Dude. I downloaded your song and I'm going to put my own spin on it. Sorry I don't sing (only in the shower)but I'll make it kick ass.It's got a wicked keyboard rift.
love the melodies in there. they compliment each other very well. i don't care if you used that FL studio drum loop sample, it sounds perfect in this tune! there is some real potential in you, good luck with your future musical efforts! keep me informed.
first of all, i think the tune is great!
although i do agree with Alividlife, once the mastering is done, it will be a masterpiece :)
as Alividlife says droping the Db will help loads, also i believe you should learn to equalize the frequencies, this will further counter the clipping and/or overlapping.
personally i find it easiest to solo your melodies and use a frequency analyzer plugin, to get a clearer view of what frequency range each part of your tune is running at. and based on that you can figure out where parts a conflicting, and if they are conflicting you then adjust the certain part using an EQ plugin.
having said this, it is important that you do the research, because there is always more to learn :)
hope that helps!
anyways, good luck, and... yep im also a fan :) very chilled sounds and catchy melodies here, can't wait to here the collab!!!
The decibel is commonly used in acoustics to quantify sound levels relative to some 0 dB reference. The reference level is typically set at the threshold of perception of an average human and there are common comparisons used to illustrate different levels of sound pressure.
Ok.... SOOOO!!!!
I know that your reply is, "".... ehhhhhhhh???""
You are clipping in certain freqs... The bass, and the synth.. to my ears...
And, what this article fails to point out, is that when something meets the 0db it fails to register correctly, and becomes......
You are peaking at +1 or "something" DB's.
I say "something" because.. there's really no way to tell, it is surpassing what is "audible".... Some stuff can peak and sound great! like some vocals and stuff.. guitars, mainly mid-range.
Basically... when You clip.. you are distorting.. I am a guitarist... (looks at avatar)... soo, just be careful... LISTEN.... ALL A musician has (and I don't give a shit if all you do is loop) is USE YOUR EARS!, and honestly... it is a known statement used between music engineers,
"Mastering your own stuff is like taking your sister to the prom"
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
Many of us do it here every date... lmao... soo....
It's nice to have someone that has musical taste and listen to your tracks, and tell you what you can do, and can't do///errr!!! SHOULDN'T do. k??
if you have any hopes of going anywhere with music.. You gotta do the research.
Please don't stop doing this style tho!... This is Great!!!
You have a new fan here!
I do think that your levels are just on the verge of being PERFECT! But if you listen very closely to some of the synths and MAYBE your bass drums are clipping..
Just subtle crackles. It's called digital distortion..
I don't know about how much you know about mastering, and I hope I am not offending you, because this sounds great!
Just that you are clipping, just a little bit.
I know close to nothing about mastering, and have no idea how to get rid of what I now know is called digital distortion. hahaha.
Offending? pfffffft, no way, i'd just like to know how to fix it :)
Hey, I would love to do vocals to this track instrumental without the other lady vocals. The melody fits me. If you would like to do a collabo please let me know. Otherwise, I love the track. Its very chill and puts you in a cool chillzone.
That sounds awesome :)
If you give me an email address or some way to get the track to you I can remove the female vocal pan and you can do whatever you like to it and send it back.
Also, my email address is Superpseudonym@yahoo.com if you need to contact me :)
Also, I was in the process of fixing the weird pitch on the female vocal pan, I understand its oddness now after hearing it a few more times :P
I love everything you're doing, but i think the pitch on the vocals around 1:20 could be a little lower....i think it's just my taste - regardless it still fits, just seems 'off' i guess...for lack of a better term/phrase. Both of your tracks are awesome. They're entrancing but simple. Keep it up, would love to hear more :3
for your first track this is superb. i love the way it flows and is dominated by that melody. kkep at it, you'll get better and better. i can't wait for your next instalment. cheers

Hi Brecken
I liked the flow in this track, it all just slots in to place really well and I enjoyed listening to it.
I think alividlife has hit it right on the nail there, I had written down about the 2:45 mark for some sort of slight change.
But as he says take it lightly - Im hardly the person to tell anybody about making changes because I need to make plenty myself, im just giving an honest opinion.
We are all here to comment, review, and to help each other improve. I will be watching for your next track.
Good work on this track
Regards

Dang this sounds like it was inspired off the selected ambient works stuff?
or
the chosen lords?
This is awesome... Awesome glitch synth...
I am not taking any prisoners groove.
Audio Trap indeed.
Favoriting.. and wishing it could have a home on my iPod...
I always try to leave a piece of criticism, so take this lightly, at the 3:00 mark, i thought some crazy jungle rhythms would have been striking and very interesting.

That synth with the half-speed beat just KICKS. Definite download here. I love it.
Perfect, PERFECT arrangement of sounds. Hit me up, with this track, I have ideas for it.
If you need any help tell me

like one or something...
most music is inbetween -6db's and -3dbs...
(Really well polished music sounds like it is -1 db)
