Malevolence Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Playing around a bit... if someone have advice how to improve that synth (make it louder or phatter) it would be so cool :) Also it's electro house- y tune :D (beer)https://soundcloud.com/dj_steewy/steewy-journey-demo Ill leave feedback tonight... i have exam in few hours :| Not too shabby. As for the synth, distortion really helps with making things stand out/hit harder. If you have a saturator or anything really that will make it sound harder but not completely change the tone that would help quite a bit I think. And as for fattening a sound I found yesterday that Steve Duda actually took the dimensional expander from massive and made it its own vst, I love widening up sounds with it.

tncee Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 @tncee that shit is insane :o (bomba) do you ever release any of your tunes? usually i do , but most of the time i save em up to release them when im running out of ideas :D the main reason why theres so few tracks released is that i want to keep up with the standart's which is harder than i initially thought (hmm) Link to comment
teh1buck Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) question: is there a reason why my mixes sound like shit whenever they're uploaded to soundcloud? in ableton & the wavs all sound great (tons of space, noticeable reverb that's supposed to be there, etc.), but then they all sound ridiculously flat when uploaded to soundcloud i assume it's because it's going from raw digital shit to a waveform? i need to learn this mastering/EQing black magic can anyone recommend any good (free) mastering lessons/websites? all the good ones i've found use expensive ass VSTs/software or you gotta pay out the ass for the lesson Edited March 27, 2013 by teh1buck Link to comment

andius Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/40284464/file.html alright guys def need some advice on this one, esp when it comes to the lower end, having trouble getting it mixed down properly. Also, the (dub) in the file name isn't referring to 'dubplate' lol, its a file naming thing i use for tunes with vocals and without. Link to comment

I always have problems with mixdowns because I mainly produce on headphones. The lowend always gives me trouble in that a lot of times its way too much, or its hardly there on other systems. I guess this one is sounding alright though haha. Just curious what are you listening on? (I think everyone giving advice in this thread should say what they are listening on btw, makes the advice more helpful in my opinion) Link to comment
