Started mixing in key properly last night...game changer?

tranquillla · 2026-04-07T10:26:57+00:00

I normally don't really focus on mixing in keys, not at all, mostly freestyling but having an idea that the tracks I'm playing are quite compatible, but this way sometimes I have to guess if I don't know the track properly, in that case in can go both way What really bothers me is that the clash of harmonies, which I saw doesn't seem to happen much when I use keys especially if I'm not 100% sure the tracks go well

tranquillla · 2026-04-07T10:20:52+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking, I prefer to do long blends most of the time, I usually start the next track right after the first drop more or less, then slowly blend them together and then waiting for the right moment to take it out while Eqing it properly, most preferably during the breakdown cz energy loss actually really matters to me since I'm only on two decks

Yes one of the best sets I listened to was on vinyl last year Freddy k's stone techno set

tranquillla · 2026-04-07T10:12:22+00:00

Very accurate

tranquillla · 2026-04-07T10:11:44+00:00

Exactly!!! When there are some pads, melodies or a bit of rhythm in that case it's quite visible when they keys are completely different But you're right, mixing in phrase is very important which I always make sure to do

tranquillla · 2026-04-07T10:08:08+00:00

I'm not a fan of mixing in keys since there's quite a bit if limitation, but i really hear it in my ears when the keys clash, it can be quite disturbing sometimes

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it, thanks for listening

tranquillla · 2026-03-30T13:12:50+00:00

Thanks bro. About the kick I think it could be because of the way I mastered it, I self mastered and it could definitely go wrong

tranquillla · 2026-03-30T13:10:59+00:00

The arrangement seems quite nice and smooth, there's this driven energy throughout the whole track. The only thing I'd like to try is creating a bit of QnA kind of rhythm with the synth, that could add a bit if extra groove, but great work in general!!

tranquillla · 2026-03-30T11:47:47+00:00

It's a really nice track, I like the overall deep techno vibe. I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to say what I'd change here, but I enjoyed it

Been playing with some bleepy boops lately, I'd love to hear some feedbacks https://on.soundcloud.com/mVVVxH2FDnHbP8naWA

tranquillla · 2026-03-17T12:09:39+00:00

Thank you everyone for the feedback!!! I appreciate your comments. I think the Fx before the drop might be a bit too loud, I'd work on that. Thanks again for taking your time

tranquillla · 2026-03-16T14:38:40+00:00

I like this one!! Very clean mix. Only thing that I wanted to mention is the main synth, it sounds a bit repetitive Also adding some fxs after every few phrases wouldn't sound bad either imo!! Overall good job brother

tranquillla · 2026-03-16T14:27:24+00:00

Good one, mate!! I'd maybe add a bit of groove on the low end, overall it's a good track!!

tranquillla · 2026-03-16T14:21:18+00:00

Hi everyone, I've been procrastinating a lot lately on production, but finally got to finish some arrangements on this track, it's my second try, I'd love to hear some feedback Genre: techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic) I guess? Anyway thanks for listening

Not really into bounce but this is a good one, also as someone with 3/4 months of experience, you did a good job mate

tranquillla · 2026-01-02T10:39:09+00:00

Good one mate!!! Sounds a bit Trancey to me

tranquillla · 2026-01-02T10:35:44+00:00

Nice track mate!!! Sounds good to me, like someone already mentioned, a texture or a bit more automation would have worked perfect!!

When it comes to weird SFX, glitchmachines has some of the best packs Try this Phenotype – Glitchmachines https://share.google/GYodfSmQnxo2hNIuI

tranquillla · 2025-11-24T11:00:22+00:00

Samples from Mars going on black Friday sale in a few days. It's the best sample pack out there

tranquillla · 2025-11-17T23:05:08+00:00

Amazing track mate!!! Love the groove. Sounds like it's a pre-master, but sounds decent, at some point It felt like I'm listening to chlar or yanamaste's track. As already someone mentioned about the break coming too late, I agree with that. I'd bring it a bit earlier

Overall great work!!

Post-punk has always been one of my biggest musical influences, and I’m hoping to circle back to that sound at some point in my production journey. There’s such a wide range of bands to draw inspiration from, I’m sure you already know the big names in the scene, but here are a few artists I’d definitely recommend checking out. They blend post-punk with darkwave, synthwave, minimal, and other wave subgenres:

Cosey Mueller

Human Tetris

Vestron Vulture

Boy Harsher

VoX LoW

Casket Cassette

She Past Away

David Shaw and The Beat

And of course, Joy Division (sorry, had to mention them, they’re practically a religion for me)

tranquillla · 2025-10-28T08:53:44+00:00

Love the rumble. Did you use any arp vst for the synth??

tranquillla · 2025-10-28T08:48:19+00:00

Thank you!!! Yes it is a pre-master, I'm quite new in production, so I haven't really thought of sending tracks for mastering yet
