Wound - Nln1

Hey Nil, cool track bro. I dig the arrangement and think you got a pretty tight mix. Its got a nice tropical reggae vibe going on which is nice. Of course since you asked for feedback and/or suggestions, we would like to offer some up. Joe has about as professional of an opinion as your going to get around here so I definitely think he is right. Even the best mix will not make the grade without some good mastering. After listening a few times I'm wondering if you may have some side chaining compression going on. I say that because I can definitely hear the kick effecting the other instruments. Side chaining is a neat effect and very popular in electronic music to accentuate that beat. It's not that hard to do but it does require a certain amount of understanding and knowledge to get the right effect and desired end result. A botched effort can and will essentially wreak havoc on the dynamics of your track. If this is in fact the case here you would need to check and adjust the levels on your kick compression buss. If you are side chaining using filtering or maybe have a compressor or limiter on the Master Track, the same rules of thumb apply. Those adjustments are very critical. I have tried some side chaining in the past and I can say that it takes some effort. Mastering in and of itself requires a good ear and the more you learn and do it the better you will become. So yeah, another once through here to lower levels, fine tune eq and/or dial in that side chaining effect should make this sound even better.

What a nice rich sound! It made me bob my head while listening. I like it.
