the 3k to 8k region sounds harsh, I believe its the hihat. The beat can be pushed back slightly because it is overpowering and clashing with the vocal. Other then that, I can maybe suggest more stereo width to the vocal in the high range to really make it sparkle through and give more clarity. Great work otherwise. Love the vocal fx and processing you did.
Not the best mix and mastering ever but it feels worst when you see the bitterness on the post and in the way you replied the artist.... bro.. nobody is obligated to like your work, That's normal, Just move on to find artists that appreciate your style.
and a little more on the concept that i was talking about with a soft clipper, sidechain works wonders too :)
often times, distortion from a kick can be handled quite well by just sidechaining the vsts/loops behind the main beat (i.e the kick, hihats, and snare) :)
do that and you shouldnt have any distortion or in this case "clipping" on the master channel anymore :)
i think im going to have to side with the other guy that said that you leaned hard on the master gain. but really in truly that doesnt matter when were talking about this genre. because to be completely honest, its at commercial loudness. which is all that matters :)
when it comes to this genre, there really isnt a right way to mix and master and most of the time, throw a compressor and a soft clipper on the master and youre fine :)
if youre worried about a mix and master, you shouldnt be. because its all about the feeling and vibe of the track
if everything vibes well and the feeling is good, you're fine
youd be really surprised to know how many professional tracks come like this as well. the clipping is coming from a kick, which is normal. if your kick is a hard hitting, distorted kick, you should EXPECT to have some clipping in the master. its natural because the distorted frequencies make other frequencies distorted as well. as i said, distortion is natural when dealing with a distorted kick
the best advise someone could ever give you with this genre is this: when ever you have a distorted kick, put a soft clipper on the mixer track of that kick. that way, when it comes time for the final product, there will be less distortion with the master channel :)
Hi guys Kayari here, just wanted to say that I greatly appreciate Cartel's work,he did a great job. Sadly we had some different views on certain aspects to the song, and Id rather not release a song I'm not a 100% happy with it. My version is unedited and obviously not ready. I'll be releasing the mixed and mastered version soon, so Stay tuned if you're interested. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen
I think it sounds great man! I'd give it a 8 outta 10. Her vocals could be a bit louder, and a little more of that low end cut out. Other than that, DOPE!
I wish this site would let me use emojis cause my whole comment would just be fire emojis. This is AWESOME!!
The mix already seems so well done, along with the master. I couldn’t imagine what more you guys would want to do with this!!
If interested, I’d love to potentially collab in the future!
