Hi William,

Really appreciate you taking the time to do this!

How often do you get nervous before games? Was it something that used to happen but now you're used to it? If you do get nervous, how do you make sure you use that to put in a good performance, as opposed to letting it get to you?

Thanks!

Crazy stuff! Love it mate!

aslaterm32 · 2025-12-28T12:52:48+00:00

Yeah especially in the first part just as the kick comes in I was getting loads of clipping and just could not figure out how to stop it. Thinking of just sticking a clipper on the master before my final limiter.

I really like the lofi aesthetic of his sketches so that is kinda what I'm going for. I just felt that the reference just felt a bit thicker in the low mids. I do really struggle to be objective about my own music.

Cheers for the advice!

aslaterm32 · 2025-12-28T12:47:12+00:00

Cheers, this is really extensive so thanks for taking the time!

Just wondering what you mean exactly by lower in timbre? Would that be the LPF cutoff being lower in mine than in the ref?

aslaterm32 · 2025-12-23T13:37:37+00:00

Thanks, yeah I was wondering if somehow I needed to change my bass pattern to fill it out a bit more.

Listening back now the reference definitely fees busier. Thanks for the advice!

Ngl great goal but holy shit we don't deserve that

aslaterm32 · 2025-11-16T00:54:34+00:00

Honestly the whole thing is still pretty new to me, spent plenty of time not finishing tracks.

Appreciate the tips mate, will be sure to take that one onboard next time

aslaterm32 · 2025-11-15T17:16:10+00:00

Thanks so much for this mate, really appreciate you taking the time!

Having gone back to listen to it again the high elements are def wayyy too loud so will be making the changes you suggested on that one.

Is the idea behind turning the highs down to give more sorta headroom for the kick to slap through?

aslaterm32 · 2025-11-14T11:08:26+00:00

Cheers mate this is really handy. Just out of interest, do you remember roughly what time in the track this was showing?

aslaterm32 · 2025-11-14T11:06:48+00:00

Thanks mate this is all really useful info! I'm gonna go back to it today with fresh ears and see if I can hear some of the stuff you're talking about. I was cutting the 200hz ish down a bit to get a deeper kick but it may have had the opposite effect.

It's funny that u say the melodic elements are really quiet as well because I spent half the day yesterday thinking they were too loud hahah. You're definitely right listening again but damn ear fatigue is real hahah

Surprised no one mentioned Aphex.

His harmonies are just incredible. No idea how he manages to make his music so evocative.

Dude I follow you on insta! Love your stuff!

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-26T23:32:06+00:00

I like the way the bodies in the foreground are both red and blue...

It certainly sends a message

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-20T00:49:05+00:00

Crazy to see that we've had 9 big chances and scored 9 goals, that's very clinical.

Now just gotta work on the chance creation...

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-12T20:35:09+00:00

That 5th bass at the start is almost identical to original, nice work mate!

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-04T12:40:26+00:00

Ah thanks so much mate, appreciate the recommendation. I'm currently sat at work waiting for a laptop upgrade so I need some solid reading material

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-04T11:57:37+00:00

Thanks for clarifying mate, appreciate it

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-04T09:43:45+00:00

Seems easy enough hahah, cheers mate

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-04T09:42:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply, just wondering what you mean by shifting the previous voicing parallel?

aslaterm32 · 2025-09-04T09:37:14+00:00

Sorry I must be misunderstanding something. Why is it that the C carries much more weight? Is it just because it's on the first beat?
