shrikeParticipantI have been looking for a good dynamic eq, the only other one I have found is like $300.
Nice 1

,shrikeParticipant“The other greatest tip that’s helped me to no end recently is”…
Well!?!?! What is this other greatest tip…?
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantI would really like to see if I can help with that. What I am discovering lately is that it’s so much less about actual levels (although that does matter) and much more about what it’s being placed against, relatively speaking.
The simple idea being that if the snare doesn’t sound bright enough, you don’t actually brighten the snare itself, but look for competing sounds and take some sheen off of them.
I don’t expect that will be a new concept for you, but I know that for me it’s a little harder to wrap my head around sometimes.
If you make your tune dl-able, I will pull it into the DAW and play around with it, maybe I can get you some new insight to try…?

,shrikeParticipantBalron, I am going to propose an addition to your name that you might consider:
“Lord Balron”
I don’t know why, it just kinda fits. Like “Lord Vader” type thing…
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantSo I am A/B’ing to make sure I give you somewhat correct info…certainly not required, but in the future if you make the tunes dl’able I can pull them into the DAW and put them under the microscope.
But bear with me, I am not trying to send you on a boondoggle (can’t think of a euro equivalent of “boondoggle”…yank slang).
I think the lead bell sound is sitting in there a little more nicely, it’s not trying to overpower everything. I think you gave the lead vox the same treatment maybe? Taking it down also? I think the vox could afford to be skosh’ed back up in gain (skosh=technical term). Same with that warpy, staggered mid bass sound, I think it could get a little more power back. Before it popped up more in the fg as a nice surprise, and now it feels relegated to a bg sound only.
I’d love it if someone else weighed in here, too. I would hate for you to overwork things based on my single viewpoint. Overall I think things blend a little better, but that we’ve maybe lost a little ‘oomph’ and forwardness in some places, which honestly might be fixed with some crafty masterchain tweaks.
Help us out, Genie’s, what say you…? I hope this helps you, MindZ, apologies for the zigging and zagging.

,shrikeParticipantThese are each dope AF. Mind esp yours has that heavy ’98 Metalheadz vibe with modern sensibilities.
And Genie, that is just a sonic cannon in every way. So good. Gonna buy, dl, and dissect.
Keep em coming all

,shrikeParticipantWord, good points, thanks Erkki
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantI agree 100%. It needs to find its hook, right now it’s pretty loose.
Thanks for the listen

,shrikeParticipantYeah it’s the struggle:
Musical + groovy + loud + spacious
We stand on the shoulders of giants, my friend
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantThis is a groovy crush of a tune. I’m not detecting any offensive sub clipping, at least in the context of the mix.
It’s like a happy half-time neuro-y thing. I think your musical exploration is going well, lots to like in here. If I had any feedback on something to push a little harder, it might be to take one or two of the signature sounds and give them intermittent longer spacious reverbs, just to create some momentary space outside of the main stage, for some variety/emphasis. It’s something I am working to incorporate into my mixes too: a voluminous soundstage that ensconces the listener.
Something like what is being described in this quick article:
That last 3% of polish, which is admittedly one of the biggest struggles (in any art form).
Also, we are very glad to have you here. I love the energy, and can feed on it.
And if you ever really need a post deleted just ask one of the mods (Harry or myself) and we can do it for you, no worries.
Keep making music…the logical conclusion is that more and more peeps hear it, and by the point that you are ready for prime time, you will be truly ready for prime time. Keep going!

,shrikeParticipantFake it til you make it, bruv
May I ask: how old are you?
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantAh, c’mon mate, I was just about to have a listen!
_-| get to work |-_
,shrikeParticipantPatience, my son! I’ll get you some feedback soon.
Happy to see this energy that you have. I agree that it can sometimes be a little quiet around here. The only way that improves is through motivated peeps like you.
Be the activity that you want to see in this space!
I’m right here with you,as are many others.
