this has some slappin grooves! there's story, contrast, action-reaction, some expectations satisfied but other expectations defied.

I think know the effect that you're trying to get building up to 2:05. It doesn't quite work yet. Maybe I can use a picture to explain:

#

I want to hear your thoughts about that part of the tune before I make any specific suggestions

solemn moth
#

To me it feels a little off but idk how

#

but i'll try what you showed above

weak hamlet
#

This is max crunch lmao

#

Idk if it's intentional I like that ultra-distorted laughter at 0:32, but maybe that can be turned down a bit?

#

Also u don't have to clip the whole song to maximum, some contrast would be nicer

#

great track

solemn moth
#

i didn't max it out on purpose some of the presets are louder than they should be and the kicks clip some of the sounds

weak hamlet
#

maybe try to make multiple instances of the kick and adjust them

solemn moth
#

I'll try that tomorrow

thank you

fallow cove
#

omg is that "dick control" sample

solemn moth
#

no its beat control

fallow cove
#

either way

#

tight corner transition: hard to pull off, but that worked really well

#

and then the next one starting around 2:10, nice foreshadowing with the kick winding up........

solemn moth
#

thank you

fallow cove
#

the laughing girls and music box creep me out at the end but somehow make perfect sense at the same time

#

the track definitely leaves a lot of dangling questions

could be a very strong track #3 or 4 in an album

solemn moth
#

this is actually my first full complete song

#

so to hear it could fit in an album is nice to hear

fallow cove
#

that's hard to believe; do you have some other music background?

solemn moth
#

none

fallow cove
#

You changed a ton of stuff from 3 days ago

Like, there were things I didn't even recognize that weren't quite right with the mix but all off a sudden it's great

solemn moth
#

I spent a while tweaking everything

fallow cove
#

and I understated that. the 12/18 post was very rough around the edges. composition was good but...

...mix wise, it was fucked up, tbh

...I gotta admit, this feels like a trick or a stunt or something. there's no way you made that amount of change in 3 days and it's your first track

#

I keep going back and forth listening to the tracks, wondering if I'm imaginging things

#

@weak hamlet am I out of my mind?

solemn moth
#

i did the first version in two days

#

then the rest was done in 3hrs

junior mountainBOT
weak hamlet
#

mixing always can be improved with time and effort (usually

#

no worry on that

solemn moth
#

i know some stuff is still off but i can fix that later

weak hamlet
#

ie the really loud vocal shout, and the overloud crash(maybe not that loud, but since a crash is just a bunch of high frequencies

junior mountainBOT
weak hamlet
#

yeah the crash is still too loud to me, or at least the harsh frequency can be tamed

#

other than that idk what's not good abuot this track

fallow cove
#

I just max'd the volume.

this is out of balance for an actual club mix, but for normal listening, it's tight

the kick has a resonant spike in the low mids that's pretty harsh relative to the rest

solemn moth
#

i can fix that

fallow cove
#

and then in the second half the resonant spike is in the treble somewhere, but still very pointy

#

once the distortion takes over it's fine

#

3:13ish outburst is something extra

#

you win the internet for 2022 with that

#

I don't know what the fuck you're doing but keep doing it

solemn moth
#

started a hobby and stuck with it

fallow cove
solemn moth
#

i will

fallow cove
#

thanks also for keeping the internet 311perfectscore

(that's a triple entrdre, and if anyone gets all 3 references they might beat you for the internet award of the year)

# solemn moth i fixed clipping problems

to A/B compare these I've put them both in Reaper and slapped the phase invert button. it sounds like your changes primarily changed the kick, and I like the reduction in clipping (even though clipping and noise are really popular on this particular forum)

#

sounds great!

solemn moth
#

i tried to cut out the frequencies in the kick the were messing with stuff

fallow cove
#

it's good. did you do any of the sound design, perchance?

solemn moth
fallow cove
#

hi paper

fuck off

solemn moth
fallow cove
#

I might be mistaken srry

#

@solemn moth

sound design: making the sounds of instruments yourself. like you want the kick or the bass or the snare or the chords or the lead synth to sound a certain way

solemn moth
#

then only the gabber kicks and some of the leads are mine

#

I use a lot of presets

fallow cove
#

that's legit

#

I don't know what i don't know

I think your music is very original compared to what I've heard among new/aspiring producers (which I am as well), so I am curious: what are some tracks and artists that you like?

solemn moth
#

Camellia(that's obvious)
Sickmode
Dr.Peacock
Rooler
Dj technorch
Laur
Kobaryo
And Usao

#

they inspired me

fallow cove
#

Awesome, thanks! I have a lot to learn in this zone yet and am trying to catch up on how EDM transformed from 4-to-the-floor one-chord techno to the amazing stuff that's happening today

solemn moth
#

neat

🤬

#

you don't know these words without knowing what "sound design" means

I don't care who you are but stop wasting my time

#

maybe I'm the idion

#

what did i do to give off the impression i'm trolling

fallow cove
#

I unintentionally upset a potential friend today and feel bad about it

#

so I don't want to go off the rails

#

stuff just smells really off to me, so I'll bow out of the discussion. best of luck with everything

solemn moth
#

that's fine

fallow cove
#

lots of smart people here but when it comes to music. but music is about the feels

so much of music says nothing; it's just saying something that's been said 100000 times before

I like your track, and the fact that I got kind of disoriented and pissed off is good evidence you expressed something meaningful.

solemn moth

thanks
