Hi dudes! my first post here, dance-electronic-shit.
I'm a totally newbie in the making music software, I've been playing drums since I have 6 years old but never tried this since 3 months now. I did a couple of songs and I think I've some good ideas in the making but I cant get a good quality sound. I've been checking some tracks here in the forum and I listened some great sounds so I hope you guys could help me giving me some tips
This is my cloud, I uploaded a new song today. let me know what you think.

thanks man, I've been hearing your bandcamp this morning, I listened both tracks and really liked it. Just a quick question for you. How do you do to get that cleany sound man?? As you can hear in my tunes they're kinda dirty (in a sounding way). I know its a mixing issue but if you can give me some advises about it, special ableton moves (lol) or something it'd be really helpful.
thanks for taking the time to listen

i'm not 100% sure but are you using a high pass filter for any tracks that aren't either a kick or bass?Jowel Beets wrote:thanks man, I've been hearing your bandcamp this morning, I listened both tracks and really liked it.

Re: Hi dudes! my first post here, dance-electronic-shit.
I think I'm not man, I mean, I've been just using ableton 8 instruments to do the songs. I'm sure you will laugh about my newbieness but... where can I get/do that?? I dont know if I can get a low/high pass filter from ableton instruments/effectskanuck wrote:i'm not 100% sure but are you using a high pass filter for any tracks that aren't either a kick or bass?Jowel Beets wrote:thanks man, I've been hearing your bandcamp this morning, I listened both tracks and really liked it.

I try to eq to the specific strengths of each instrument. I want each instrument to occupy its own space in the mix so I eq accordingly.

just use eq8. It'll improve your mixes instantly. But don't overdo it. I also hear the abuse of the high pass filter and some amateur mixes sound really brittle and thin from over "highpassing". My general guideline is highpass everything except for the kick and bass.

Re: Hi dudes! my first post here, dance-electronic-shit.
oh thanks for listening to it man, the structure is kinda messy, it needs something but I dont know what, so I was like "I'm tired of you bitch" and stopped to work on it. I need to learn how to mix and mastering it.Ged Leitch wrote:china lady has some super sounds man - really enjoyed listening to it!!

Check out the Ableton mastering chains. They are fantastic tools.
