    Hi have produced a track and I want you guys to master it and enhance it. I want to see how different people listen to a track and perceive as an overall sound and what they find in the song missing and try to enhance it.

    I would appreciate your time on this.

    Download song here :

    From what it seems like you just want someone to master the track for you....

    I would, if you can upload it in splitted tracks. 16 bit should be sufficient :break:

    Honestly I think you've done a fantastic job of mixing the track. To me there are probably just some minor EQ balance issues in some parts, such as the big synth breakdown. But overall the composition is great and like I said you have a good mix. In my opinion very little would have to be done to this track in terms of mastering, just touches here and there.

    I agree with fuad, this song is well mixed. Maybe add some panning automation in the min 2:30 where the synth has B minor chords and the strings enter, to create a moving effect.

    Hi. good work. however to me it seems that you applied some heavy compression and limiting on the master track. make sure the meter peaks at -10 or -6db on the master track before final export. other than that it sounds well balanced, i'd just use a saturator or clipper to bring up the level to commercial level. i think it's very important not to compress/limit the master track before final mixdown. but thats just me of course. you dont want to kill important peaks and transients.

    Well, ok, I thought "Let's have some fun" and see what I'd come up with in a few minutes. I didn't really want to mess too much with it (no automations). Just made a pass on the raw material. After a point it's mostly up to taste anyway... I made three different iterations (a little can go a long way, anyway...). But I guess these will serve your purpose of seeing what one could potentially focus on.

    (And yes, the raw track is a bit too processed)
