You're the one to blame for the improved mix and mastering, hahaha, I would have left it as it was, hahaha.
I think I've managed to achieve some of what you were suggesting, opening up the sounds a bit more with the mix and, of course, mastering, which I didn't know how to do. My eyes hurt from watching tutorials to learn.
Since I think you also use Reaper, if you ever want to tinker with it, modify something, or add your own voice so it's not AI, I'll send you the complete project, with all the free VSTs I used.
Cheers and thanks for your advice, Juan Carlos.
P.S.
I'm really looking forward to the Urban Stories album release.
on You broke it more down by RitajustRita
I listen to your tracks regularly, and you always impress me. Warm greetings from Italy and the LINEAR FADE Band.
Thank you for your beautiful compliment.
It is difficult among the real singers here on LM with perfect voices and high notes.
With my severe asthma, I can't do that.
So I am always happy when someone likes my voice and my songs.
Have a nice day

on Tripple N X Charvox - No Promises by TrippleN97
Enough respect!!
on Soniye Ni - Sayam Raj Sagar feat Abbi by sayamrajsagar
Mixing is a complex process, but its the foundation of the entire track. Some of the vocals need tuning, and a few instruments could be better aligned with the key. More importantly, the mix needs balance and clarity. This isnt about working longerits about working with a clear mind and intention. You have to build the track like a recipe, giving each element exactly what it needsno more, no less.
From a production standpoint, Id bring the vocals forward without hesitation, and also push the drums more upfront to give the track energy. Keep pads, synths, and keyboards further back, but still present and purposeful. The bass should sit in the center and properly fill the low end. Then shape the space carefully using reverb, stereo width, panning, and delayalways with subtlety.
Thats how the track will gain identity, character, proper dynamics, and the brightness it needs. As for the videosure, go for it. Make something great and let us see it.
All the best,
Chris

on DON INFERNO - Sayam Raj Sagar by sayamrajsagar
However, I think youve over-compressed the track. Important elements like the guitars are sitting too far backtry bringing them forward. The drums feel a bit flat and could use more character and life. Since theres no clear lead vocal, let the vocals blend more naturally within the instruments, and give the mix more space so everything can sit properly and breathe with better balance.
If you move on to mastering, go for more surgical adjustments with EQ and compression. Definitely run it through some saturation, and finally use a limiterbut be careful not to overdo it. In FL Studio, you have exactly the plugins you need for a great production. Youll end up with a very different track from what it is now.

on Zombie ft 2Sisters by dimestop
you mention in your reply to me your music may seem a little outdated to some, dont ever think like that my friend, music just becomes refined thats all, i dont comment on any track if i dont like it, i would n't offend for the sake, either, i tend to comment if i believe a track is worth it, and your work has been worth it, hence my comments and positives, another plus in our community bro, we inspire each other as we all grow

on Funk It ft Zephyr Music Revised Version by TrippleN97
Grateful for your first feedback too, because that pushed me to revise and polish the timing. Right now the tracks solid enough to work as a demo, and seeing it get people moving is the best proof. Enough respect, my friend and careful, I dont want to be responsible for a funk-related injury report at your studio...haha!!

Well done!
on Funk It ft Zephyr Music Revised Version by TrippleN97
Where I might be mistaken is the following: from 0:18 to 0:30, and occasionally a bit later as well, it feels like theres a slight timing misalignment in the tempo and beats between the vocals, bass, and drums.
I could be wrong, but Im listening in a studio environment and generally trust what Im hearing.
Thats the only note I have, if it actually applies. Otherwise, the track is very enjoyable and definitely gives you the urge to dance when you hear it.
Best regards,
Chris
Thanks again, man.

Your sound is really interesting, Im curious about your workflow. That way I can help you improve your sound a bit more, without you having to get overwhelmed trying to figure everything out on your own.
Saluti, Chris
The vocals are completely untouched, just as the AI generated them with a slight reverb.
And the rest of the tracks - bass, violins, synths, etc. - only have their volume and panning adjusted, nothing else. Since using equalizers, reverb, delay, etc. was too complex for me, I found a VST called "Neutron 5 Elements by Izotope" which seemed simpler. By simply indicating the type of instrument playing on the track, it presets some parameters, making it easy to open up the stereo effect, apply dynamics, and so on. But I've realized that's not the solution. If I want it to sound good, I have to use specific effects for each element. This track hasn't been mastered at all. When it sounded good to me, I just rendered it to WAV and MP3, and that was it.
To learn how to master, I've downloaded Limited Z as a limiter, Youlean Loudness Meter to adjust the LUFS, and I'm undecided between two spectrum analyzers (Spectrum Analyzer and FreqAnalyst by Blue Cat). I'm also planning to use TDR Nova for equalization.
Seriously, don't waste your time with me. If I can't understand things by watching YouTube videos, I'm certainly not going to understand them this way, haha. Just your intention alone makes me feel like I'm on cloud nine, that artists like you dedicate your time to amateurs like me.
Thank you so much, Chris, really. I'll learn little by little. Besides, I take care of many very old animals (between 10 and 15 years old) that take up almost all my time. Each day I have a little time to see what's been uploaded here (I've become addicted to listening to all of you) and then watch YouTube videos to learn.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

The vocal performance is captivating, and the atmosphere is beautifully crafted for the genre. Theres a clear artistic identity here. With a refined mix and a polished master, this could easily stand alongside high-level releases. Great work this definitely deserves further development and exposure. The track has a solid foundation and strong emotional delivery. To elevate it further, the mix could benefit from more clarity and balance especially in the midrange and vocal presence. A tighter low end and more controlled dynamics would help. With proper mastering (EQ, compression, stereo image), it can reach a very professional level.
Thank you so much for your interest, I'm flattered.
The vocals are nothing special; I used AI because if I sang them myself, I know people would have nightmares for weeks, haha. With the help of ChatGPT, I adapted the lyrics I had in mind into English (I don't speak English) to make them sound good using different words.
Once I had the lyrics, I went to Suno.
I told the AI: "An a cappella female voice for a chill house track. The chord progression is B-Ebm-Db-G#m, tempo 120 BPM, each chord lasts 8 bars. A soft, ethereal, and sweet female voice with a warm and emotive tone. The performance is intimate and expressive, with whispered textures and clear pronunciation. Avoid excessive vibrato or an aggressive performance. Maintain a soft, calm, and hypnotic tone."
I also explained the song's structure to him and how he should interpret each part of it.
After several attempts, we came up with something I liked.

on I Make P by dimestop
Id suggest giving a bit more space to the guitar and keyboards so they dont have to push forward in the mix. Maybe lower the vocals slightly and balance the strings.

Chris
