Brad Lee "SIDETRACKED"

[BRADLEE]

Ok I just started a little something, not quite done with it yet, but here is a taste. I still need to add some more edits, fix the mixdown because I do think it's a bit over compressed. Other than that I think I just need to finish the arrangement. About 3:30 right now....but tell me what you think....

Sounds nice man!!!

But you need to work loads on the mixdown... Really is to overcompressed.. when the bass and the kick are out all the midz pop up...

think you'll need to work on the kick too... needs to be much more agressive and needs to cut more through the mix....

the arrangement is nice though it gets kinda chaotic in some places( maybe thats also due to overcompression/mix) maybe work on the mix first think that will change loads!!..


aightt mix this tune and put her back up :rambo:

[eyes without a face]

yeah not bad but the levels are pretty high all over and definately over compressed...

sounds a bit muddy in the lower regions too maybe because of the overcompression but i think maybe a general brightening up in the lower-mids wud help

nice track tho

yes indeed my friend ;) That is why I said I need to work on the mixdown :lol: Just wondering what everyone thinks of the idea itself. But yes you are indeed correct I have too much compression on the master channel, but I do kind of like the pumping feel I got from it.

[eyes without a face]

yeah its a nice feeling when it kicks in after the small intro, but the feeling gets replaced by a lack of energy once it carries on

no doubt will rock when uve sorted it, eager to hear :)

Well I don't know what lack of energy you're speaking of, but yes the mix will get sorted.

well when the kick and bass first come in, they have a nice impact but the effect it has on the rest of the mids makes this impact/feeling dwindle as it progresses, nothing serious, a mixdown issue as u say

i think that over compression gives it a dirty sound, i like it

fix up that mix a bit, but keep the dirtyness

good shit brad

I kind of like the dirty pumping effect too, but I do need to still do some more eq'ing. Although I think I still need to back off the comp on the master a bit. Should help to make the mix less muddy.

thats a wicked tune messanger . i like them synth stabs and the dirty nes. thats a proper corker ;)

You know what's up. Clean it up and get some more ethereal stuff going in my opinion man.
