EternalNewbie Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Great sounding mix. Just a few points that i'd like to point out on making the track more attractive to on-the-whim listeners. 1) The bass riff's sound. Needs more bounce. As it is, it sounds too much like low notes on an electric piano. 2) The bass riff itself. 4 root notes laid out on an extremely basic pattern, makes the track sound a lot more amateurish (too... happy) right from the get go. I'd say up the complexity and hit some octaves/higher notes. Doing this will also help add more bounce to the riff. If you do it right you might even find it best to stick with your original bass sound. 3) The snare sound. I'm not sure what the issue is but it's definitely buried too deep. 4) The synth leads. During climactic parts conflict a little bit too much with the vocals. Better EQ or perhaps a different sound altogether? As it is one thing for sure about the leads is they sound kind of outdated and "stock"-y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalNewbie Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I also honestly think the main singing part ("I dont wanna live...") should start at 0:24 instead of 0:39, but hey it's deep house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triton100 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I like this it's good. All of eternal newbie's points were spot on. But you're basically there. Make the bass a bit more interesting. re the bass it sounds nice and wide - did you use the stock stereo expander / reverb - how did you get it so wide ?
