Yea idk, another thing i like, but im stuck

[night stump]

Need critique pleaaase
Anything.. any Tips on where to improve or what I should focus on or whatever would be helpful. I know I got lots of room for improvement but I feel like I'm stagnating and I cant wrap my head arround where to go with it.

Im using Serum presets mainly and edit those.. and some edited Samples (for sake of ease), like for the snares.

Is it too loud? How is the mixing? Should I Pan stuff more or is it fine? Should I cut the bassline more to have more Variation? Should I use more different basslines and switch them here and there, instead of the few I stacked?

Melody is obviously just a placeholder until something better strikes my mind.

Maybe you can introduce your main melody with some effects and drums.
Also, in order to soften the "oppressive" aspect, you can add more effects to make the music "breath" (something like white noise with low pass... ?).
Nice atmosphere !

I guess you mean the intro? a nice buildup - yeaa i get that - will work on that for now!

Mmm that kick is definitely clashing with the bass

Bass also has a pretty big stereo field

Bring out that snare too

[night stump]

Clashing in sense of not enough space, or rather like they dont fit?

[pulsar vigil]

Clashing in the frequency sense

[night stump]

i see! thanks

[pulsar vigil]

Usually sidechaining fixes that

[night stump]

I like having it wide and boomy, but it might be too much - ill try and fix that!

[pulsar vigil]

Wide bass still needs a centralized sub to make it angry ;)

Overall though, if you could make this track a lot heavier this would go so incredibly hard

[night stump]

How should i make this happen? just clone the sub and make one wide and the other like mono?

[night stump]

i suck at that lol always getting confused what to link with what

Its like limiter on the bassline and link it to the kick?

[night stump]

to clarify, atm its a sub only and a bassline where i cut the low end

[pulsar vigil]

Honestly it'd be a better idea to have a simple mono sub layer, then do any stereo bass stuff with another layer an octave up

Oh yeah like that lol

[pulsar vigil]

Yes

[night stump]

Alright! Ive seen a tut some time ago where he made a seperate mixer track and put the limiter there but i dont get how i should connect those to work like intended - ill fiddle arround with it

thanks so far!

[pulsar vigil]

Likely creating a sidechain send so you can apply it to multiple elements at once, which is optional

[night stump]

All that sounds like chinese to me xD But i guess i get what you mean.. that way you could make the snyths/leads dodge the bass/kick too i guess
