Wow, you're really cranking out tunes. I'm always shocked at your output and the relative quality.

I would watch for clipping on the mix, as I hear some. Otherwise I literally have no complaints. Great synthwave track!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо большое! Да, есть проблемы с миксом, а то есть барабаны, например, приглушаются из-за басса и синтов, но я это исправлю. А так спасибо за отзыв, действительно было неожиданно увидеть твой отзыв :)

I'm not sure if this belongs in hip-hop or not. I think so. One thing I would suggest, study a bit of youtube university on mixing levels of drums relative to leads. I would like to hear more of the snare and the kick.

Writing wise, this is pretty fire, and I'd love to hear you revisit it :)

Mmm, here from your news post. That 808 sent me right over here to give you my 5!

I think overall the track could do without the EXTRA hard brick wall block -- look at that waveform, and some cleanup here and there with the low mids, but I understand you were ultra pressed for time! Amazing work considering!

Coming here because this track deserves more love. An absolute vibe.

No real constructive criticism because I have to do life things, but I just finished your EP and left my reply in the forum. The most I can say is that I would look at the wet signals of your reverbs and probably hipass them to 300 hz or so, and I may remove the little what sounds like vinyl clicks or cracks throughout. If you enjoy that, ignore me about removing them, but think about making them a bit quieter. There's nothing in the high frequencies really to make them fit into a wider canvas, imo, so they should be a bit quieter.

EVLanche responds:

Noted, thank you for your input! I will keep that in mind for the future :D

You asked for critique in the audio forum

I don't think music theory wise that this is entirely bad -- up to 31. What's going on is that you have your chords down REALLY low in the piano register. You said everything is in the same key, and I can hear that. What's happening is that the low notes are clashing with one another because of register, not because of tonality.

I also love jazz, so those "wrong notes" coming in toward the outro are actually my favorite part of the song.

Try writing less congested chords (not so many notes) if you want to write in the lower register, and if you like them being congested, try moving parts up 12 semitones (1 octave) and see if you still think they don't fit. That's all I got.

Also, this track is really quiet. Try learning a bit about mastering while you're at it. A simple boost in volume and a brick wall limiter would suit well in the case of this track, which is not very complex. The volume level to me is more off putting than anything you did compositionally. I think it's okay!

SuitedBroccoli responds:

thanks (:

В основном, трек хорош. Слышу и понимаю сразу, почему ставили на ФП. Ответ на твой вопрос -- что менять. Я бы уменьшила громкость звуков воды -- кажется что это капли воды слева и справа. И тажке будь внимателен, чтобы не очень часто те же самые сэмплы повторять, если они легко узнать. И это все. Думаю что кроме них, все ровно сидит в миксе. Тщательно ты выбрал остальные пресеты, модуляции, параметры сайдчейн итд. Возможно я бы делали мелодии чуть погромче, но было просто класс.

Продолжай!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо большое за отзыв! Хорошо, я постараюсь учесть эти ошибки в дальнейшем.

I think this is more midtempo than synthwave, but nailed it. Despite whatever mixing deficiencies -- studying some professional mixing and mastering will help you there - I like this version better. In general I think the 250 hz and below of the bass would do well to be centered, the bass come down just a bit, and snare come up in the mix.

SevenChakras responds:

this was from 3 years ago, a bit late for that type of feedback lmfao

I think taking down the reverb on your intro would do wonders for your mix, or at least hipassing the wet signal to 250 hz or so. The low end is muddy with all the keys playing low register, particularly low mid.

I'm not sure this is dubstep going into 1:14 but I'm open to having my mind changed!

Okay, 1:25, mind is changed

I would recomment taking down some of the wet on your metallic synth, or adding a more tonal synth there -- they are spreading out in the stereo field and not punching me in the face like I feel they should!

Sub sounds like it's at an appropriate level but needs something to sit on top of it.

Your next section at 2:27 suffers from the same as the intro, but I would raise the sub some and bring out the trap snare a bit more, perhaps spread the hihats out more panning wise and get some delays or something going there. A lot of the effect I think you're looking for with that reverb wash could be achieved with delay :)

Either way, really interesting track. Keep doing what you do!

ОФИГЕТЬ -- басс такой жирный, прямо в лицо ударит. Думаю что около минутки 1 надо исправить некоторые уровни громкости -- например ревербераций. Они должны падать вниз или немножко сокращать продолжительность, чтобы компрессор правильно звучал. Сжатие довольно жесткое, и думаю что также можешь его уменьшить лишь чуть чуть -- чтобы вторая часть трека сохранила свой динамический контраст.

Но в общем, мне очень понравился трек.

G2961 responds:

Хорошо! Спасибо за расширенный отзыв!
Да я в принципе знал про то, сжатие прямо жёсткое, просто я как-то делал ремикс нехотя и у меня не было идей на продолжение.

Going to write this review in english -- there are some concepts I would have trouble explaining in Russian.

In general, this is nice, blazing fast DnB. A few things I would adjust -- take wet reverb down somewhat, apply slightly less compression so the track does not appear to be a sausage. In general this will allow for more clarity and the bass to cut through.

Needs a bit more sub/bass, and attention to detail of the phase of the bass -- see that when the kick and snare come in, if there is no sidechain applied, that it does not cause the kick OR the bass to decrease in volume. Deselecting random phase generation/position on oscillator can assist this. Then manually slide the start of the waveform until the problem is no longer present. I'm not sure if that's happening here since the waveform is so fat, but it could be, as I notice just a bit of thinness in the bass.

I actually would like a deeper, lower kick, and a higher pitched, more classic snare. Be careful also that your hihats and other percussion are a bit cleaner. The amount of verb on the track and instruments sharing this frequency range are clouding things up a bit. Great job not having them super sibilant. No ear pain achieved))))

Overall I love the energy of this track. Two thumbs up from me
