on We were not born like this by aarker
The dubstep touch in throttled part is really nice, the poignant intro is my land! Room for improvement? Yes, but the start level is high yet! Fav!

on Stories by Jayatencio
Does Avicii came back from afterlife? I really like the sung part and his arrangement , just a bit less the synth part (the avicii one, i mean). Mix/Mastering needs further work: why the kick is only on left side?

on TE1 ft Jenna Evans - Make it Right by TheEnlightenedOne
Sure, better than 1st version, but there are still some stuff to work on.

Vocals: as Alien rightly told, add a de-esser. Then apply a 4:1 compression (to make the waveform uniform, in this way it avoids that the lower parts are not intelligible and that the higher ones are too strong). Last but not least, add an eq and soften the low-mid frequencies of the voice tone, otherwise, as it is, it still buries parts of the instrumental. After doing all this, you can adjust the overall volume.

Acoustics: still too weak. Enhance their brilliance. A tad more stereo field needs too.

Drumstuff: all at the right place but the snare. Volume still too low. If you can't do better with the one you used, add a "80's" one (if you need some samples, i got something :) ) then wide his stereo field and add a longer reverb.

TheEnlightenedOne replied 13th Apr 2019 - 7 years ago
Looks like I had to work with another snare, cause the one I was using was at its max potential. I used the compression ratio you mentioned, but had to manually equalize parts of it due to the piano being recorded with the vocals. Added a bit more to fluff it up and further separated the pads. I'm learning a lot, thank you.

on Orca - Prod by DopeGreed0 by Grido
Probably you have thought of someone who would put a nice flow on this track, that would guide it, beyond the instrumentals. And that's fine. With regards to music, it's very psychedelic, you've arranged it very well. But the tone variation, which you used only twice, at the beginning and at the end, you could have used it through the whole piece. In this way it is less monotonous and the eventual rapper who works there will be able to write a lyric and perform it with more vocal variations.

on Welcome to the Party - Mother of Dragons Mix by wikkid
Great energy here! Really cool kicks, it's a kind of sound wraps the ears, and i like it so much. Why not an adequate bassline? Especially in the central part, the song seems a tad ... something missing! In any case, i though work with audacity only must not have been easy, it allowed you to develop the track as it deserved. I have the same problem as your with the DAW... but i can't use Cool Edit Pro for my tracks, i feel not in comfort use it's rack. (Better edit some samples before insert them in FL Studio!)

wikkid replied 11th Apr 2019 - 7 years ago
Hi Henry,

Thanks for your comment and question.
There's a bassline running throughout the primary loop. It's just higher than some may be used to, however after I fiddled around and changed the key lower, I found that I liked the original key of the loop better. In another version I doubled the loop (added the lower version along with the original) but I kept coming back to this version as the one I liked best. Sometimes less is more :)

on TE1 ft Jenna Evans - Make it Right by TheEnlightenedOne
Enlightened strikes back! Lovely idea to dress Jenna's vocals on a late 80's/early 90's song... the music is very beautiful, but you seem to have forgotten some suggestions that I already gave you on the track with Farisha!

Listening in headphones, I have the impression that Jenna is singing in front of me, while all the music is behind me!

This happens because, probably, you have not entered the compressions in the various patterns. In particular, like in Zombie, the bass seem to be missing, Jenna's voice dominates all the instrumental and the sound, in general, thickens everything in the central part of the stereo field.

My tips: everything that works as a pad is assigned to a wide stereo field, so that it seems to "embrace" the whole song. The bass line must be in mono, all the drumlines must have a more limited stereo field (you can, eventually, add on them a very light reverb or, better, use the parallel compression)

On the snare, especially, which is the most beautiful drumline sound here, you could use a different compression, widening the stereo field a bit and adding a stronger reverb.

Decrease the volume of Jenna's voice, which is already very consistent, so as not to bury the music, you can also create a volume envelopment so you can optimize the mix with the instruments in real time.

Try all this, then let me know!

Yeah I put her in the center with no competing element so I could have afforded to lessen the volume, I was afraid to block her out. I'll revise it and be posting it as soon as I've remastered it. Thanks for lookin out. :)

on Tribal Dnb preview by subSpace
Being this a preview, maybe you had some improvement in your mind, right? So, for the purpose dnb was created, the general volume of the track imho is too low. Despite this, there's a tiny distortion, more audible in the first half of the track. Pump up the volume (dance!dance!), make some noise! More, don't leave too much "Blank Space" at the end, for some reasons i find it pointless ('cause there's a waste of megabaytes available in your account too, mind it!). Last but not least, try to keep a certain thread in track, in my ears this track seems a collage of several tracks. (It's just my opinion, not the absolute truth)

That said, i would like to listen to complete version asap!

on Cha Cha Cha - Ahi Na Ma by Rexsaw
Really like that sound on right side, something similar to Duran Duran's "Save a prayer". Did you re-create it? All the track is kinda tribute to Capricorn's "20Hz", which i like so much!

As i written in the mail yet, YEAAH MAN, YOU GOT IT! Check up for further minor fixing! I'm glad to help you to reach to a pro track!

on OnTheRise by unstableonthetrack
Wonderful atmosphere here... but trap drums imho doesn't fit (maybe because i'm not a fan of trap...) on the other hand, however, the overall quality of the audio is exceptional and no sound prevails over the other, so, despite the beat trap, I really like this track!
unstableonthetrack
unstableonthetrack replied 6th Apr 2019 - 7 years ago
It's funny you say that about the drums actually.. I was experimenting, I had a buddy of mine who's done a lot of work with Slum Village and in particular J dilla so he's a drum nut.. I apparently had an issue where my drums were too loud, or just hitting too much in the mix, they were too vital to the song.. so this time around I tried to make them lower in the mix and just kind of move the song forward versus break it or anything

on same blood different bloodstreams part2 by jobantwisp
Yeah man, so much better than before, but there are further improvement you still can do. For example, it is still hard to understand the verses you declare, and, once again, the low frequencies of the voice are still too strong. Very nice the transceiver effect, however it still makes the lyrics unintelligible. Try this: insert the (same) vocal track on multiple patterns in the rack, for each of these apply different filters, enhancing the mid-high frequencies and cutting off the low ones. Then play them all together and in the mixer you can adjust the volumes on each track, until you find a better sound! If you don't want to do it on the entire song, you can treat the voice within another project, when you're satisfied with the result, export, then add it to the instrumental.
