it sounds pretty nice to me

Groovy! I feel like there might be a bit much energy in the low-end but it probably is fitting for the genre. That low tom or kick adjacent sound playing the 16th note rhythm I think could come down a little in order to let the kick and other sounds breathe more. But of course I am not the expert and enjoyed the listen through either way. Cheers bro!

Thanks Carson :) Thanks Nicolae :) ... Yes, in the low end it was difficult to reconcile everything. There are three basses that play together and then alternate. The kick has a fundamental that is too low (50hz) and therefore everything is played in that frequency range. This caused me some problems. For the moment, I don't have a super suitable listener to deal with such low frequencies. In fact, I feel like I didn't get very clean work. I have to try again. Thanks bro ^_^

0:22 the low end doesn't work for me. kick needs more click and space (sidechain), and the bass stabs are too loud.

1:20 etc could evolve more, more high end, more sustained chords maybe

overall hats could be brighter and noisier

3:10 not sure if the drop is wrong measure-wise, comes in too early, or I expect a heavier ONE after the first two hits or something. I would put a crash in around 3:12 I think.

3:13 the vocal could sit better in the mix, more reverb for blend is all I think, maybe a bit less bright so it fits the vibe of the track

the percussion on the sides is really cool by the way

kinda wish to co-produce this because I love the groove and mood, inspires me already haha

Hey man, very nice track. I agree about the low end, although the groove of the bass is one of my favourite parts of the track. I can see why you want that being prominent and that causing problems in the mix. Whilst I love the atmosphere and feel, I find my ear searching for a little more musically - I love the interest that comes from the vocal sample at 3.13 - it really opens out sonically and emotionally at that point. The snare sits really nicely in the mix - I find myself noticing that one is longer and one shorter, and I wonder if the higher frequencies of the drums as a whole were a little more processed/ crushing/ pumping, that the groove may come together a little more overall? Great work and really great feel/ groove of the track!

Thanks guys :) Matthias... In fact I could try giving the kick a little more tip to make it come out better. But I also don't want to have that kind of kick that's too prominent. You're right about the breaks and drops, I didn't pay enough attention to them and maybe the timing isn't exact. This time I went a little by feeling and not too much by following the lines. If you want to try to make a remix, my friend, with great pleasure! Let me know and I'll send you the tracks :)

Hi Musica Ecad :) Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment on my work. At the moment I can only work with headphones and I have a bit of trouble dealing with low frequencies. headphones are good enough, but nothing beats a subwoofer in this case. I inserted three lines of Snare. In fact, one is longer and the other two are quite similar. I perhaps crushed the other frequencies a little too much because when I raised the volume (but I stopped at -10db) they came out too much and it seemed to me that they cut my ears a little.

Ah ok, sounds like you did all that already - nice work 👍

Sounds pretty good to me. But this isn't a genre I work in a lot. Can you give us your reference track title please?

I think it sounds pretty good too. There is a low frequency instrument that cuts out at 2:56. The one that goes away there seems to be causing a buildup throughout the track. Might also be an excess of compression on that element too, I feel like my head is getting squeezed every time that hit.

I liked the snare!

Hope that helps!

Hello Vittorio!! This vibe is awesome!! I would like to hear this track driving in the night far away from the city ⛰️🚗... I think the mix is balanced but I feel that the kick needs a little bit of punch to feel it more separated from the bass. The hi hats are very pointed in my opinion, also I think that you could play more with the parameters of the synth with the ping pong delay, may be you could do more automation of the delay or the reverb to add some more of width and variations in the breaks. I think with a little more of glue compression or clipping the whole track could be more solid.

Hi Martin :) to tell the truth, for this project I didn't rely on any reference trace, but generally when it comes to frequency balance I rely on the traumschallplatten label, which I followed for many years when I ran my program in radio in Rome. German label based in the city of Köln. Lately I've also been listening to Stephan Bodzin a lot ;)

P.S. if you want to listen to many references of underground electronic music, only independent labels (from all over the world. In description name of the producer and Label! You can find all these on Facebook, to contact them). Here you will find everything you need: www.mixcloud.com/vXvDJ

Hi Chris :) Yes you are right! I made a cut on the volume at that moment (at 2:56) maybe it's not too good. That effect of the head being crushed every time it hits is what (I hope) normally happens in clubs when the whole body vibrates at a low frequency. But I repeat: unfortunately I don't have my system at my disposal now and so I can only rely on the spectrum analyzer and a bit of experience in electronic music from my last years to be able to adjust. Sorry, my English is bad, I write with the translator.

Hi Eli :) Thank you very much for your comment! The kick actually remains a bit suffocated. Maybe I could give it a little more edge. I don't want too sharp a kick, but this actually gets too lost in the mix. Yes, I think this track could be nice when traveling in the car ;) Thanks! This was the first experiment on this project, as you said... there are many variables that could benefit the song. I'm working on it. Thanks for your support ;)

Nice Work! Im in the hip hop/soul space so i may not understand the character dynamics of EDM. With that said i feel like the kick gets pushed back in the mix when the bass is introduced; The kick also sounds a little honky to me so maybe some attenuation between 500 and 2k? However thats just per my taste.

Thanks for sharing! Kick creating !

Hi Al Brown :) yes you are right. I should focus more on cleaning between kick and bass. I don't want a kick with too much edge, I was looking for something dark, but maybe this is too much. Even on 500 Hz there is a problem. Thank you very much for your comment. I appreciate it so much :)

I love the track! I do feel like there's a 'clickieness' in the snare that fights with the high-hats. Maybe some sidechain compression on the HH from the snare, either whole-band or ~5k? might not take make the snare pop a bit more in the register. sounds awesome, thanks for sharing!

If you're noticing ear fatigue, always better to either have a break or come back another time to finish the mix/master. 1 hour on fresh ears is worth 4-5 on cooked ears (and I've often found that when mixing on cooked ears, I'd of just been better to of left the track and come back another time no matter how long I spent on it, making decisions I would all roll back the next day anyway).

Song sounds nice though, I do agree that some more work on getting the drums (especially the kick and snare for me) to sit nice would be ideal (but do it once your ears have rested ;P). The Arp synth is awesome though, super pretty and very well balanced in the setting of your mix.

Hi Damon :) Yes I have to continue working on the track and fix these problems. Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked the sound :) Happy holidays see you soon!

Hi Josh :) You are completely right. Too often I spend hours working on tracks, even though I realize I'm tired and can't hear anything anymore. Breaks are too important. It should never be forgotten. Thank you very much for your comment. I took a few days off and will soon get back into the mix to fix everything I can. I'm very happy that you liked the track. Thanks for your comment. Happy Holidays ;)
