Hey, so i am practising mixing like everyday trying to get my tracks to sound professional,

This track is different to what i usually make, its quite cheesy i normally like to focus on more of a synth bass rather than kicking my track in with a lead and a basic moog style saw underneath

Anyway if anybody can give me any feedback/advice/critism it would be greatly appreciated!

Should mention - i havent put anything on the master as i dont master my own tracks. just a limiter (not pushed at all)

Youre probably best downloading the track then playing it as zippyshare seems to colour the sound in a bad way

Thanks!!

Any1?

i'll take a listen today and i'll let you know my perspective

I think the mix sounds okay... its not very wide and I can hear way too much side chain compression... but that is something I do not really care for.

Overall, I think you are heading in the right direction. Try lifting the melody out of the mix...

pretty decent mixing actually. I would work on the melody a little bit tho. doesn't really grab my attention too much. The sounds are pretty nice tho. Would be cool if you could share how u made those snares and the riser (which sounds like its in a tube) in the buildup, but it's up to you if you want to disclose that info overall tho, pretty decent mixing i would say. Also, the sidechain was a little rough as the guy above me mentioned, might want to ease up on it a little. good luck!

Better than I can do.

I humbly add my opinion that it sounds like too much high and middle frequencies. I don't hear much bass and didn't notice it was there until halfway through the song. The bass is not varied at all. I think it needs more bass and sub instruments and variation. Perhaps lowering everything in relation to the kick would help too.

The bass, that is there, follows the main line note wise and rhythm wise. It needs to stand apart one way or the other imho.

This is the genre I like too.

Thanks for the input guys!! Yeah listening back now i realise the side chain doesn't sound very nice, going to alter that

You know when you say too much mids and highs, would you just say maybe that there is too little bass? I don't think i have EQ'd the mids and highs too much, the room i mixed this in was awful for acoustics so i kind of had to guess on the bass

The build up sounds are made from a white noise flanger style sound, if you search on youtube there is a few videos that show you how to do it, i also have a sine with a pitch envelope on it and a basic snare, all them 3 together with some regular white noise create my build up

Cheers
