Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a great day! I have a quick question: is there a way to completely reset the training level? Or is lowering it by 10 levels the maximum option?
Hey guys, I am based in Shanghai, China and I'm new to SoundGym, signed up on the lifetime deal because... why not? I make electronic music, I have little music theory knowledge and am self taught in theory and music production. I need to get more serious with it as I love it and it helps me enjoy life. I thought that I'd post one of my more recent tracks, which at first was an experiment to see if I could put Twiki from Buck Rogers into a tune, and then morphed into a more spiritual message about life after death. It's not fully mixed because this is something I need to learn, hence joining up with SoundGym to get my ears in shape.
Any feedback would be apprieciated whether it be related to theory, arrangement, muddiness , mixing levels etc.
Hey Stuart, so my critiques are more from a mixing stand point. I agree with Vittorio about the 200 mud buildup but it isn't too bad. I would say that the kick could come down a bit because when you master the track you probably won't be able to squeeze out much more volume until it starts clipping. A big overall thing I noticed is that it leans to the left a lot in the stereo field. Try panning some things to the right for a more balanced sound. Last thing I want to say is that some of the ear candy in the middle was a little too forward. Probably just needs to be turned down a bit but you could also roll off the high end on those tracks to imply more distance. Everything else sounded pretty interesting. I liked the depth processing you did and overall the ambience was dialed in nicely. Keep it up
Nice tune! I noticed that there are multiple samples in this tune. A question for you (and anyone else reading this too): what is the official word on sampling and copyright infringement? Is there an acceptable threshold for the amount of sampling you are allowed to use in a track? I have a feeling that certain platforms would want this removed. Just asking about sampling because I love using samples too but am cautious of the over-zealous way that several platforms interpret and enforce copyright.
