Well if you know me-I'm a mix stickler. I poke fun of even the best mixes. As for this song I believe there are a few things you should look for in the future. One being relative volume between instruments(very very minor in this song). The other is the density of your song.

At certain times like intros and what not its nice to have a thinner density but one thing I noticed when you switched into using quater kicks (the main drop one might call it) the kicks remain the same instead of maybe a fatter louder kick and indeed theres no bassline at all so the motion seems to stay the same. Just some things to look into. Because its a bit thin of a density the mix is not as evidently off but still EQ research wouldn't hurt!

I love the song though so keep being awesome and as always, Cheers!

Indeed your heart is in the right place. The song itself is well handled and sounds great on many aspects, but the mix could definitely be improved. I would love to hear certain melodies EQ'd correctly so that they are all present. You are welcome to PM me or email me ([e-mail]) if you would like help on some aspects of EQing and using certain effects. Otherwise keep being awesome, Cheers,

[TB - Worst Way(Watch Me)]

Well the rapper has got it down but the song is lacking technically. Two main things I noticed that need work. 1-I would edit out all the breath inhales of the vocals because they are very present and hurt the rhythm. 2 - The mix needs some cleaning up. It's very muddy.

Really I see a lot of potential in this though so keep it up and work on studying mixing and mastering. Cheers,

MC-Q responds:

Thanks LD :D
And yeah I was looking for mastering tips lately and were gunna start silincing our breaths and things.

But thanks hope you keep listning for more

[Going Wrong [Surge Mix]]

...

You know not many people have the attention span to listen to a percussive intro like this one, but I thought you pulled it off fairly well. I would take off the effect on the drums you drop in around 25-28 seconds though or time it better for a drop. Also the kick drum, once fully in the song, is a beat on the weaker side. Maybe some boosting around 70-90hz on it would give the song a much fuller feel. Otherwise in general the song works. Keep at it good sir. Cheers!

I appreciate it. I knew I was taking a gamble, not being nearly good enough to make a 9min song sound that good..

Would be excellent for a goa trance style song. maybe cutoff some of the lows end freqs on the kick (<100hz) to give it more of an intro type of feel then bring it back with a solid bassline drop when you feel its ready. Keep workin at it! Cheers!
