    What about the way the track has been mixed?

    It's definitely domain of abstraction :)

    :like: :like: from me.

    I particularly like the instrumentation.....mainly the piano and strings in the second half of the track.
    Mix wise i am not an expert but it sounds full and crystal and crisp to me.....NICE !:hifive:

    Can't advise you about the mixing but sounds good to me. Do it again ;-)

    Agreed

    MAN... This was an AWESOME sonic voyage... Incredible song. (And to my ears, the mix sounded very crisp and balanced). Congrats and thanks for sharing!

    I like the bold mix in instrumentation! Not my genre, but this kept my attention!

    Hi,

    to be honest I can't criticize the music/composition because I just never heard something like this before, so... :dunno:

    But when it comes to the mix and it's technical aspects, I can tell you a lot of things you did are ok, but you messed some others.

    I made some real adjustments in the phase, some smaller in the frequencies and added a limiter for the :) effect.



    And I cut that peak at the beginning.

    @No Avenger

    I always look at correlation meter during finalization process and, I'm sure, this time the problem is related to a synth patch/sample (Cakewalk Rapture_Pro) and i don't know how to fix it.

    Maybe I have to move to NI Kontakt and use its libraries.

    You (all of you) are free to suggest me whatever could improve my skill. :wink:

    If you want to avoid those issues already look at it when choosing sounds. Right from the start. If I'm right there are more than one sounds phase-critical. Mostly fx are responsible for that.
    Or you used stereo expansion in the main out. That's not a good idea, even if you use a multiband widener. Better choose some, even better only one sound on which you apply a bit of widening. If you want to avoid it.
    But as my signature says: Your noise your choice.
