Need some advice on a track... PLEASE

[Jimmyprice]

Hey every one Im trying to make a jackin house track. Its kind of an indian style track mixed with a jackin house haha its hard to explain but for some reason i cant make it sound how i want it. It sounds weak and kind of plain, it would be great if some1 could give it a listen and give me some advice on beefing it up or maybe a link to some tutorial videos/forums? Cheers i would appreciate any advice a lot

Ok, it's kinda hard to try and 'fix' your track without having controls but i'll give it a try
The vocal that starts at the beginning could use a little bit of reverb to make it sound deeper richer and less plain. The toms that come in then either need a rise in gain or you need to EQ them because now they are a bit too soft.
Then the drum part, the drums are too tender for this track I think. You would want a more powerful, louder kick. Then turn up the volume of the hi-hats a bit in comparison to the rest of the mix and stretch them now and then for variety. Delay on the percussion is also a nice effect to use. I think this will already make quite a difference,

Hope my advice helps you,

Sander

+ 1 for (light) reverb on the vocals.

there's a compression trick called New York Drums or some such...

that might give you the beef you seek.

If you apply that, you will likely have to remix the other elements... 'Save As' before hand and give the set a new name... then go to town - the big apple.

Also, it sounds kind of sparse about 40 seconds in... maybe add something there??? I dunno, but don't let that vocal carry the mix. You have more talent then that vocal sample will ever give you credit for.

my .02 I don't know shit about House music... I'm usually wasted when I listen to it.
