I've been spending all day making this track right here, I hope you all enjoy it! Some input would be positively great

Keep in mind that I'm 16 years old and have been producing since November 1st, 2010.

Soundcloud

Dang man you got me beat haha that eleanor rigby remix is dope as hell! The build is perfect, if anything make light a slight pause before the drop at 2:30 to add dramatic effect, but other than that you got it dude

I wouldn't say I've got you beat, man, we're two different styles! You're very great at what you do! I'll be sure to do that, I hadn't thought of that at all! Thank you for the input I really appreciate it

No problem man, I like giving feedback as much as I do getting it

As do I, you get to hear new songs and new styles and help out fellow musicians! I edited that drop, like you said, does it sounds a little better?

You got a really good sound goin on here, just checked out your other tracks, really feeling 'The Key'.
And your only 16! Wow, make sure you keep this up!!!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my music! Oh I most definitely will, I'm currently in the middle of switching schools and won't be attending school until next year. So I've got all day every day to myself to make music while everyone's at school, it's all I do! I love it haha. Yet again, thank you!

Nice Intro. Not bad for half a year experience in producing. Use a little bit more of EQ for the single sounds to fit them more in the mix. And don't overuse compression/limiting too much, it sounds a little bit overdriven.

Okay, thank you for the input!

dude...

ur concept is cool...

realy nice sound u got there !

try to work on ur mixdown skills...

u will find many answers in this great forum !


greetz...

I uploaded a newly mastered version of it, it should sound a little better. Thank you for linking me to that thread, Xenik, I appreciate it.

Sounding nice, I like how the mid synth isn't protruding right out like most do.
Works really well.

Also nice kick and snare sound man! Well done!

Aye I wanted it to sort of melt into the background and just fill in spaces! I'm glad you liked the tun, thank you

Nice man! The instrumentation is really, really cool. Glad to hear that although you're pretty new to producing you've still got a musical ear and remix in key. Also nice to hear that you've started in a nice area of Dubstep not the filth.

This is actually a pretty damn good remix! The only major criticism I have with this track (in fact, all of your tracks I hate to say ) is that you're either going too hard with the distortion on your sounds or you're doing something horribly wrong to make everything really distorted. If it's a desired effect then seriously consider pulling back on it a bit because it's so much distortion that it doesn't sound intentional. If it isn't intentional then make sure you're keeping your channels below 0dB (including the master), working in the highest possible quality bit and sampling rate your computer can handle and bouncing your tracks in high quality too. Music of this quality shouldn't be so masked by the poorness of this audio quality.

In terms of production, I'd say maybe pull the punch of that kick out a little more. Find its sweet spot in the frequency spectrum (likely somewhere between 90-200Hz) and use a low Q EQ to pull it out a bit, then roll off the bottom until you notice that it's getting weak and then pull it back a tiny bit so that it's still got its underlying power. Then add a bit of compression to bring out the peak transient. This would probably involve a fairly light compression for drums (3:1ish) with a high attack so that the peak transient isn't really being compressed, and then give it a fair amount of release so that the compressor takes a while to stop working (around half way/12 o clock). Add some gain to add some character to the transient edit and then use your channel mixer to bring the kick back down into the mix.

Hope this helps dude, look forward to hearing your progression!

Thank you very much for the in depth input and great advice! I did basically all that you advised (aside from the drum part, that's going to take me a while since I'm so new with all this haha) and I replaced the file on Soundcloud, I hope it does sound a tad bit better. I'll keep working at it! Thanks again for all the great advice man.

I now edited the kick!

It's cool man, glad to have helped. I actually remixed this tune a couple of years ago but never finished the mix-down lol. Maybe some day I'll get my version out!

good effort man, can image it would be tricky to do!
Liking the style of the track, very interesting
nice lead to

Thank you very much!

Bumpity bump.
