I NEED AN OBJECTIVE OPINION... MY EARS ARE SHOT.

Post by trelax » Wed May 28, 2008 10:33 pm

First complete track... I don't know a LOT about mastering and EQ, just trust my ears more or less. PLEASE give some advice. For example, I feel like the vocals get lost in the climax of the middle breakdown, and I hate that. I'm also not at all satisfied with the dynamic properties of my synths so used them sparingly. Give a listen eh?

Thanks for the crits in advance...

Hi mate,
Good work there.
I like the track because it's quite eccentric and unpredictable.
It seems like you've not followed any rules or monotonous formulas which some of us seem to do alot.
I hear some really well produced stuff on the forums but alot of it's predictable shite.
As for your production, I'm really no expert myself but I'd say that some of the effects/vocals are placed out too far left and right, the effects seem to be too wet and that all of your mids-highs are a little too loud with not enough low end presence. I'm not sure about the clap but in a way it sounds good because it's bad if you know what I mean.

You got to make some @@@@ed up video for this, this is great stuff! Its a little on the light side ...bass reinforcements would be cool.

I like it because it does have vocal elements in it, and that the vocals are simple , creepy, and cool. I think she could have gotten upset or frustrated though!

hay, if your using phones to make stuff ...keep it under 80 dbs.

cheers.
