent a friend request btw

[hazy tundra]

Same here

[tribal orbit]

[spice arch]

almost done with this thing. pretty much gotta tweak my mids on the guitars a bit, get some vox in there and she's done

[versed remnant]

chat what can I change here

Personally I really like it, I wanna add some more drum alternations and vocals obviously but Idk about the mix

[high igloo]

i tried mixing in radio mono. Now i cant tell if the mix is alright, or if it is just better than listening to something from the 30s.
If its not good please help ;-;.
It feels really bassy but im not sure if its my headphones since EQ is almost flat with lower mids.

i have no clue what im doing when it comes to mixing lol

[hoary heart]

https://youtu.be/sHR7R-TY7NE?si=Nj2lPekxO-gi3Xb9

[hoary heart]

Are your headphones open or closed back?

[high igloo]

closed akg k72

[hoary heart]

Mixing with those is really really tough.

I can't really give much feedback as I don't have anything good to listen on currently

[high igloo]

Any suggestions for cheap studio headphones?

the video is really good btw thanks

[hoary heart]

No... You'd need something with a flat frequency response which I dont know any cheap headphones that offer that, most people recommend something like the dt990s and i have a pair but they still aren't great but might be the best "cheap" option. Headphones because they feed each ear directly makes it hard to judge the stero image well mixing.
Headphones do help bring out the quieter sounds out so they can make it easier to mix the really small details, purely mixing with just headphones is a really hard skill to get down though.

You can learn your headphones frequency response curve and mix based off of that but then again that's extremely difficult to judge and takes alot of time and practice.

[hoary heart]

Hopefully it helps with learning EQ that channel has lots of options for other things so if you are having issues look into their catalogs I bet they have answers

[high igloo]

I just looked up the response on these AKGs if youre curious, there is a huge roll off at 10k that might explain another issue im having when i listen back through monitors. I thought my monitors were just really whiny, they are a little bit, others complained, but apparently these headphones just kill sound the second it hits 10k

weird mids boost, usually headphones give high bass and treble

[hoary heart]

Yea I had looked them up... What monitors are you using?

[hoary heart]

It is a weird FR

[high igloo]

The cheapest money can buy, Sterling MX3s

not the cheapest but its up there

[hoary heart]

I'd recommend looking into setting up an EQ correction for them...

You could do the same for the headphones but the more you mess with the stuff then again more you risk negative distortion on the sound but it might be helpful for you.

[kind blaze]

random demo

[eager sphinx]

thoughts on this angle for recording?

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeodDDaH/

couldnt send the actual thing, file too big

[hazy tundra]

My bandmates were angry at me because of what I did to this section. Can you guess what it is that made them angry?

[real harness]

I'm finishing up one song rn, that I was working on for a while because of technical difficulties. And I thought that it would be nice to get some feedback, so I know, what to improve on, or remove, etc (kinda new to vocals btw, so idk, just to take into consideration)... also it's like almost 3 am for me rn and I have exams next week, so I'll go to sleep rn probably

[leaden finch]

Honestly just a bit better mixing and this is a hit ngl

[zenith hamlet]

i think i would turn the vocals up a little bit

but its good 👍 👍

[spice arch]

FL Studio is kinda tricky considering it was originally meant for EDM or RAP. I use it in my recordings too. I tried Reaper but it's just confusing for me

[spice arch]

I do my mixing with gaming headphones from SteelSeries right now due to my cat chomping the wite to my AudioTechnica ones I had

[hoary heart]

Just don't mix with headphones... Only to pick on small details only time I throw them on.

[kind blaze]

eleine cover of i got permission to cover it.

[hazy tundra]

Ia this getting too stupid?

Like, is the saxophone too much?
Or the hydrogen bomb sample?

[lost dew]

https://open.spotify.com/track/6gpE2lI3F2TvhIt7QoXCVh?si=V9pkZIjgQy6gTNmV5R0X8Q

Awfully absurd name
I know

[wicked berry]

this any good? inspired by immortal disfigurement's king

[tribal orbit]

This better lead into the most disgusting deathcore riff + scream

or I will cry

cuz that damn good

[wicked berry]

Thanks!

I agree lol

[iron cloak]

tried some industrial manson weird electro on this

[wicked berry]

bass intro

[wicked berry]

that is really awesome dude

love it

[fringe geode]

The song has been written as well as finally having lyrics. Opinions?

[wicked berry]

I love the way you wrote the drums

Pretty good!

Overall

I like

[tall aurora]

Sounds pretty good

The guitar tone sounds nice

[wicked berry]

Agree

[tall aurora]

My only complaint would be the vocals, specifically how they're mixed

[wicked berry]

Exactly what I was going to say

[tall aurora]

The vocals sound a little bit to dry

[wicked berry]

Really good though

[tall aurora]

Some background harmonies would help

I think it sounds great in the parts where the song gets softer

But yeah, other than that, it sounds really solid

[wicked berry]

heavy

super technical i like it

[fringe geode]

@wicked berry @tall aurora, thanks guys for the feedback! As a guitarist and former drummer, I know nothing about vocals or recording them, so the feedback helps!

[wicked berry]

ofc!!

[fringe geode]

Btw I use EZD2 to write my drums. I haven't upgraded to 3 yet but I plan to. But EZD2 is what I use to write drums 95% of the time. I use GGD for mixing purposes.

[wicked berry]

i see

ggd is awesome

i love modern and massive so much

[fringe geode]

I used a combination OKW Aggressive Rock and Metal.

[wicked berry]

nice nice

sounds good

[turbid radish]

how do you get the bass tone like that?

wow this songs amazing

[kind trail]

I added Scratch

[kind trail]

So basically, there are 5 parts to this.

1: the normal DI with some mild compression and low pass EQ

2:
A blend between the NDSP darkglass and parallax

3: high pass eq into compressor to accentuate pick attack

4: DI an octave higher into guitar amp/cab for more mid definition

5: Sine wave with some minor processing underneath.

It's honestly a little overprocessed rn imo, and I'll probably rework my signal chain to something more reasonable but yeah 👍

[fringe geode]

I just use Parallax cuz it does all that shit for me lol.

Minus steps 4 and 5.

[tall aurora]

If you guys played DBZ BT2 back in the day, you might remember how hard its music goes
Well, since DB Sparking Zero is only 2 weeks away, I decided to make some kind of "synth metal" remix to celebrate
I hope you guys like it :3
(still in progress btw)

[unreal aspen]

Got bored last night and put that together

Criticism is welcomed.

[turbid radish]

the guitars may have a lot of low mids and the cymbals might have too much very top end

[fringe geode]

It's Neural's Mark IIC+ (with some Archetype Plini X sprinkled in) through ML Sound Labs' MIKKO 2 plugin, specifically the Mesa cab with V30s.

[tall aurora]

Nice

[unreal aspen]

The instrumentals are the original. I only did the vocals

[unreal aspen]

Got my wrist slapped for sharing this in general: Kublai Khan - Supreme Ruler. Original track stripped of vocals and redone by myself.

Any/all feedback is welcomed and appreciated; questions, comments, suggestions, etc... 🤝

Nice

[tribal orbit]

tyty

[hollow tulip]

some black dahlia murder inspired melodeath thing

mix is still rough

[wicked berry]

Nice!!!

[fringe geode]

I put that in the wrong channel lol

[wicked berry]

All good

Lol

[tribal orbit]

I added a synth line. It's subject to change, but I think the rest of the track is solid. Also the really out of place synth during teh chorus is just a placeholder for vocal melody

just some thoughts would be appreciated

[blissful cliff]

Working on a punk project. Any thoughts on the mix?

[tribal orbit]

The guitars seem narrow

Still listening atm tho

So the intro teh guitars feel narrow. They hard panned?

[blissful cliff]

Yeah they are

[tribal orbit]

The rest of the song is fine tho

Hm.

Weird

[blissful cliff]

Well the very beginning isn't

that's just a single track i recorded of me playing through my amp picked up across the room by my mic

[tribal orbit]

Hm

The mix overall is good

that guitar is just stumping me

[blissful cliff]

The very first part is not panned

[tribal orbit]

yeah, no I get that

[blissful cliff]

the rest of the intro is

[tribal orbit]

You okay if I try mastering it rq?

[blissful cliff]

Go for it!

[tribal orbit]

kk

I figured it out

you need some form of "widening"

idrk how else to explain it

[blissful cliff]

on which part?

[tribal orbit]

exporting now with my master chain on it

I just threw my master on the whole track

If you have JST Maximizer, or use ableton, I can show you how
