Prog in ableton

Hi,

very interesting video about progressive in ableton, I have just one question…

it sound so perfect but I’ve tried to listen to the final project in a car with subwoofer and…the kick sounds like a hardcore track!

What’s the deal,As I suppose your mix is perfect?

Is it a bad idea to listen it on this kind of system or?

Seems to be one of the major problem for newbie, a perfect sound on every system…

you should listen to a mix down on as many systems as possible, that way you know how it will react in clubs, people cars , homes etc…

So essentially what you’re doing is absoloutely right, listen to it, go back twak it so it perfroms on all systems.

That’s one of the reasons that soundcloud, this forum, etc are so useful as it lets other ppl listen on their set up and comment back. Assuming they do comment of course. Hint.



If you get a lot of comments about an aspect, e.g. hihats too frisky, mid range too muddy, whatever, it’s a pretty good sign that that needs fixing.

thanks for your reply guys!

In fact i mean that i have exported the final project from the training video “how to make progressive” to listen to it in a car (I made this because I was realy impressed by the global sound of the track and I was curious to see what would be the result with a car instalation.

The result is that the track is still perfect in the car, however the kick (who sounds sooo good in my home environement (like the perfect tech-house kick)) is banging very too hard in the car (almost like an hard kick)

What’s the deal?

At this day, I don’t know if I have to trust my home speakers or car speakers :crazy:

have a good week-end! :wink:

you might need to roll off on the bass a bit. might just be distorting.

thanks phil!

do you mean the low end from the kick? (as the track is already banging to hard only with kick drum)

I would cut some freq in 100hz but I’m afraid that it will ruin the power of it

best thing would be compare it to another track of a similar type in your car and see what the difference is.



you could also check them both with a spectrum analyser

nice, thank u!
