Cross-post from the electronic music thread since no one has responded: Ok, so I finally have assembled a track that I would like some feedback on. A couple notes on this: -Style is probably closest to House/Deep House -The track is not finished, I cut it off at 4:00 for this demo but there is probably a minute and half left I want to finish it with -Also planning to add a few elements to make it more interesting (lead after the drop, some random fx) -The arrangement is relatively simple, I was really trying to focus on learning and applying production techniques -Mastering is very minimal I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to listen and anyone who provides notes. This is the first thing I have ever felt comfortable sharing so I look forward to getting outside feedback. https://soundcloud.com/bradley-freeman-3/driftwalk-wip/s-9QpUI Edit: Fixed Link MrSargent fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jan 9, 2017 |

Sounds like a decent clean mix to me so far, nothing really stood out to me to give criticism on except that it seemed to be lacking some of the exact elements you said you are planning on adding later. I guess one small thing is that my ears expected to hear some ducking compression after the drop. Maybe that's something that gets added later, but it's so ubiquitous in tracks like this these days that it was kind of noticeable that I didn't get it. I'd say it's off to a good start, I'd encourage you to finish it and post the more finished product for more detailed feedback.

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and provide feedback, it is much appreciated. For your comment regarding expecting some ducking compression after the drop, was there a particular element that you thought wasn't ducking quite enough when the kick hits? I sidechained most of the tracks to the Kick, but adjusted the ratio & threshold accordingly for each track so some (like the crash and reverse crash) are very obviously ducking where others (like the pads) duck just enough to let the kick punch through. I will experiment with adjusting the threshold on the sidechain compressor for the pads track (i think that's probably what you are referring to as not ducking much) and see what works. My wife actually wrote some lyrics for this track that I think are perfect. Now its just a matter of getting her confident enough to record them for me (she has a great voice but doesn't sing as often as she used to). A nice bottle of wine should do the trick.

On second listen I did hear what you did with the sidechaining. I think maybe my ear has been tainted by hearing a lot of tracks lately where the pads and other instrumentation is pumping exaggeratedly. I'd take it with a grain of salt, though, that's not necessarily something I'm even all that into.

Thanks for the feedback dude. I wanted to make sure I was headed in the right direction in terms of mixing those few elements correctly. Slowly trying to add more interesting complexity to fill it out.

I think you may be trying a little too hard with the sidechain compression. When you have a four-to-the-floor beat like that, there's no real penalty for just ducking the entire mix to the kick drum. With a short (~50 ms) release, any worthwhile compressor can let your kick be heard without "pumping". You can even use a multiband compressor to compress let's say just the frequencies below 2KHz. If you check out my soundcloud, the track "Opus 666", I did exactly that with a 909 kick. It doesn't have as much treble "presence" as the drum in your track; it's more of a boom than a thump.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually went back and started tweaking with the compression settings a bit to get them to play a little more together. Is there a particular part that is sidechained too much or is it more general for the whole track. I focused on tweaking the crashes.

It sounds fine. I just meant that you may be making unnecessary extra work for yourself by ducking the parts separately. I generally mix everything except for the kick down to a single bus and put the sidechained compressor on that. Doing it that way also gives the music an almost subliminal pulse. Some pros actually make the compression obviously audible (volume pumping), but I'm not a fan of that sound. Thanks for the listen, Dylan. Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is one of my favorite classical pieces.

This is my personal soundcloud to showcase the kind of guitar/vocals folk stuff I play around pubs, mostly Scottish and Irish stuff. This is a small demo I recorded at the local college with one of the sound engineering students in their studio. Fairly basic but does the trick. https://soundcloud.com/elijah-fynmore/sets/songs-of-scotland And this is the wee folk band I've started. I'm swapping mandolin, guitar, and vocals, your man from Donegal on guitar, bodhrán, and vocals, and your man from Wirral on five string banjo, mouth harp, and vocals. Been recording our rehearsals/sessions in the pub with my phone/H4zoom. 4 songs with the zoom: https://soundcloud.com/user-365559034/sets/23012017a 12 songs with the phone: https://soundcloud.com/user-365559034/sets/oneills18-01-2017

Like your take on Froggy Went A-Courtin', more midwestern than southern on the vocals. Makes it sound more... singer-songwritery than I usually hear it.

https://soundcloud.com/dimatrod I run my own kind of semi production/recording thing in my house. Just yesterday released my band's album, and being from/in Costa Rica, the whole scene thing really does narrow into producers/"engineers" so very recently I started working with increasingly more artists. Check it out for kind of post-punk/shoegaze/pop-punk in english AND spanish  , I should be uploading a couple of EPs this month and the following.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Dude, awesome. You sound a kinda like Dick Gaughan, which ain't ever a bad thing. Are all the songs trad or are there originals? Cheers man! Gaughan is a huge influence on me, I developed my dadgad playing based on his stuff. Our version of Froggy has my mate Ferghal singing, he's from Donegal, so I think the country/folk instinct there is a bit different than the way an American might sing it. All our stuff is trad so far, no originals, although Ferghal is quite keen on the Waterboys hence that wee cover of Fisherman's Blues somewhere there. Puerto Rico? That's a first. English is my native language but I've developed a sort of Northeastern Scottish accent and learned the local dialect after being here for 7 years. Like a (much) softer version of this, although I do sometimes slip into harsh Doric if I'm with the right people and have had enough to drink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDNN6NigGNM hard-to-spell things mentioned in the video are Ruairidh (pronounced "Rury"), Duguid ("Diuchid"), Dalziell ("Di'ell"), Garioch ("Geary"), Finzean ("Fingen"), Facher ("Fack her"). Aberdeenshire has some really weird place names. AARO posted:Coohoolin I just wanted to tell you that your music is great. Thanks man!
