Mixing .

I was under that impression because your drums definitely sound more punchy and clubby than they do ambient or chill. It's also why I suggest if you want it to sound more chill (aside from replacing the drums to ones that aren't as aggressive sounding) to just use a simple sounding bass, and loooong sustaining bass notes. Of course if you want it more dubsteppy you'd use a filthy bass and wubwubwuwbuwbuwbuwbwubwubwubwubwuwbuwbwub the shit out of it.

The drums don't work, both in terms of samples and arrangement. Sample wise they're too acoustic sounding for a song trying to be electronic, and arrangement wise they're too erratic they sound incredibly sequenced and choppy. They also don't drive the song, they really sound like they're in the way of it and I would suggest muting them just so 'I' could focus more on the rest of the instrumentation and production. As for the rest of the instrumentation, most of the synths sound rather bland and uninteresting. That one pad/fx synth that starts at the beginning and sounds like a crash transition in a warbly effect for example serves little to no purpose other than to take up space through-out the track, and take up space it does. Also at several points in the track you have multiple instruments fighting for the center of attention, leaving it sounding muddy and disoriented. I do like some of your re-arrangements, and you do have moments of nice ideas with them. Personally would have ended this at around the 3:50 mark, the last minute adds noooooothing. It's interesting cause v3 is a lot easier to listen to compared to v2 (the panning hurts), yet v2 sounds a lot sharper... had more of a bass sound too.

Pretty good work here. 2 Suggestions: 1)Could use some sub bass. Simple, sine wave, sub bass. I know one of your kicks have it, but they come few and far between and don't stay around very long. Adding this would definitely kick this mix up several notches. 2)Drums could use a little more variation. The only change up I noticed was at 2:21. Not talking about huge fills all over the place, but like muting the kick on it's first down beat during various parts would really add a lot. Little things.

I dunno. I kinda like the clap. It's a rather different sound then what you normally hear with trance music. I agree with most of your later assessment though, and shall add that the overall mixing is incredibly poor. The piano has no love, most everything sounds centered, nothing sounds eq'd. It isn't just layers you need, it's personalization and spice.

Getting a song posted on OCR nyuknyuknyuk~!!

Looking forward to this.

Hey so like, I re-released this. http://skryp6.com Oh, the website is new too. Also obligatory social media links: Facebook Twitter Soundcloud ·__.

yay more idlers i say!!!

I had listened to this a couple of days ago when you uploaded it. Had a lot of little things to say about it, so was waiting till I could organize all my thoughts. Overall it's pretty good, nothing stands out as being too out of place or awkward sounding. With the good out of the way, here's the criticism: - On your intro sweep, lower the resonance a bit. once it starts reaching 2k-500 it tends to sound too sharp. - Your lead @ 0:55. Hmm, it sounds slightly too distant. Too unsure of itself. It doesn't want to stand out and take lead, but it doesn't want to hide in the background and blend with the pads. I'd probably lowpass it a little bit and make it blend the background a bit more. It also has too strong of a release or decay that's really noticeable when the notes play quick quarter notes (1:07). I suppose the synth itself could use more tweaking in that regards. - Your main lead. Like the intro pad, when it swells the 1k~ freq get to be really sharp and piercing. Slight eqing or lowering a res should fix it. Possibly lowering the volume a bit too. - The lead at 3:47, which I'm assuming is the same lead at 0:55, works better here. Same issue with the decay or release. It also has some attack on it that I don't think quite works, as in some places it sounds slightly off. - Drums drums drums. It's minimal sounding. I think it works with the piece. They do tend to get a little boring as the song progresses though, since you're using pretty much the same 3 samples (kick snare hat) through-out the majority of the song. I feel the song itself could use some trimming too, clocking in at just over 6 minutes. If you condense it to something like 4, I think it would make the mix sound a lot stronger. Beyond that, it's a pretty good OC contender. You added your little spin to the arrangement which I'm sure the jdgfgts are looking for. Little more polishing in the mixing, and I think you're golden.

what seriosuly i have been waiting for so long to see the albumn release is that crazy that people will like it come on do this for the fans when i was a producer of the project i will not do the same thing as you are so i am disapointed so fell about that i want this album so badly emulator promise us a releas album this year it begin developed since 2010 and now this can't belive you say that so sorry i disapointed and i am not dealing with this

Oh... how about this one?

This mix right here

My apologies. I didn't say any of that originally because I honestly thought that it was obvious. Forgotten what it was like to be new at mixing heh Do keep it in mind for other works. Although again, I can't see any future works suddenly being hugely improved from what you have here (hey, prove me wrong) which is why I also suggest just learning the program, and not concern yourself with making anything. ...

I'm not going to finish watching a movie if I find the first 20 or 30 minutes unwatchable, I'm not gonna follow a TV season if the first episode isn't interesting, and I'm not gonna finish listening to a song if what I've heard so far is boring. I can't be constructive with this song because it falls into every cliche someone with inexperience makes; none of the samples are any good, it's waaay to conservative that it boarders being a midi-rip, there is no personalized touches that makes the song stand out. It would take far too much time and effort to turn this into something, which is why I suggest starting new and just playing around more with the software. Experimenting and such.

Why am I feeling a Röy~oh, Norway There's a lot of little things I would tweak with this. Like, if the bird chirping and the waterfall are two separate samples, pan the chirping all around the spacial area. Probably shave time a little off the intro and outro, and other little things. As a whole it isn't bad. Nothing sounds horribly out of place and the synths do blend nicely together. I think the mixing could be a little tighter and sharper. The drums could use a little more love, the snare in particular sounds sad during the offbeat. Beat could use more variations too. The melody during 0:57 to 1:54 could use more variation from the source (tho not as varied as what you did at 2:34). Oh it's getting there. I'm certain this could easily get accepted if you put in as much, or less effort then I think you should. Looking forward to the next update.

I'm guessing he means your drums use triplets at weird moments. I stopped listening after 2 minutes. When I read I'm assuming 'a bit' means less than 6 months. No amount of advice is gonna help you improve this song. It is what it is and no feedback or advice is going to take it from what it is and make it any better. I suggest if you like what you're doing, start a new project and keep on learning. Practice, experiment, learn more about the software, etc.

...damn you modern technology

srsly I'm in there right now so if you join right now I'll listen right now

I'm so lonely guys

I'll just leave this here

I... remember... guy...?

I just want to thank the good people at newgrounds. After 16 whole months and talking with several different "mods", they finally managed to do absolutely nothing. Way to go folks.

Give Nova Musik a looksee
