Please give me tips for mixing
It sounds very flat to me if you get what I mean
Good or a bad way?
theres very little movement in it. The sounds are very cliche’ and seem like they are missing volume dynamics. Are you over compressing everything? Also the mid frequencies seem crowded.
No the only compression I have is on the kick
Pretty dark and muddy sounding over all, I think you could boost some of the synths and bassline a bit around 2-4kHz to bring out more bite those parts. It does sound pretty flat, did you do any sort of mastering on this, perhaps a bit too much multi-band compression or limiting?
Sounds like you have a lot of sub going on in the 40-50Hz range that’s not adding anything to the track. That might be eating into your headroom a bit, so maybe a gentle shelf EQ taking down everything on the bassline and kick below 50Hz by 2-3dB. Hard to tell for sure, Soundcloud streaming is crap for making really well-informed decisions like this IMO, it degrades things too much.
Yeah there is a limiter on the master track with a noise gate on it. I’ll try what you said and post the results
Could you then use something else than SoundCloud, 128k is not exactly a good way to listen for mastering issues… Maybe upload a 320k to your own web site or something similar.
I don’t really have any other place to upload the track
If you are not worried about someone stealing the track, which rarely if seldom happens, put it up on droplr, mediafire and so on…
You definitely need to work on compression and eqing.
