tristancalvaire Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 http://soundcloud.com/zach-carraway/128bpm-demo-electro-house Please give this a listen Would really like some tips on how I should mix this, or any other criticism. Would you kill me if I said that some of the melody immediately reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLkbR5L61fU >_> Anyways, one thing I would suggest– turn it down a little! The synths, that is. The ones that sound like a fairly famous softsynth. They're hogging the whole mix when they oscillate. From there, I'd work on using some EQ to meat up your kick, then start increasing levels of synths via EQ rather than just gaining them up. Try and get your synths to retain their impact without eating up the whole mix when they do. Make it into one fluid sound, rather than a lot of jarring loudness- perhaps add in some intentional jarring via boosting the right frequencies of your synths, but don't make it so loud that the listener has to recoil. Otherwise, fun tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely take your advice and put up a new mix when I've prepared the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
