    edit: new version


    Any and all comments welcome. Be it "it's horrible" to "tune the kick drum" to whatever.
    Anyway, thanks for listening.

    I liked it a lot.
    My only feedback would be, you have great sequences but you made hardly any transitions at least not in the first 4,5 minutes.

    The sequences are great so they can take repetition to achieve that nice high, but maybe filter at least something in it? A delicate rise, something, just slightly just to give a feeling of being on a journey and not give away that its going to bee "loops" all the way.

    But, very nice job!

    Yes, you're absolutely right. I wanted it to be some kinda freeform thingie without the rigid 8 bar structures. But i guess some transitions and fills are needed. Thanks for the nice feedback!
    My other tracks on soundcloud are more traditionally arranged.

    I don't know how to even approach experimental since it's, well, experimental. I like the push and pull bouncy feel it has though, interesting sounds too, but holy kick drums that low end is murderous, in a bad way.

    That percussion loop and your kick are not glued, it sounds pretty sloppy galloping.. the initial keys kinda has a toy keyboard vibe. the sequences are pretty static, you need to be changing things up and modulating wayyy more. Send me stems, hit me up inbox.

    Thanks! I'll keep working on it and then maybe send you the stems. You got any of your own stuff online?
    And thanks mk_96! Too much sub on the kick or what is the problem?

    Edit:As for the toy keyboard vibe, it's supposed to be low fi.

    it's pretty strange but once you get past it, it's cool. it's easier to listen to when the vocal is running, because there is a point of reference.
    There are a few spots where some of your drum/loops sound like a record being mixed off-beat; around 5:50 is a clearer example, but there are other instances like it in the earlier parts of the track. It's probably on purpose, but it does stick out a bit. Are you adding realtime edits in it? anyway, this version sounds better.

    Yeah, the "drummer" is supposed is to be hopelessy drunk. Or rather the Linn60 is in much in need of repair. As i said i wanted something chaotic as opposed to the more rigid structures of the other tracks online here: https://soundcloud.com/talkinghouses
    Thanks for your time!

    very nice . There is always something to be said about a track but I’ll limit myself to just say you have done a very nice job. If possible I would give it to a professional mixer for the last embellishment. Cheers

    Yup, somewhere between 40 to 30Hz. Since it's experimental i can't really say it's bad on it's own, the only reason why i say it's a bad thing is because there isn't really something that's countering the weight enough, so it feels a lot like someone's taking a beating and the punches are burrying everything else, while the overall feel of the song tells me it should lean more towards the bouncy, energic but lethargic side.

    I use Bassroom which has improved my mixes 1000% (tough maybe not this one). Got a subpar room and only Alesis Monitor One MK 2.
    This is the setting for this track. Sounds good here but i'll try it on different boxes and devices. Maybe i'll just try different kicks. 1.png

    Not sure how you hear it, but try with this curve and see if it feels more clear
    [​IMG]

    Other than that it has a certain wild energy, your other tracks are balanced and have the groove so, keep it going!

    *
    Now that i hear your other SC tracks thru this eq curve, i think you are expiriencing what everyone always has to deal with, mud and masking + low end which further masks your top end leaving it on the edge of being to bright.

    When i try listening to your tracks without this eq i dont have a feeling on wanting to continue listetning, but after applying i can actually enjoy.

    Maybe i am completly wrong and tired.

    I am using the latest FabFiter bundle? Ah well, I'll try to match your settings manually. Thanks.
