hi everyone :)) this is my first full track ive made, so im still working on the progression from verse to chorus to bridge to outro etc. but if theres any feedback on absolutely anything that would be so helpful :)
Hey Rachel! You're cool that you're sharing your mix and ask for others opinion! That's the best way to grow up in making music. So I think that apart from too high snare I would rebalance the rest of the drums - snare and hats are too quite comparing to the kick and the rest of intruments:)
Hi Rachel :) I like the intro, simple but effective. My humble opinion: you should work on the drums and make them more interesting. The kick is too loud and the snare too thin. Try to bring some life into the hihats too. Be careful because I hear too much bass from some synths on the side notes (they come and go), cut them. The melody has its own appeal; you could try playing with the chords more in the choruses. Happy music, see you soon!
Question: Mixing in untreated rooms is 90% knowing the room and 10% the room itself. Facts or strongly disagree?
🎚️ Some producers swear that if you truly know your room, you can mix anywhere, even without treatment. Others say an untreated room will lie to you no matter how well you “learn” it.
If you're going to mix in an untreated room then you have to use references. Even if you know your room, you're still gonna want something to compare your mix to just in case. Eventually we should all strive to treat our studio spaces but obviously that's not cheap or easy to do. In the meantime it's best to utilize what you have and keep improving your listening environment progressively. This is especially important for beginners that are worried about mixing in an untreated space. Don't wait until you have the perfect room, get started now and make improvements as you go. Like I said at the beginning, use references and you'll get by.
Skrillex mixed a lot of his early work on Sony MDR 7506s and then *verified* on monitors before release. Same with Tame Impala's album Currents and Porter Robinson with his Worlds album (Sea of Voices is one of the best mixes I've ever heard as far as electronic music goes) I think what matters most is just references tracks.
I just started SoundGym back in Novemebre, and all I have is my laptop (DELL Latitude E5540) and some headphones, no other speakers. Besides decent headphones (I have the Sony Stereo Headphones MDR-7506) is there anything you all can recommend to get better sound quality so I can hear certain frequencies, distortion, any better? Anyone have any experience with SoundID Reference from Sonarworks? Thank you all!
