Roboboy 3,771 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is a demo of a song I'm doing - the mix is rough but I've really tried to nail the production on this - I've been working on it for about three weeks, and it's starting to annoy me at the point where I've heard it so many times I'm sick of it! I need some external opinions on it. The harmonies in the bridge are probably my favourite part about it - but I just can't seem to figure out the snare not taking up too much space in the mix and it's just....ugh. What do you think? Would you ever bop to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Rose 5,638 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It's wild how good this is. You did this by yourself? You're very talented. That's one of the best songs I've ever heard from an artist here, and this is only a demo. Woah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvador Sequea 813 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Is this a 'demo' though? 'cause it sounds like an already finished song to me. I can hear some quality production on here Good job!! Can I add how proud I am for our fanbase I don't see this level of creativity in other fandoms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepentingSinner 2,642 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Definitely very good. Yeah the mix is rough, seems a bit mid heavy to me, lacking high end. The vocal mix some places seems it just sits a bit too much on top of the track instead of blending in, while other times the lyrics gets lost in the song. The 2nd chorus seems too same-y and too similar to the first without getting much new things to listen to, give the listener a slightly new experience. And don't be afraid for things to stick out a bit more, everything just blends too much sometimes, just give your elements a space to shine and be heard instead of everything falling back with each other. And de-essing the vocals would be nice. This is just my quick take on the track. Ps. people dont come at me for being "harsh" this is honest constructive criticism.

Blastertoyo 22,728 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'll give you half my fries I really like the mood and vibe of the song. I do agree that there can be a bit more mixing. Also, it sounds like maybe the autotune is a bit heavy on the first verse(?) I write songs so maybe we could work together at some point please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh yeah the blending thing is annoying me - whenever I lower the gain on the pre-chorus or try to bump the high end, then the verse vocals are glaringly obvious. I don't want to add some kind of filter cause I still want that to seem like a 'natural' vocal I'm just not sure how to do it ahah. And yeah I'll increase the de-esser - interesting you said mid-heavy cause originally it was incredibly high end and it annoyed me so I dropped everything down on the master. I'll update when I've done some more mixing. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
