Bam Bam v2

Hi Simon,

I totally agree. I often think its best to move on to the next track and try and incorporate what you've learned before into that, otherwise you may never end up creating anything new

Bass Problems

Let us hear you!

Hi Samuel,

Years ago I owned a Ford Escort which I did upon occasion used to polish, which may actually disprove your colourful analogy, but I get what you're saying! I think I may have gone too far the other way with my latest track (or the sample is too good), as the kick is probably standing out a bit too much this time.

Thanks for your feedback

Bass Problems

Let us hear you!

Hi, there were a few issues. As you suggested, the kick was a bit lacking so I added an extra layer with a stronger transient and higher fundamental. The distortion I was hearing seems to have been coming from the sub bass - I didn't realise it was generating so much upper harmonic information! Rolling off the top end plus a touch of additional EQ here and there in the lows really seems to have cleared things up - I'm much happier with how its sounding now

Here's the full track:

Thank you for your help,

Bass Problems

Let us hear you!

Hi all,

The track I'm currently working on is causing me a few issues. Here's a link to the chorus section.

To me the low end sounds a bit muddy/distorted. Any tips on how to go about cleaning this up?

PS. It didn't sound too bad until I boosted the volume of the kick and bass (which I'm already side-chaining) to try and get closer to the reference track I'm using - I guess it just amplified problems that were previously hiding!

Any help would be much appreciated

Track in progress...

Let us hear you!

Hi Rob, the whole track basically started with that pesky pad - I used a technique I picked up from a YouTube video which sounds good on its own but, as I'm now discovering, is creating all sorts of issues in the mix. Extreme filtering here I come! Thanks for the advice

Chilled Breaks track

Let us hear you!

Hi Simon, I'm not really familiar with this style of music (and I'm terrible with genres in general!) but the mix sounds nice and clean. The only thing I don't like is the slightly piercing repetitive synth a minute or two into the track. It just sounds a little harsh to me - or maybe that's what producers aim for with this type of music? Hope that helps

Hi Simon, its funny you should mention the pad sound - I wasn't sure if it was causing some muddiness in the track as, like you said, it is covering a lot of the frequency spectrum. I'll try filtering it and adding a second (shorter) layer as you suggested. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I'll let you know when its finally finished so you can see what you think. Thanks again.

Hi all,

I'm currently working on the following track:

I'll be adding some real vocals shortly (you can probably tell it's currently a computer generated voice). Would just like to get some feedback on any areas I need to address when putting the final mix together?

Thanks in advance

Hi Samuel,

I wasn't sure what a Balkan Brass band actually sounded like so I've just been listening on YouTube and I see what you mean - but, as they say in the movie credits, 'This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental'! Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

Hi everyone,

This was good fun. Started out more acoustic but, as I migrated towards the electronic, it ended up sounding like a 70s TV theme tune!
Anyway, here it is:
