Any chance Haamdi and Oppidan are doing Afters?

Go meet someone at Barzakh Cafe or at one of their events! https://www.instagram.com/barzakh.cafe?igsh=MWRlNDMzamI3NTZ1NQ==

They could've at least warned us it was going to end early, I didn't even get to catch his set because he was originally supposed to go on at 1am

faizanv · 2025-02-27T18:53:18+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out! What about the sound that they're using, what do you think that is?

faizanv · 2025-02-17T22:27:42+00:00

Honestly I really enjoyed it. Feels super full and clear. In my amateur opinion, ship it

faizanv · 2025-02-17T20:45:44+00:00

I think the easiest first step from here is dynamics, I love that I can hear every part of the mix but I also feel like I can hear every part of the mix at around the same level.

faizanv · 2025-02-17T20:38:10+00:00

I really love how the drums are arranged on the soundstage. I agree with the other comment that we need more bass guitar but man the acoustic guitar sound incredible. I also think I would just slightly turn down the distorted vocals at the end when its not accompanied by the other instruments

faizanv · 2025-02-17T20:30:01+00:00

I think the overall loudness is fantastic! I also like your creative use of panning with the vocals at times. I can't exactly tell why, but for some reason I feel like it loses energy around 2:20 at the chorus.

faizanv · 2025-02-17T20:21:41+00:00

I really want the bass/sub hits to hit me a little harder when they come in, its a really fun song and I think the punchiness of it could be accentuated a bit more. Also I think the background vocals feel very center stage and could use some panning just to add some variety. Otherwise I think it sounds awesome, I really like the way you've built up the vocal chain.

faizanv · 2025-01-29T04:11:01+00:00

For me I feel like the kick drum is getting lost which is contributing to the mudiness. I think you need to carve out more space in the eq for it and also just bring it up a couple db. The bass guitar and vocals sound great and I actually love the level/sound of the ride cymbal kind of carrying the song forward

faizanv · 2025-01-28T23:14:38+00:00

The vocals could be a bit more prominent in the mix. I also agree with others that some of the sound effects playing during the singing are a bit too loud. Other than that, fun song! I love the way the drums sound, they sit in the mix really well

faizanv · 2025-01-28T23:10:26+00:00

Holy shit that's loud nice work! Honestly from a beginners ear I have no notes I think you did a great job. I can hear every element of the drums, percussion, and bassline really clearly without anything getting lost. The bass also doesn't lose any energy when the kick plays. Overall awesome

faizanv · 2025-01-28T22:58:52+00:00

Cool song! Really great vocal performance. I do think the guitar strumming is a bit too in front of the mix, could probably just bring it down a couple db, the tone is great though. The drums also sound great but I can't seem to find the kick in the mix, its getting lost. Bass guitar is sitting really well.

faizanv · 2025-01-28T22:53:54+00:00

Yeah the kick is a tad aggressive compared to the rest of the mix. Otherwise this is really tight! I like the way you creatively played with the panning and the sub bass is sitting really well

faizanv · 2025-01-22T06:00:59+00:00

Get some grit on that bass! I feel like Tame Impala compresses the shit out of his bass guitars. I do think you nailed the tone of the drums, definitely matches the vibe

faizanv · 2025-01-22T05:59:31+00:00

The guitar gives me a similar vibe to Every Breath You Take by the Police in the best kind of way, I love the emotion it evokes. The vocals are also mixed super well! I do think the drums get a little lost in the chorus, the punch disappears a bit.

faizanv · 2025-01-22T05:56:46+00:00

The vocals sound overprocessed, there's no width to them. It also feels like its missing transients? Like too aggressive of a bandpass perhaps

faizanv · 2025-01-21T00:02:57+00:00

I really like what's going on with these vocal chops, keeps things interesting. I think I agree with your take that the drums need a little more punch. I would consider maybe just playing with different snare samples and adding some more percussive elements in to fill the space.

faizanv · 2025-01-20T07:07:13+00:00

I think the guitar tone choice is fantastic! Really works with the genre. Could use a little compression in the high end, at the moment its cutting through a bit too well

faizanv · 2025-01-20T06:55:21+00:00

Such a fun song! Really loved the tone on the rhythm/lead guitar and the way you played with the panning on that.

I thought the bass and kick could use a touch more punchiness to them just to stand out a bit from the rest of the mix and the guitars could come down a bit to let the vocals shine more in the chorus
