This is the bgm for a music video that I am doing together with a good friend of mine. What we are trying to do is to have a filmed highway/autobahn crossing react to the sounds of this song. Hope I can present it to you some day... 🙂
Please do tell me if the Stereo mix works for you. I had my first time on trying to get something to work on speakers (have only been mixing with headphones before), so this is the most interesting point for me. And of course if you like it at all! 😀

That's quite a lot bass in there, a bit boomy and muddy low-mid range. Take out some low-end on your bass sounds, mostly somewhere around 130-180Hz I guess. Sculpt this range carefully but don't be too shy with the cut either, -6dB shouldn't hurt. This will give your bass sounds better definiton.
Not sure about the mid-range, hard to tell with all that bass, but seems Ok.
High-end is very nice, I like the timbres of the sounds. Did you check in mono? Sounds to me you have used some stereo widening here and there, that might screw the mix when played in mono.
Very nice tune, sounds sweet and original. Not too mad about the "standard" e-kick though.
Oh yeah, you can put a stroboscope light on the autobahn bridge to make the traffic react to the music. Latency might be a problem however... 😀
ok, I get me coat...

If you haven't already, check this out. It helps a lot!

Very nice music... 🙂
...can't say anything about the mixing but I think less electronic sounding percussion would be nice (but I know you like those '80s fake hi-hats or whatever they are). 😇
skOre ·
Yes, I'm absolutely completely sold for 80's hihats and snares 😀
Although I lately had a go at a better kit 😉
Thanks!
Will see if I can make use of any of your help dreamkeeper 😉

Nice... great textures on that one. (There may be some muddy sounding areas but I can't be sure that's not my lame speakers.)
The percussion is much more to my liking. 😀

thanks 🙂

Sounds pretty good on my KRK's. Think some of the synthchords could have a bit better placement into the mix...but it's really a nice track you got there! 🙂
skOre ·
Thanks... which of the two are you talking about? 😀

Song 126_2 does it for me, the only thing is it's about five times too short 😉
There's something that really gets me about the tonality of your music, it's really bright and positive without sounding at all cheeezy.. it reminds me of the music at one of the first clubs I went clubbing at, and it was a great club too..
More!

I really plan to make more of 126_2 as I really like the harmonies that I got to. But something like this has to be handeled with care 😉
For now, its like a musical appetizer 😀
thanks!

Both are great, but you need to get away from the Anthony Braxton school of naming compositions. 😉

I tried a couple of times but names never fit my songs, thus I stopped doing it. Yet I was thinking about giving them a little more classic namings like "Sonata No.195 in D major for synthesized Marimba-ish tonalities"
Btw, (to sambean) Song_126 is advancing, but I didn't make it to five times the length. Yet its gotten close to ten minutes 🙂.
