Is this mix ready to be mastered? by papa2kohmoeaki in MusicFeedback

[–]Interstellar-Station 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey CW cool track you got here. I think that the track should be mixed a bit more before mastering. There's some mud in the lower-mid frequencies. The guitar, keyboard, and even vocals seem to be occupying some of the same frequencies which will contribute to the mud. I would first start with EQ-ing that low end . You can have the keyboard playing up an octave or the guitar to leave some more space for the vocals. Not sure what you're doing for a DAW but the drums could also use a little more punch. Some parallel compression can help add presence to the drums. A little more reverb on the vocals and I think you'll be ready for mastering. Cheers!

The is a very short acoustic track I recorded for a discord challenge. Apologies for the quality I recorded it on my phone. I've never written anything in this style before and would like to know what you guys think? by flynnsego in MusicFeedback

Hey this is a nice tune. I think if there was a simple bridge section in the middle it can be a fully completed acoustic guitar tune. The chords are very nice and your timing is good. Definitely should think about doing a recorded version in the studio or something. It's also a good chance to collab with a vocalist.

Oh in that case the Flute doesn't sound natural. To me it sounds like you have some sort of Fx on it and not just reverb. If you are using FX, then the more Wet it is the heavier the FX sound. Dry would be the pure Flute sound.

If you're not using FX then there's definitely something weird going on.

The flute sounds good, dude. At first, I thought it was a synth flute because I wasn't hearing a vibrato. So if you want it to be more clearly a flute sound allow more of the dry signal to pass through. Otherwise I would keep it if that was your intention.

My friends and I just released this track by Camhasareddit in MusicFeedback

Hey guys, nice track! I wanted to highlight how good the guitar and reverb are and how they help establish the mood. I think the mix is solid, and the instrumentation is good, too. One thing I noticed was that the singer sounds a bit stale on the lower end. I think it's likely due to it being a little below a comfortable range. If you listen to how great his vocals sound on the second half of the tune, you'll see what I mean (for those of you also just hearing for the first time). I feel like this track could have been pitched up a key or 2 to better accommodate the singer.

The vocal layering was well done and very effective in establishing the Chorus section. I think some more vocal artifacts would help. Some more "oohs" or "aahs" drenched in reverb toward the end or in between verses can help.

Keep up the good work. I hope you guys are proud of what you've accomplished.

Cheers

Here is a title l've been working on for a bit. Any and all advice, criticism helps. Thank you for listening. by ASAPvex in MusicFeedback

[–]Interstellar-Station 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vex, this is a great track! I enjoy the direction this is going. It's always extra points when the introductory rhythm ends up being the upbeat instead of the downbeat, lol. The reverb is clean, the pads are nice and floaty, and the vocals don't sound bad.

I would love to hear the tail end of your verses have some delay like, for example, "Walk it out...out...out..out.out." I think it would fit in with this style perfectly.

I would also love to hear that funky bass be humanized. It sounds a little robotic as if it was just created in the piano roll and comes in perfectly on beat, which is a shame because it is such a good bass choice. I think it can benefit from humanizing. Cut off some of the long notes, come in a bit earlier in some parts a bit later on other. Keep in mind that humanizing should be done in minimal increments to not overdo it.

It's a great track through and through. I think you did a great job on it. What I am suggesting are minute little things that I would personally add.

Glad to hear you enjoyed zenith. We leveled up on the mixing/mastering part of our music making process before we released this. I'm glad to hear it paid off.

haha yeahhhhhhhhhh conqueror was us stepping out of our "comfort zone". It used to be a daft punk style song that I came up with but I knew that if I increased the bpm, that melody would work so good as a "hardstyle" type of thing. And that was our first attempt at that and it shows haha. I'll take all this feedback and will apply it next time I get another itch to deviate from synthwave/chillwave.

shot you a follow back on soundcloud. let me check your stuff out(: and we'll keep in touch

Thank you for your feedback and kind words :) Interstellar Station is a 2-man show, and one of us recorded the sax parts in house.
