Okay, thanks for clarifying! I'll work on an upload an "option B" of the track and post when done. I appreciate the help!

Just for clarification: 1. "Remove unnecessary stuff". If I try to remove say, saturation or compression from my midbass bus and I find it loses the vibe, only then do I keep that? 2. "Remove saturators, compressors etc everywhere". Related to step one, if I find my bass line or something...

Hey, I appreciate you liking the musical aspects! I've been loving your work, do that's definitely a wonderful compliment! I'm familiar with that youtuber, he's one of my favorites specifically because of his focus on dance music without being one for those "how to make your latest EDM banger"...

Hey! Apologies for the delay in responding! You might be right that I overdid it, I'm gonna see how things sound with a toned down compression overall, maybe I'll play with keeping it on certain buses, but dialed back, and completely removing it from others. I did add Saturation (Decapitator)...

You may very well be right? I don't think my ears are developed enough to totally know when I'm overdoing compression, saturation, or both. As you're hearing it, there's a compressor on my master bus (2:1, 2db reduction at most), as well as Logic's "bitcrusher" set to 24 bit, 1x downsampling...

Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year! Wishing Everyone a happy, healthy, and peaceful year. I could use some ears on this track. I started working on it back in October and have revised it entirely close to 8 times now. I'm personally quite happy where it's at for the most part, but truth be told...

I'll be honest, I kind of struggle to choose a kick! I'll often pick one to start with that, on its own, I think sounds nice, but halfway through making the track I realize is terrible in context and have to pick a new one. That happened in this case, and while I have no issue with "steroidy"...

Hey man, first of all I'm familiar with your work and very much appreciate you taking to time to listen and comment! Means a lot to get encouragement from you! I have some musical background, but not exactly formal. I played piano (not very well) for a few years as a kid, and guitar as a...

Hey guys! Been producing for about 10 months, and in the 12 or so projects I've made I had yet to actually finish any. I set myself the challenge of tackling a little remake/rework/cover of Ben Hemsley's "Golden Buddha". The main goal was to knock this thing out and actually finish it within a...

Thank you, that's encouraging! And yeah, this is all just a buildup essentially. The second melody that comes in around the 2:30 mark (the sort of "call and response section) is going the be the main riff/melody for the climax. I'm still messing with the structure, but wanted to get the buildup...

I would actually be open to hearing about my mix issues. 100% it's just gonna take time, but if you have certain critiques or tips, I'd love to hear them honestly. Also, can you elaborate on the fx/transition stuff? Is it too much, too loud? What exactly is your suggestion?

Good afternoon everyone, I started dipping my toes into producing earlier this year. Currently working on my 6th or 7th attempt at a track, and hoping to actually finish it. I've uploaded a clip of the track, it's only a snippet of the first 1/2 of the track (before the breakdown). This is...
