id greatly appreciate feedback its my first track ever made. thanks

 

PERSONALLY its a lil boring to me, and the accidentals throw it off to me, at least. keep on keepin on though do you. i do stuff thats polar opposite of you but check my previews and demos out https://soundcloud.com/robbie-parker-5

 

I think it sounds really cool. What I heard was interesting to listen to and I would like to hear more. I am following you on Soundcloud and awaiting great things.

 

haha i understand im a lil ADD with music haha ur stuff is the opposite but i enjoy it! keep on keepin on to you to

 

thank you very much! appreciate it! and i am following u back to superliquid im digging your i dont know why she loves me track good stuff!

 

holy crap your voice sounds like genesis p orridge!

crazy ass song man, mastered too loud though, youre losing alot of the sound to distortion

try to mix well below 0 and then you can just let the limiters do the hard work for you when you master it after you mix it

cheers man

btw you should change your name to Jon Tovi to piss off Bon Jovi

 

hahaha thank you so much! and yea i suck at mastering im just trying to pull it off with raising some gain on logics compressor on the master fader lol

 

Unique tune so far! Sounds are other worldly. I agree with frito as far as mix and mastering goes.
Don't be afraid to keep it low on the gain!
Always better to have people turn your music up because it's too low than to turn it down because it's too loud/distorted.

 

thank you! and thank you for the advice i just dont know the line between too loud and too low!

 

It's really all about your pref is you ask me. There are industry standards most musicians follow but it's really all up to you. For ex, most top notch mastering agencies always ask to make sure your track is at -6db when you send it in to get mastered. Thus, leaving alot of headroom for them to master. I also ask the same when I master.

You never wan't to get anywhere near 0db before you master your track or even before you slap a limiter on the master channel.
A VERY easy way to do this is to keep a close eye on your kick. Your kick should be the loudest sound in your whole mix. The only thing I keep close to the volume to my kick is my snare/clap. Roughly, my kicks are at -6db and my Snare/clap is at -5.5db(stereoized out wider than my kick just to make sure the two don't conflict).
If you keep your kick pumping at -6db and keep all your other sounds under your kick then your mix should be solid. This is also a good way to keep sounds from ducking/clipping unintended.

After you have your basic mix pumping a -6b you can master it. If you're not good at mastering you can always do as frito said and throw a limiter on your master channel and let that round out your bands for you. Limiters usually come with a good default setting if you're not too sure about how to tweak the parameters of the limiter properly I would just leave it at default.

If you ever have any questions feel free to msg me on here or my email. I'm always willing to help anyone with aspirations to be a musician.

 

wow this is very helpful gerald. ill be checking my master fader from now on to make sure that meter is hitting -6db and nothing up! lol and thanks for the limiter advice i never really looked into that. ill deff check it out!
