Elements wise its a nice track. Only thing is its compressed too much for my liking, doesn’t really seem to have any fidelity because of this. Also all the sounds seem too pumped up (again because of the compression). But get rid of that problem and it would be a solid track in my eyes (or should I say ears :P)

hi mate, overall the sounds used in the track are good and they fit together well, but the track is brutally over-compressed / over-limited!br
br
As a result, the kick and the other main rhythmical elements that give a track groove and make you want to dance are completely lost. Also as a result of this, the sounds that are panned to the extreme left and right of the stereo spectrum have been raised in volume too much and are far to pominant in the mix.br
br
Try going back and turning off all you compression and mastering on the master channel, then pull all the faders down, and start by mixing the kick and the bass really loud, and then concentrate on adding each of the other elements as low as you can get away with in the track.br
br
Once you have done that, put some more gentle compression and limiting on the master channel, but don’t overdue it.br
br
Then come back to me and let me know once that is done, and i’ll tell you what i think.br
br
I’m interested to see how much this will improve the overall track, as this does have alot of potential and i think with the right mixing, it could be a good track.br
br
Can you let me know what you think of my track mate:br
br

br
Thanks, David.br
br

altough this genre is not my cup of tea, i like the pad and synth in the middle.br
I also have to agree with xpa :slight_smile:

thank you for all the advice guys, i will edit it a bit and post it back on here!

here is the new updated version, did some minor adjustments and i believe it sounds better but let me know what you guys think. Thank you again for the advicebr

Much better!br
br
I still think that the sounds that are panned really wide are a touch too present and up front in the mix though - they are making the kick sounds less big!br
br
Love the filtered acid line and the gated chord stabs. Sound perfect.br
br
The kick and bass need to be bigger still. Just try and mix them really loud in the mix to make them dominate the track.br
br
Try maybe adding more reverb on some of the elements as well to push them back and make the kick and bass dominate more. Remember dance music is all about the kick and bass - especially the kind of genre you are in - the harder stuff!br
br
Breakdown is really nice, creates tension really well and builds up well.br
br
The drop actually sounds better than the start in terms of how it’s all mixed. The kick and bass seem to be a bit punchier and clearer?br
br
br

Sounds much better, do you mono the lower frequency sounds (eg the bass and kick) to make them sit better in the mix? Also might help to eq the other sounds and kill off some of the lows to really let the bass through.br
br

thanks again for the advice, i will keep at it and keep you guys updated, you guys really are awesome :smiley:

So here is the latest version, sorry for not keeping it on soundcloud. Take a listen and let me know if you think its better. Thanks again so much guysbr
