worked a whole month on the drop

[wanton mason]

i dont really know how good this is but heres the result

sry fot the input displayer

[granite parrot]

well i dont think its the most hype thing for a months work

its not bad but for a month, i'd expect a bit more

definitely lacks low end

turn up the bass 🔥

[wanton mason]

alr and thanks for the feedbback

[lusty harness]

cool drop! but I think the drums and the bass needs to be louder

[wide ingot]

Needs more un in the unce unce unce unce but I like it a lot!

[candid iris]

@wanton mason sounds worthy, but some timing seems off, or maybe you are ducking too hard set the release a bit shorter

[wanton mason]

Thanks for the feedback

My main problem is that it doesnt sound like its in a big room like with the newer david guetta and morten tracks

Maybe needs more compression idk

[candid iris]

I know what it is, listening closer. Don't use the ducking on the higher elements, unless it has a purpose on the sound

[wanton mason]

Are you talking about sidechain?

[candid iris]

As for getting the sound, first get the composition. Then for individual sounds you want to cut the lo/high limits, up the mid range, widen elements, add a reverb send you can control

yeh, although using sidechain to duck the volume, called ducking haha

[wanton mason]

Thanks

I do want to only release this song once im 100% satysfied with it

[candid iris]

aim for 99%, 100% is never possible haha

wish i had some old projects to show, i used to be big on this kind of music but have lost about 4000 tracks in my time

[wanton mason]

Oh wow! Do you release on labels?

[candid iris]

If I did I'd still have my tracks! Never got past hobby and didn't really put many out in public. Well I did years ago and had a big following until a bad day and deleting it lol

[wanton mason]

Oh

[candid iris]

Here's a super old demo/hardcore type of song lol

although not really arranged here (it's an unfinished demo)

those are well old though. new stuff i'm alot better with sound but haven't really done any banging stuff

@wanton mason i like this one

[wanton mason]

Thx!

[candid iris]

I think the best way, is listen to each instrument by itself, and try to make it sound great by itself

and then work on the elements that clash, and try and make those sound good together

[wanton mason]

@candid iris here is an improoved version:

i think the drop is finished. will probably start working on the full song this week

[candid iris]

Sounds alot cleaner. Something still a little off with timing, wondering you if need to +attack -release on the bass, something is fading too slowly, but just my opinion 🙂

[wanton mason]

I think thats a good idea to try

[candid iris]

Anyway what instruments you have/use?

[wanton mason]

mostly vital

[tribal wadi]

deadmau5 vibes

[candid iris]

yeh i wasn't sure really, tried vital for about a day, serum also looks good. i have native instruments komplete collectors, so have massive / X which I love

[wanton mason]

I only had serum trial ver but i feel like vital fits my workflow better. I might buy the monthly subscription once maybe to try it. I also wanna try massive. I like to experiment with plugins to find the one i love best

I used sytrus before vital and i also tried harmor. But i think vital fits me best for now

[marble spade]

what is that bass? serum?

[wanton mason]

Bro 😭 my earphones broke so i had to buy a new one for like 3€. And gosh it sounds terrible. It cuts so much of the highs i cant its almoost unlistenable. I dont even wanna touch my song like this.

[odd harness]

39 seconds for a loop is a long time with only 1 change in the sound in my opinion. but the loop sounds soft. i had to turn my headset up all the way to even hear it. other than that i like the way it sounds just isnt very loud

[odd harness]

i listened to this one by the way XD

[wanton mason]

It was because the volume of obs was really low. I forgot to bring it up

[outer drift]

what drop

[odd harness]

after the low pitch 3 tone beat at the end of each loop you should add a reverse 3 note beat/something extra that matches the kick cause its missin some spice in the empty spaces in track 1. so after 00:07, 00:13 etc etc. im also going off a soft sound so there might be something already there im not hearing cause the volume is lower

[tribal wadi]

me rn, i think im gonna buy the audiotechnica m40x ones

but rn im with these 3$ earphones :c

[wanton mason]

Im scared to touch my song because if i do mixing and stuff on it, it will probably sound ass on a normal headphone

[candid iris]

Sorry missed your message here. Can't remember it was a long time ago and lost the original! Was never organised with instruments, tended to just scour my instruments for a sound I like. Don't have Serum though. Sounds pretty basic though, could be a sampled bass (years ago tended to work with sampled instruments)

[outer drift]

am i the only one lost about the mixing thing

[rustic python]

This is nowhere near a month's worth of work, unless you hopped on it for a few hours a week or so

But it sounds cool
