Yo @Arelem,

I immediately started to freestyle over this beat, which is always a good sign. Will listen to it after work on my main monitors and will give you some feedback!

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC090 February 2023 - Mix Round 2 until until 14-MAR-2023 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hello Cristian, thank you for picking my mix for round 2! Changes I made: GTR acoustic solo: yes, the track was dry without any fx. I tried several reverbs and delays but the Lexicon 224 worked best to my ears. It has a pre-delay of 44ms (1/64th) to give it the room it needs, now it fills up a littl...

So, here is my feedback: Arelem Great atmosphere, very dark with a lot of power in the hook. The synth pad in the verse part however is more soft in the background, this creates a huge dynamic gap in the instrumental but this is filled with the energy of you rapping pretty hard over the beat. Your f...

So, here is my entry for this month. The name of the song is "Trap House", the lyrics are in German. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W-T6RZJ0qO_g6OYzGYRkIs1MB4RGYYk_?usp=share_link I went for that modern trap sound from artists like Future or Drake. I really wanted to add some lyri...

Hey guys, I just want to give you feedback from a mixing POV of what I can hear: denny7794: It has a lot of spicky and clicky sounds, so I would lower the hihat, tambourine and crashes. The robotic voice should therefore become more audible kukobass: I think the mallet sound needs a little bit more ...

Hi all, This is the music I wrote for SWC066. It is not finished yet...by far. I'm working on the vocals (I really want vocals to be part of it but I'm not a rap artist.....but I've already wrote the lyrics....a couple of versions already). I'm used to writing songs on guitar with intro, verse, cho...

Nice song! I had a lot of fun while mixing. I used all the amped tracks for the mix. I first created busses for the keys, guitars, background vocals, toms, percussion, overheads and room mics and stacked them with the drum bus, the bass and the lead vocal to a Premix bus. After gain staging, panning...

Hello All, Here is what I have so far. I'm still trying to think of ways to improve it, but I wanted to see what you all thought. The lyrics are very tongue-in-cheek 'complaining' about the minor inconveniences in life. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mJIz4LCJ40EdD7R2v5Ubr4XYJWWs8he_/view?usp=shar...
