Soft Mangos - Izn (Ethnic/Electronic)

[IznremiX]

I just released an ethnically influenced electronic track titled "Soft Mangos". It would mean the world to me if you lent me your ears and gave it a listen!

i like it, its got lots of variety in there, good work... if it was mastered better it would be nicer on the ear so to speak.. peace

Thanks for giving it a listen, I really appreciate it!

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on the mastering bit? I had it mastered by a fairly reputable guy and was wondering if there are any red flags I should look out for in the future

hey Inz, Im no mastering expert far from it, your guy probably has better ears than me. Im guessing he masters live bands more than electronica?

Heres my take for what its worth. The drums sound really compressed to me (and low in the mix), and the snare and pan pipe sound 8 bit (which might be what your after) but it sounds harsh against the overall vibe of the track - which is lovely and mellow. Also dont like how hes panned different instruments left and right, but thats a preference I guess... Like I said, Im no expert just like listening to tunes, keep up the good work, peace.
