Thanks

Tried singing more in this one.

[tribal orbit]

sounds kewl. The vocals are a little too loud, could do with some better eq so they don't seem they're sticking out too much

anyways, update on this

I fear it may be a bit too dark. Might lower the bass

I lowered the bass

That sounds filthy

[kind blaze]

a lot of sound design and mastering.

[shut igloo]

got any tutorial

?

[kind blaze]

finished

[round saffron]

[kind blaze]

maybe gonna add one more part before the end

[round saffron]

Hard af

[wicked berry]

thall with ring mod screeches

[mortal dock]

It do be chugging !

[candid plover]

HARDDD

[round saffron]

will re record he vocals Tommorow but the instrumental goes Pretty hard

[hollow tulip]

shiiiiit man
overall hits hard, but I think you gotta fix those little guitar stuffs like at 2:13 because they kinda sound out of place. You should also increase the bass guitar (or at least, the low-end) since it's kinda missing that "in your face" feel

I remade a portion of "Calm Eyes Fixed On Me, Screaming" from post-hardcore/metalcore band Foreground Eclipse to experiment with drum tones and learn a bit about drum programming
I tried to make the drums sound kinda "raw"/lo-fi-ish but snappy (that's the best I can describe it). wdyt of the drums

[round saffron]

thanks for the feedback

[hollow tulip]

no problem :D

[round saffron]

The kinda Out of Place Feel btw On that high part is kinda intented

[hollow tulip]

oh okay

[round saffron]

so Glad it works xD

[hollow tulip]

that part should probably have some more noise or distortion that way it doesn't sound like someone goofing around w/ a guitar

[round saffron]

But It's literally me goofing Round with a guitar so xDDDDD

tommorow I will record vocals so

[hollow tulip]

oh

okay

good luck

[round saffron]

re record sorry so I will do some things

There

[round saffron]

I mean also it has plenty low end so I'll maybe just Compress it harder

[round saffron]

Btw good stuff

[hollow tulip]

credits to the original artists btw. check the song out if you can

[round saffron]

Oh yeah

[versed remnant]

dw this just need a spot to put it for a minute

[kind blaze]

i have 20 years+ experience of music production and mastering like 4 years. i am 25 years old right now.. i dont know how to explain it but try to UNDERSTAND and FEEL the music more, BE THE MUSIC, try to understand why they've done the patterns that way they did released it. and why they did not tried it another way arround.

simplicity is KEY in some parts but catchy melodys are carrying the song most of the time.

[hollow aspen]

want to see if this is a keep working on or scrap

[round saffron]

new mix Who dis

[round saffron]

So I'm covering one of my fav songs By Daughters

[kind blaze]

id need some cool drums on this track. if anyone is down

[atomic ledge]

This isnt mixed/produced yet, but a demo for an upcoming EP that Im writing. This is just recorded with a little bit of editing. Lemme know what y'all think!

mix from scratch, does it sound ok?

[wicked berry]

subby part of bass may be a tiny bit too loud

[cerulean storm]

I have a sideproject from my metal music as atmospheric ambient. Here's the intro track for the album. Only 4 songs left to compose.

[kindred scaffold]

This is not metal but what do y'all think?

[crisp pendant]

alot of doom eternal's soundtrack actually doesnt have guitars, so i wanted to try doing that :>

[river jacinth]

Dont have all the vocals in but got some brees

[weary isle]

[tribal orbit]

me when mix finally feels mostly right

[fringe geode]

@tribal orbit @mortal dock @wicked berry

[wicked berry]

drums are real nice

sick track overall though

[wicked berry]

reminds me of that one rekak song

[finite coral]

what library is this

[fringe geode]

For what the drums?

[finite coral]

yeh

[fringe geode]

This is EZDrummer 3.

I mixed it.

[finite coral]

base library?

oh damn

souds good

[fringe geode]

Yes siiirrrr. The only thing outside of base is the snare which is from EZD2's base library.

Which got for free cuz I owned EZD2 beforehand.

[finite coral]

i use ezx metal but on superior drummer 3 and custom snare

[fringe geode]

Niceeee. I used to use GGD but I dislike Kontakt and had barely any freedom to switch up the drums cuz I used the OKWs.

And since I already had EZD2. It was natural to just upgrade and I've been using it since.

[fringe geode]

Rekak?

[finite coral]

eh? eh.

[finite coral]

Are the chorus leads too cluttered

[kind blaze]

new intro

[cerulean storm]

I've been working on this one for so long now. I don't really like the cleans though. For some reason, I just can't get them to cut through the mix.

[lucid carbon]

https://open.spotify.com/album/1x8otcFzPVgidwKKX01ji1?si=tiuCoQkuQdWwVFySyN8fjQ Yeah maybe this one is the right channel, but anyways we released our fist EP and I thought someone might be interested. More than happy to hear feedback from anyone. (The quality is what it is, but we rushed it with a low budget so...)

[round saffron]

frytki mentioned

[mortal dock]

If you haven't done this already, give this a try:

Take your vocals and make a side chain to the signal of the guitars, then use an EQ that has the option of SC on both tracks and send the signal of the vocals to the guitar bus, so that the guitar EQ reads the spectrum of the vocals and auto cuts all of those frequencies on the guitars the moments when the vocals and the guitars are playing together, you can then just adjust the amount of reduction DBs so that it sits just right in a spot where it doesn't scuff out the guitars but the vocals cut cleanly right through them

Btw, this track is awesome!

[mortal dock]

Oooh this one's a fun one!

Got one for ya! @kind blaze @versed remnant @runic adder

Forgot to add @tribal orbit, @cerulean storm and @shut igloo xd

[cerulean storm]

Thank you! I'm not quite sure what side chain and SC is really. Can you explain it?

[mortal dock]

Essentially, side chain is the action of sending signal from one audio track to another

So that say you have a compressor for example in one track

Say you want a specific sound to be reduced but only when another sound that's more important is playing for like a couple of seconds

You can rig it so that it receives the "information" of that different track, and each time that other track plays at the same time, it will auto duck the volume of the other

In this case, you can do that with EQ

It's different from just doing normal EQ, because essentially it means your guitars will sound the same, just that everytime the vocals play, it will take the frequencies the vocals have, and use those to cut the guitars down only in those frequencies, so that it fucks a bit of those ranges and lets the vocals cut through without changing the whole guitar tone or having to lower the volume of the whole instrumentals

And it will only happen when the vocals are playing at the same time on top of the guitar, so it will return them to normal in the seconds they aren't

SC is the same word as Side Chain, just abbreviated

[cerulean storm]

Huh, I think I understand. Is there videos on this technique I can watch and should I do the same thing for the harsh vocals? @mortal dock

[kind blaze]

Sick asf

[mortal dock]

https://youtube.com/shorts/KSA19gsgwUg?si=iF8tszijDLt73Fsh

There's a couple ways to do it and it depends on ur daw and the EQ you're using but essentially

[cerulean storm]

Thank you!

[mortal dock]

https://youtube.com/shorts/lndhZzYc9co?si=t6kI-elMWSjIdsz4

There is also this other way which is more advanced so it takes the entire signal and uses that to cut, so most just use this plugin instead

[mortal dock]

It's a good practice in general I'd say, yeah. Just don't dip too much or ur guitars will suffer

[kind blaze]

@mortal dock

Can I DM you?

[mortal dock]

Sure! But if it's about a feature or a Collab I'm kinda oversaturated enough as is xd so I can't do those rn

[kind blaze]

Haha I'm not enough to get you featured

I actually wanted to do this tbdm one, just that everyone was like "nuuuuu Saosin is literally made for uuuu do itttttt"

So here I am lmao

[runic adder]

Real lol

[mortal dock]

awesome tone

[runic adder]

Thanks 🙏🏽

Not used to doing a song that’s fully highs lol, my voice was sore a little afterwards

[mortal dock]

They're not too high so I think it suites your range nicely. They have that very slight BM feel that's always fun to hear. And obviously your lows are beefy and powerful

[runic adder]

Hell yeah

[cerulean storm]

Sounds really good, man!

[versed remnant]

but the ideas there

i decided i must minecraft parody this is pre mix pre eq pre like anything post and pre bass so

[cerulean storm]

I did try what you said both on my bass/drumkick and vocals/guitars. I think it sounds better. @mortal dock

[shut igloo]

@round saffron love your cleans fam

[mortal dock]

How's em scremz tho

[mortal dock]

Ye that helps them a lot!

[tribal orbit]

The bass is a little quiet, and the symbols could be eqd a bit better. The vocals sound cool. Very Sleeping with Sirens on the cleans

I like

[round saffron]

Wait wha

[mortal dock]

Dunno, think he pinged you to also take a look at it maybe(?

[round saffron]

everything midi cuz i still can't play guitar that fast but I'd like to hear what do you think about the song structure and orchestration

[craggy plover]

[craggy plover]

I love these harmonies

[shut igloo]

Gonna give it a go when I reach back home

My phone's very busted

[mortal dock]

I like using it for practice often, did I get it?

[open canyon]

metalcore

[hollow tulip]

oh man i needed that Fleshgod Apocalypse symphonic tech death fix today

i like the pipe organ + orchestra break at 0:35

i'm not qualified to give feedback on orchestration since i haven't done any orchestral projects yet, but what i'll say is that it sounds epic
I do think the drums should be a bit louder though

but i'm not sure how I'd continue the song after that breakdown

update
extended a bit
changed the snare tone to be a bit more 2000s ish(?) (i'm using Killswitch Engage's "Alive or Just Breathing" album as reference)

[hollow tulip]

2000s metalcore. instant yes

[kind blaze]

[kind blaze]

trying to do indie

[kind blaze]

This one

I'm not quite sure about the genre yet, but I'm leaning towards Post Black

[proven gust]

I would slightky tone down the music and let your vocals shine, you have a nice voice let it shine

[kind blaze]

Thank you
I'll try it in new tracks, I'm currently experimenting with the sound, this genre is new to me

[real harness]

A modern metal-ish (not really tho) rock song I wrote recently. I'm still kinda new in mixing and overall conscious songwriting, but everything here was done by me (aside from some help with filming), so I still would appreciate any feedback
https://youtu.be/eVQa_-0IuSk?si=2vsH1_fcUQAVMf7n

[proven gust]

I will fully admit not my genre and not my expretise,but for the genre it is supposed to be I liked it\

I will do a plug here as well, I recently started my nintedocore journey so I will love any kind of feedback https://soundcloud.com/eyestorender/sets/analog

[kind blaze]

I don't really know much about this genre but it sounds pretty Nintendo like haha

[proven gust]

Nice it sounds great ihmo, very melancholic in my opinion but I will definitely blast it sometimes when the mood is right

[proven gust]

If you like the sound I would love to make some recommendations to some artists way more talented than I am

[kind blaze]

Oh, I'm not sure this is music for me
But can you recommend something

[proven gust]

To be honest I absolutely adore ARottenBit (https://arottenbit2029.bandcamp.com/album/you-dont-know-what-chiptune-is) his set on brutal assualt was so good

he did a cover for raining blood by slayer

other stuff I would say that Horse the band(tho a slightly different genre) are awesome, also I really like kenobit mainly this one https://kenobit.bandcamp.com/track/fischia-il-vento

[real harness]

Damn, thank you so much. It means a lot to me

[proven gust]

If you do any future releases send them to me, tbh I will probaly not notice them here but it sounds like something I would like to hear from time to time

[real harness]

Yeah, sure, ofc I will, thx

[proven gust]

If you will eventually set up a bandcamp or something similar let me know

[real harness]

Oh, yeah, I think I should

But I will send it to you, when I do

[proven gust]

I personally am waiting to finish my logo and concept art to do so, but yeah I don't mind droppinga few dollars to support a music I like

[proven gust]

If you would like to listen to just 1 song I would say that my best work is probably the last song called "Break neck snek"

[shut igloo]

Id listen to this

Genuinely

In the morning when m going to sleep

This is more shoegazy than indie

[shut igloo]

Love the Atmos/ambient intro shit makes it go so hard

Final mix as of now with bass, tell me if any changes need to be done

@tribal orbit @mortal dock @kind blaze @kind blaze

@round saffron @runic adder

And tbvh I am more interested in reviews bout the breakdown since that's smth experimental

Which "i" haven't heard in metalcore

The slower part of it, yes but the not so fast part never

[kind blaze]

Is there anyone who does jazz? I would like to make a jazz intro for a post black metal track

my buddies and I dropped our single 🤘🏽

[versed remnant]

i need thoughts on this riff

[fringe geode]

Written and recorded in 2021, rerecorded in 2022, remixed in 2024, remixed again today.

To me it feels like something's missing mix wise...other than vocals I know that lol.

I remember when I wrote this, it was my first attempt to make a "djent" type of song.

[versed remnant]

hows this sounding?

[shut igloo]

@round saffron yo bro can u master this xD

[round saffron]

Yes I can

after the premiere on my yt

[shut igloo]

yo

send

me

too

[round saffron]

dms

[fringe geode]

@wicked berry @tribal orbit

[shut igloo]

HARD!

[tribal orbit]

It’s very scooped. Like it’s missing the mids a lot. And that hard panned hihat is super distracting

Also very quiet

[fringe geode]

Compared to my normal stuff it makes sense you'd find it scooped. I'm using the Soldano instead of the Mesa meaning a lot of the low and mid mids have been moved to the upper mids.

Also yeah the cymbals in this one are the bane of my existence.

[tribal orbit]

Try panning it more to like 75 left instead of hard left. Lower the volume and cut a little of the high end around 8k(?)

[fringe geode]

I'll do that. One of my very few gripes about EZD3 is that when you switch cymbals between libraries it messes with shit. So if I used a the default EZD3 library I wouldn't have that problem. But the cymbals this time are from the default EZD2 library because they aren't as splashy (well at least the Sabians aren't. The Paiste ones still are which is most what EZD3 uses) and are well defined.

[tribal orbit]

How odd

You could try making a separate track just for the cymbal midi and work on that there?

Me when I use Ugritone as placeholder

Also, speaking on mixes, I feel like the subbass (up to like 80 hz) is causing some boominess to this mix

[fringe geode]

Nah it's not that. I have full control of the panning on EZD3 thankfully which is one of the big reasons I switched from thr GGD OKWs where I didn't have that control. I just couldn't tell how far off I was.

[tribal orbit]

Also the cleans feel a bit isolated but maybe I’m insane

[tribal orbit]

Ab okay gotcha

So should be an easy fix maybe?

[fringe geode]

Hopefully yeah. My normal process is to just use the Paiste's cuz they arent as harsh as the Sabians but are splashy so they take up more space. Just need to hard pan em a bit to isolate them better.

[tribal orbit]

Maybe try to blend them a bit better with the rest of the mix cuz they are very loud

[fringe geode]

I'm gonna lower the level on da cymbals.

Also something else I noticed with EZD3. The EZD2 cymbals are loud af compared to the ones from 3.

[fringe geode]

I hear the subbass boominess but it's not egregious. I'd say lower it half a DB.

[tribal orbit]

Thanks, I knew something was off

And the vocals?

[fringe geode]

If anything, mb compress it if you still hear it.

That's what I'd do.

[fringe geode]

The vocals I wouldn't touch. They sound great.

[tribal orbit]

Ambience guitars and sampled sound of distorted microphone catching sound

Then I found the note that had this sound and made the transition

Feedback on this verse/intro riff? It says slam but I'm not going for a slam riff

[fringe geode]

@tribal orbit Better?

I found some paiste cymbals that worked that weren't too harsh or aggressive but gave me enough splash to be satisfied and enough definition to be noticeable. I also pulled them down quite a bit and didn't make them as panned. Same with the hi hat. I feel I may have pulled the crashes down a little too much. I will admit it's hard to mix something like this.

[livid dragon]

You say Slam, I say Post-Hardcore xD
I like it. I would try more variation in the riff. Maybe an ABAC structure? ^^
At this moment you have the first "part" that repeats in a total of 4 times an 2 different tails. I would go for more note or rythm variations, when you know what I mean. But bro that riff is nice! ^-^

[fringe geode]

Def a post-hardcore. It's almost like modern Eidola but a bit slower.

[gritty goblet]

I'm trying to get a spiritboxy feel with my own style to it

And yes, I just named it slam because I started riffing slam stuff but ended up with that

[gritty goblet]

Not sure with note variations

[livid dragon]

Hey guys, I want your feedback. My band just released their first Spotify single. Is that stuff you would listen to? And what do you like on it or what would you do different? (Sorry for my english btw). Hope you all understand what I mean. ^-^

[gritty goblet]

Intro sounds awesome

and that name 🤣

I'll definitely save that one

[livid dragon]

Thank you! ^^ And yes, we dont take ourselfs so seriously xDDD

[gritty goblet]

Its a lil too extreme vocals for me to be my go to style

But very slightly

Do you have any suggestions on making breaks in between sections

Like what you have around 1:34

I feel like proper connection between sections is my biggest weakness atm

The verse and choruses sound nice on their own, but when I just use verse chorus verse chorus chorus the song always lacks in length and connection

[gritty goblet]

really good btw

[livid dragon]

Just a simple: Take that same rythm and try some other notes from your scale that you are writing in. Or just some Random notes that sounds nice, or good to you :D

[gritty goblet]

This is an instrumental I had ready for lyrics

But after letting it a moment and listening back it doesn't flow well

[livid dragon]

With "Cockbuster" and the Part around 1:34 as an example. Thats just the Guitar Riff played by synths and some more bass synth, when my knowlegde is right xDD

[fringe geode]

Damn bruh beats be BUMPIN

[livid dragon]

My suggention is, just play with riff varriations or play the exact same on other instruments (like synths or violins) and layer it with a different bassline or something. For example: try something that sounds similar to your original idea aaaaand the most important thing is, dont overthink, just go forward :D

[livid dragon]

Thank youuu ^-^

[livid dragon]

Thank youuu ^^

[fringe geode]

Reminds me a bit of a Electric Callboy.

[livid dragon]

Yes, Electric Callboy is an inspiration for this project and some other crazy german Bands like "We Butter The Bread With Butter" or "The Butcher Sisters" :D

[fringe geode]

KIllin it man!

[livid dragon]

Bro you can definitely work with that, that is nice! :D Aaaaand I like the weird synth pad pre-breakdown ^-^

[gritty goblet]

Tyyy

I really like that part

I might change it to more synthwave

[livid dragon]

YESSS do that, that sounds awsome ^^

You can try some synth layer over the riffs for example :D

Maybe some (synth) arp stuff?

[gritty goblet]

I tried but I don't have a synth preset I like yet

I make all synths myself in Vital

But do you have any recommendations for the arrangement?

And flow of the track

[livid dragon]

You choosed a Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Pre Breakdown, Breakdown structure right? Its totally fine :D
I mean you can put another chorus after the breakdown when you like, but you don't have to ^^

[livid dragon]

The flow is fine in my opinion, but don't trust my opinion too much, it's midnight over here in germany and I'm tired af xD

[gritty goblet]

I'm in France so samesies

Ty for the feedback

Maaybe just the chorus to pre-breakdown is too sudden

[livid dragon]

Hahahahaha xDDD

[livid dragon]

No Problem!

[livid dragon]

yeah that could be a point, maybe you try a guitar fade out?

[gritty goblet]

Yesss ty

[livid dragon]

And sorry I'm too tired for more precise Feedback xD

[gritty goblet]

@livid dragon flows a loooot better now

plus added some production changes

[livid dragon]

I accepted your friend request. Send me the new version via DM, so I don't forget to listen to it xD
I'm busy right now, but I'll listen to it as soon I'm available ^-^

[livid dragon]

I'm excited ^-^👀

New song intro idea
Pretty raw so far
This will be the 3rd track of the trilogy, the second one is already ready

Here it is

Here are my vocals, but the version on Spotify will be different, the vocalist just hasn't recorded his parts yet

1 track of the trilogy was atmospheric black, 2 more death metal and 3 will be symphonic deathcore

[twilit sapphire]

mate

it's a feedback channel not an advertising channel

[crisp pendant]

well, the guitars arent amplified (or distorted? idr what the right term would be) nearly enough. the bass seems to have some mid-range frequencies that are causing the entire mix to sound muffled, (i would scoop out the mids of the bass). the drums are pretty bland, and make me personally lose interest in the song really quickly, i think it would be beneficial to use more aspects of the drums, more hi hats, more rides, etc. The part at 1:31 needs a transition. and lastly the vocals are way too quiet. overall, i hear the idea, and i think it could be cool, but it needs a lot of work.

[scarlet brook]

something kinda gnarly i made the other day, any thoughts?

[lapis ember]

how do i make this sound semi decent/like i used my good mic

the obzen one is the good mic

and i will admit that i wasnt as locked in either but im talking about the bad quality

only effect on both of these is compression

same settings

Hey All, I need some advice on this tone, i'm going for 2000's deathcore just mean tone and I can't really figure it out, so I just wanted advice on some tweaks i could make t
o this chain

theres the audio i grabbed the wrong one

[wicked berry]

ngl, I don't think it's that complicated. you've got it down pretty much, just remember back then they didn't care a wholeeee lot about tone and that their tones weren't perfect. yours pretty much hits the spot for most 2000s deathcore songs imo.

but mayyyybeee you could make the gate a bit tighter. that's your call tho.

[versed remnant]

was thinking about this\

[versed remnant]

okok thank you kind sir

[wicked berry]

no problemo🫡

[kind blaze]

not really good, a project with paradise.

[kind blaze]

idk what the fuck my vocal chords have done lol

[finite coral]

i dont like guitar takes + only intonated my guitar properly AFTER recording all of these 😭

my thinnest string was the WORst, its as loose as it can get now and its still not enough, not exactly perfectly intonated and i cant go any further

all the other strings are fine now though

[shut igloo]

hey guys can someone suggest some good precussion samples to make smth electronic like sleep token does

i think

[shut igloo]

like smth in caramel or fields of elation

anyone?

[floral swallow]

Literally any sample pack for trap, electronic music bro

Its not that deep

Just search "Trap sample pack free reddit" or some shit like that and you will be good

If you have money to pay, i recommend you packs from "oversampled"

They have high quality sounds mainly for electronic music like dubstep or techno

Or any other genre tbh

[finite coral]

idk why it recorded the audio so low quality

should be better now

[shut igloo]

Aight thenks

Also I had a prob in my daw

It is crackling a lot andmy amp sims aren't working properly

His never happened before

*this

[finite coral]

why dont you record on a seperate channel and just move the recorded guitar tracks later to the channel

thats what i do

but i just double track left and right rythm instead

check if it crackles when you record something in a different channel and then move it to that crackly insert

[floral swallow]

Idk the quality but this shit slaps bro

[finite coral]

yea uh

[finite coral]

itw as even worse when i sent it the first time, its a reupload lol

[floral swallow]

It sounds like something tobyfox would write for some random goofy character

[finite coral]

idk when i should have a kick with a snare at the same time and when just snare

[shut igloo]

For example I record left pan on left pan channel then record right pan guitar on left chanel then put that right guitar audio clip on right channel

If that made sense?

[finite coral]

i just record one mono track

and i pan it later

[shut igloo]

Lemme try that shit

[finite coral]

idk thats how ive been doing it ever since i started making music and it works so

[finite coral]

o yea idk if cymbals are at a good volume here, idk if theyre too quiet

How gracious, my smiling friend

[runic adder]

want feedback on writing or mix? listening now

[shut igloo]

how bout both

if ure free

mostly writting for now

and would this track sound hypothetically better in smth like drop A instead of C

[runic adder]

it works in C

I think it sounds good

think the ending breakdown could use some ambient piece maybe

[shut igloo]

any need for improvement in any particular section?

[shut igloo]

okay

[runic adder]

but also leaving it empty draws attention (how i remembered it)

hmm

give it ambience and see how you feel abt it id say

[shut igloo]

i think there is ambience in it

the clean guitars are throiught the song

and a synth atmos asw

should i add blast beat section in double kick section of breakdown xD

[runic adder]

could use some bass ngl

[shut igloo]

no shit sherlock 😆

ill record the bazz tomm

my fingers are tired

and my head is not working

[runic adder]

maybe not, not sure itd work

@mortal dock @tribal orbit

[mortal dock]

Well I'm not a mixer. I can't give much feedback on mixing

Writing wise it's kinda repetitive like modern metalcore tends to be

That's all I can really think of rn kinda half asleep xd

[finite coral]

snare kinda weak i think? everything else sounds good to me

[finite coral]

my bassist

hes a little shy

[shut igloo]

Elaborate

Weak as in?

And how to fix dat

[finite coral]

maybe im trippin idk it kinda sounds raw?

maybe i change my mind when i hear it with bass idk

or maybe no master on the track

i think its preference but the kicks are too loud compared ot the snare or the other way around, the snare is too quiet

is this recorded drums or vst?

[finite coral]

😨

[finite coral]

made the lead guitars louder a bit

[shut igloo]

I also think the kicks are too loud

[fringe geode]

Mixing bass is a pain in the ass! But damn it sounds great if done right.

I originally used Parallax cuz laziness. But I switched it to Darkglass Ultra for shits nd giggles. What you guys think? I must say I like the sound of an actual pre-amp pedal/amp more than modern wizardry that Parallax does.

@finite coral

[tribal orbit]

I’ll check everything out sometime soon tn

[shut igloo]

which one is better

drop g# or drop c
drop c being the normal one

[floral swallow]

How do you do this type of things actually?

[shut igloo]

like how i make the music?

[floral swallow]

I tried couple of times making thall/djent thing but it always sounded like shit

[cerulean storm]

I really like the feeling of it. I must say, I do find the second one a bit more intriguing.

[shut igloo]

the drop g# one or drop c?

[cerulean storm]

Drop C I assume.

[shut igloo]

well i start with getting drunk
and then passing out and then while m passed out i get a melody or smth like that in my head
and basicaly i produce the whole song till i wake up
then i open my daw and also record the whole 4 min in a voicenote on phone so that i dont forget the structure
i open daw sit down and start recording

[shut igloo]

yea the one without tuning mentioned in the name is drop c

[shut igloo]

but fr speaking i usually get all my ideas when m sleeping

remove the drunk part and thats my usual

[cerulean storm]

Cool

For me it's very random

(Sent the wrong version before) I think I have the instrumentals down. Just gotta do the vocals next.

[versed remnant]

thoughts on the mix?

I think i need to turn the bass down

[mortal dock]

Drop C sounds more interesting

[versed remnant]

Also ignore my shitty sweep i don’t have a seven string and my fretboard doesn’t have enough frets for the parts i need to play

I would use my jackson but i’m missing a string

[cerulean storm]

Ooo, has some really nice slam/deathcore vibes!

It's Chelsea Grin, right?

[versed remnant]

yesyes

[shut igloo]

Just realised the bass on the second verse is a bit delayed due to lag plus I need feedback on bass vol

Is it okay? Or is it too much in both of em or any one of em

[wicked berry]

hell yeah, so so fun

[runic adder]

like em both ngl but holy bass

[hazy tundra]

The bass and low end are a little on the loud side. I was about to comment on the timing of the bass and guitars, but you realized it so all is good.

[runic adder]

i'd say stick with drop C

fw the bass tone heavy tho

currently still struggling with mine

[shut igloo]

Id thank @tribal orbit for that

He suggested me to use mammoth

[hazy tundra]

mammoth is great

[runic adder]

waoh like tyhe whitechappel roan song mammoth god?

holy smonkes

[shut igloo]

My chain is 1st parallax and a preset innit called grit going to mammoth and a custom preset in mammoth, i could share the settings

[fringe geode]

Damn sir that bass.

[runic adder]

ah, recently i've been more of a split processing bass guy

still using parallax tho love that plugin

[shut igloo]

Wut is split processing

[runic adder]

split bass into sub and grit channels and do em separately

hold on I can show you

[shut igloo]

Sure

[shut igloo]

I think the overall timing is alr just towards the 2nd verse it's a bit fucked

[hazy tundra]

If you want one with free plugins, you split your bass into 2 tracks. One you do this

[shut igloo]

And i also use ibanez 5 string soundgear bass with bridge pickup on max and I think 5-10% bass boost on the Equalizer on the bass

[runic adder]

bass split into two separately processed channels

[hazy tundra]

the other one you compress as all hell and apply a lowpass at like 150hz

OR
You make a replica of the bass track with only sinewaves

[runic adder]

appreciate it 🙏🏽

[shut igloo]

So u record the bass twice

[runic adder]

nope, one take routed into two tracks

[shut igloo]

Ohhh

[runic adder]

DI is the track I recorded in, grit I have everything above like 300 i think and sub is everything below

[shut igloo]

I see

[runic adder]

I have heard of that method being used

[shut igloo]

Basically put the same audio clip in 2 channels

[runic adder]

yup

[shut igloo]

I've done that

[shut igloo]

Okay your bass and also layer it with 808

It kinda works like magic

Sounds good in stuff that needs higher production shits

Won't sound good on slam and raw metal stuff

[hazy tundra]

It also sounds good in rawer metal stuff, but it needs to be done correctly

[runic adder]

feh who needs dynamics amirite

[hazy tundra]

[runic adder]

hold on ill send the mix here once it's done rendering lol

[versed remnant]

Turned down the bass a little, added a temporary vocal mix too

[runic adder]

7:55 was not the intended runtime I forgot to select the actual song part oops

[hazy tundra]

The bass deserves to be WAY louder in this one

[runic adder]

yeah you can turn the bass up

[versed remnant]

I had it wayyy too loud in the first version i think

I’ll crank it a little

[runic adder]

I think it's fine here, maybe like 1db down

[versed remnant]

Okok, any thoughts on the vocal mix?

[runic adder]

im ngl i suck ass at mixing vocals but i'll take a listen

[versed remnant]

Okkk

[runic adder]

sounds fine i think

[runic adder]

the dynamic mix in question:

[hazy tundra]

little example

[runic adder]

i see

might try it, might decide I'm too lazy lol

sounds good though

[hazy tundra]

These tracks are also sidechained from the kick low end and sub, so in the full mix, whenever there is a kick hit, the low end of the whole bass group (the "all" bass tack I sent) gets attenuated proportionally to the loudness of the kick, so they don't fight for the low end and the kick pops out more

[runic adder]

hm

I think something's up because whenever I try to sidechain the bass does not move at all lmao

might have a mix somewhere without 300mph kicks I can try

[versed remnant]

Final Mix or more adjustments?

I changed the cab on the sweep guitar

[wicked berry]

the goat

mammoth goes crazy

[versed remnant]

i think I'm happy with this. Thoughts? @tribal orbit

[tribal orbit]

sounds pretty meaty. I think the vocals could be fitted a bit better, along with the drums

but its neat

[versed remnant]

how can i set them in a bit more? also is meaty good here in this sense

[shut igloo]

There's a drop c ver too

If u like that

[tribal orbit]

the uhh

the tuning is sick

though the bass tone is really distorted and sticks out a bit too much in the mix

The structure and like the overall composition is kewl

[shut igloo]

hey guys hows my mix

(im very entertaining to myself)

in a stage of remixing an old mix for the 30 billionth time, any feedback for this though?

[wicked berry]

not much feedback my mixes suck but

it sounds sick

i do like the mix its not bad at all

anyway heres some darko with a minecrraft anvil sound

[lapis ember]

I'd raise the guitars a bit

Mine are bad too

[kind trail]

Played around with the new GGD kit

Haven't written something this straightforward heavy in a hot minute

[kind trail]

This going to go crazy in the pit when you add the bass fs

[gritty goblet]

how can I make these guitars sound better in the mix?

I have it on gojira X, guitars are in Drop B

I want them to be a bit more clear/sound the nuances

[finite coral]

can you send isolated guitar?

[gritty goblet]

It's quad layered, those or just one of them or two

[finite coral]

if its the same tones for all of them just one will work

u can dm if u dont wanna send it here

[gritty goblet]

I'll send in a bit, eating rn

[finite coral]

okie

[wicked berry]

I'd drop a tiny bit of the mids, not too much but I find that makes things clearer

mess around with different IRs

what's on the chain?

is it just gojira?

[finite coral]

guys how do you deal with sidechain with blast beat kicks?

getting so much distortion lol it sounds bad

even with a really subtle sidechain

[finite coral]

guess ill just disable it for the blast beat parts or use a seperate sidechain trigger instead of the kick itself

Hello people of the server. This song doesn't have vocals yet but I just wanted to have some opinions on it. Btw I'm just a solo musician, i do all this myself so yeah lol

[twilit sapphire]

sounds good

drums could be louder i guess

slam i made

[cerulean storm]

I don't really know what to do with the vocals, I just seem to never get them to fit with the mix. Guess I gotta head back to YouTube. I'll be happy for any advice!

[cerulean storm]

Filthy, love it!

https://soundcloud.com/wintermintp/kumi9z-synthv-remove-the-defender-10-pick-parlay-10-string-guitar-original I'm genuinely having trouble keeping the guitars cutting through while making the bass audible. The bass tone has quite the low end but I can't figure out how to make it bitier.

This was the song that we put together last minute just for the BOTB by the way. Still bitter about it.

I've got a whole album's worth of recorded demos. How should I go about putting them up on music platforms (excluding Distrokid)?

[sturdy inlet]

Tons of options. Tunecore is what i use

Search up distributors like distrokid and tunecore and other comparisons and find the best one for you

How can I make this metal

[lapis ember]

Disturbed core

Wooo

[real harness]

So, here's my take on new metal and heavier side of rock/metal I have releasing this Monday:
https://youtu.be/UzC1nHPKu_E?si=SboyyabWBgy12Xcw

[muted breach]

this has way too much compression in general which makes it sound really "pumpy"

usually i route all the instruments to a bus and compress them seperately from vocals

idk if u are doing that here but its just a lot of compression on the master bus i feel

as for the vocals they just need a lot of compression and some delay and maybe reverb

the kick drum seems to compress the track a whole bunch too which is really noticable especially in the double kick sections, i usually hipass filter the instrument bus compression so the kick doesnt absolutely blast the mix

"too heavy don't drop this on your toes"

[cerulean storm]

I don't really know what that means. I don't have a compressor on the master track. Every instrument I have is routed separately.

[cerulean storm]

Okay, how do I fix this?

[muted breach]

it might just be that the kick drum is too loud then maybe?

does the drum bus have compression on it

because it could just be that its squashing the cymbals which makes it sound like that

but ease up on the compression i think

[muted breach]

do you have a limiter on the master track? that would cause basically the same thing

[cerulean storm]

I do. Just to make the entire thing louder.

[muted breach]

how much gain reduction is it doing

[cerulean storm]

I pucked around with it and it seems like the bass drum was indeed WAY to compressed

[cerulean storm]

-3

[muted breach]

alr thats not too bad

[muted breach]

but from the track it does sorta sound like the bass drum is dipping the whole song

[cerulean storm]

Yes
