Trying to make a dub a day. This was yesterday's. Hope you like it. I think it turned out sick.

Id suggest spending a lot more time than one day per track. You can hear that not much love went into this. Everything sounds flat and over compressed, and the track has absolutely no dynamic range to it what so ever. If you spend more time on each piece you will benefit greatly.
Quality not Quantity my friend

I agree, but I'm doing this as an excercise more for songwriting, not production or to actually make these tracks popular. If I really dig them, I go back and turn them into real tunes. All the songs from my song a day project are in a separate folder from my real tracks. Its been making me step outside of my songwriting comfort zone and play with genres I'm normally not interested in such as wubstep for this track. Duly noted on the compression though. It does make the track sound dry. I hard maximized to give it that brostep sound.

Baleeted the old one and put up a real song, fit for real human ears hopefully. This one uses craftier compression, lots of sidechaining, I've added in a sample, and given the whole mixdown a second lookthru to make the track sound wider and put more focus on stereo image.
