Great ideas, cool sound choices and arrangement.

Try leveling all your tracks between -12 and -6 db. Then level the master to maybe between -3 and 0 (before "mastering"). If you are using a separate track for effects (side-chaining), maybe turn that down all the way, level the primary tracks (the "music") and then slowly add it back to taste.

I don't know if you are using loops or plugins. If loops you may want to use EQ and/or compression, among other things, to normalize the volume. Writing automation in the track to control volume also helps. It is difficult to tell how much of the volume swells is creative choice vs mixing issues. You can see it in the shape of the wav, there is a big space between the loudest and quietest parts.

Here are two videos that may help (they helped me) and would be a good place to start.

Also, try listening to your mix in a car as well as headphones. The car will help you with the bass. The headphone will help you find harsh tones to remove via EQ -poor folk's studio :)

Lastly, your user name is awesome even if it is imaginary, let me know if this helps.

I've listened to this now with earphones and I notice that the levels of the effects are okay, it's just the synths are muddy, and in my own opinion the snare is a bit loud maybe lower it a db.

Drops is lacking low end bass, and other elements in the drop ruining the mix, you can fix that by lowering the effects so that the drop would stand out more but to be honest the overall song is good just work a bit with the mix.

Thanks for your feedback! I purposefully lowered the bass because I felt most of them are too overpowering, but I understand what you mean!

Which effects do you think are overpowering?

Thanks for listening!

Very funny vintage sound, reminiscent of 80's video games, with a hint of psychedelia. Good job

Love the melody, though I would agree with Xzysin. It gets muddy on the drop, and some fx are too loud (which overpowers the mix).

Love the potential, sounds like Hyper Potions!

Nice Groove but its sounds really muddy and the drops need a harder low end and bass. Other than that, nice song!

Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

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.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.
