Hello Zivon, I like this, could you collaborate in your work?

I don't get any clipping on my monitors, but that is probably due to the fact that they are running in a smaller listening environment and thus low volume.

You have had mastering problems like this before with your tracks, I had them all the time before I understood gain through the reference decibel scale.

Pull up a spectrum analyzer in your DAW if you have one or install SPAN by Voxengo, a good free analyzer for DAWs. I suggest using reference levels around -12dB to master the track as this fits the waveform nicely within the borders in looperman.

It is likely that your sounds are approaching or exceeding the 0dB reference level, which would cause the clipping experienced in many audio systems.

I don't work with FL Studio's.
Can you work with the following DAW?
Pro Tools
Logic Pro

Hey good track man, saw your post in the forums. I like everything I am hearing, I'm listening on cheap headphones and they are not picking up any clipping. Nice mix of sounds and I get where you are coming from with your approach. Thanks for sharing this!!

Hi, Zion. Nice track. I agree with Jamid and Silverman. This would work a whole lot better if you remixed it, dropping all levels down so it doesn't flatline at the max. I was taught that if the mix really isn't working, start over and pull all the faders down to the bottom of their range. Then start bringing the up one by one, but don't let your overall main stereo output levels get any hotter than -3db. Preferably a lot lower. I must admit, I hate starting over, particularly when I've locked in volume automation on the individual instrument tracks in a project, but sometimes it is the best solution.

Volumes are all running at more or less the same level?
It's making it sound very loud but also very flat.
There are no little spaces tubes tunnels for my imagination to get a toehold in.
It's a bit like all the entrances into the piece have been walled up.

Hello Silverman.

I'm sorry that the song did not excite your imagination like it did mine! :(

BUT I think I fixed the audio clipping? Have another listen maybe?

Hello Zivon,
The track concept is brilliant, but you are drowning it with over gaining the level of the volume.
You can look at your LM upload you can see that the top and the bottom of your wav are in one straight line with no head room at all.
I hope this is useful to you?

I greatly decreased the volume, but the waveform looks the same but only on here?

Oh well haha.
I thank you for your feedback and please have another listan to see if it still clips.
Danke

great track with beautiful (almost ethereal) synth tunes...no idea what the problem with the bass (I'm in work with bulls..t pc) so later at home...
but let me get one thing: I know that every genre's gotta 'typical' drum, synth, guitar etc...sound but here the snare's pounding sound is a bit irritating (could be my fault...)

but all in all, cool track, handshake, Danke

Description : An electronic oriented track dedicated to the fabulous Vangelis Papathanasiou. I have used acoustic elements too in an attempt to get things close to each other.
It is a new project in my mind, entitled "Electronic Swap".
I hope you like this song.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
