Ecto9 - Music Is My Life Original Mix - Ecto9

Had a pretty slow, basic beginning, however; It caught my attention soon afterwards. I enjoyed the chilling sound movements. The vocals were also well arranged along with the song. Nice!

hahaha @ SeriouslyJoking, Its called a dj friendly 12" mix. the beginning is used to mix from the last track into this one when its played out in a club. did make me chuckle a little that comment lol.

Really nice chords and melody.

If you were to take all the bass out of the track as it builds, when the track comes in it will hit a little harder.

Great switch up at the 4 min mark really helps lift the track up and keep it moving.

If i had to say a couple of things it would be.

The sub bass is too deep, im not sure if you have put the filter too low or if the octave is too low but its not really very audible. maybe making a second copy with an exciter or a distortion on it and mixing it with the bass you have already would make it stick out a little more?

The leed synth lines are a little mid and bass heavy. If you were to cut them a little higher in frequency (Bout 200 ish) and have a higher octave bass line with a side chain compressor on it the track would sonically sound bigger and fuller.

If your worried about there not being enough room in the mix then just duplicate the leed line and pan one all the way left and one all the way right. then pull one of the leed lines backward or forward by a couple of milliseconds. This will give them loads of presence and width without you having to do much work and will give you room for the vocals, kick snare and bass.

I think (but not sure) that your Fx channels still have all there bass on them? taking them up to about 500hz (apart from the sub kick drop ovs ;) will stop them interfering with the rest of the track.

The master buss is compressed and limited really heavily and is causing the track lose its dynamics, this is causing sound spikes to pop out.

I know I must read like a complete Ar$ehole but Its all ment in a constructive mannor and I actually like the track alot and would love to hear it sound its best :)

Ps

The drums are superb. Pretty much cant fault them :)

If you would like me to do a stem mixdown to show you what I mean, let me know and ill video capture it as I mix it down so you can see what im doing :)

Really boring untill ~1:50 and then I nearly DIED - Boom - how good is that?!?!?!
A great house tune you have created here, lovely vocals and an enjoyable melody.

Just do something about the beginning, some kind of build up would be nice. And some more action and variation troughout and you have a club banger house tune here.
