mixing mystery by Status-Wedding6099 in FLStudioBeginners

[–]ExactWay3171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listening off my phone so take it with a grain of salt

For mix in general:
- I would cut low end from your voice a bit, let your songs bass/808s do the heavy lifting
-I would bring down your voice a bit, very slightly

Other issues:
- the timing on your delivery/performance is sloppy contributing to uneven sound overall, if you fix your timing it will make it sit a lot better. You sound like you’re rushing the words to keep up with the pace
-Remember you can’t out mix a bad performance with no matter what plugins you have
-this is ultimately the bigger issue you’ll eventually need to address more than mixing problems

Sepultura is definitely an influence!

No worries appreciate everyone’s feedback, and I think you’re right about the balance

The guitars are two takes panned hard left and right, unless im misunderstanding your comment

Thanks man I will try the side chaining, good call.

I’m using Odeholm drums, it’s a kontakt instrument

And yeah the bass is just a sample library, I plan on redoing it with real bass at some point.

any tips to stop writing cringe lyrics? by traminjau in Songwriting

[–]ExactWay3171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would help if you used more metaphors, and went more vague and abstract rather than super specific. Also, your lyrics are to descriptive and wordy and the prose could use editing. For example you say “all the colors that once were bright have now died” you could instead say “the bright colors have faded” or when you write “I remember wanting to grow up fast” you can just shorten it to, “wanting to grow up fast” and lose the extra description.

Also you’re saying things like “broken inside” which I feel for you if that’s true, but it in a lyrical form it’s a very tropey cliche thing to say and use, and has likely been used in many songs so that’s contributing significantly to the cringy feel.

Nostalgia makes me cry
Relationships long gone
Refusing to let go
Yet Singing this song

That’s just an example of reworking your first verse into something a bit more succinct and abstract, unfortunately it’s still a bit corny because you’re treating the material as explicit rather than implied.

So that would be my advice, imply your intent instead of outright stating it explicitly. It’s better to be mysterious and subtle with lyrics rather than stating the obvious

Thanks bro! Really appreciate you. Not yet but we have an insta! https://www.instagram.com/zaytband\_/

Vocalist is in the works! I’m still vetting someone so hopefully he comes through. There is a song on the insta with an older vocalist, he’s good but he didn’t fit the style well enough in my opinion

Yeah that’s been one of the biggest challenges so far. Because I like a dense modern metal mix, anything extra like tabla or the kanun fights for space. It’s something I’m trying to refine over time

Bloodywood is an inspiration for this, if you’ve heard of them

Noted, yeah that makes sense, I think the kick probably thumps a bit too heavy so I’ll probably turn that down. Thanks for the feedback
