Our careers are evolving all the time, whether we know it or not. This has become much more true in my lifetime and I've recently had some realizations about how I feel about my life as a producer and how that's led to where I am now...and where I'm going next. Goodbye, all of /prod/.

you need to do something with the rhythms. either subtract the drums and bring them back or change the cadence up. Also, the pad sounding synth needs more effects or bring it forward and back or something
most recent shit i did, im new to making music and i've always lurked mu but rarely posted, any advice from the general mutants about this track? thanks homies
unironically the waveform on sc here helps a lot because you are fucking up your mix and master. what are you doing to compress the song? can you run me through your mastering process?
Cooper Powell
ermmmmmmmmmm you can't say that
Jackson Moore
vocaroo.com/13J95ExmDxy7 I figured my mastering sucked ass but i usually started with a mastering template then if it sounds off i keep tweaking it until I'm happy with the sound, I keep some sounds panned a bit to give them their own space and i have a stereo enhancer I kept tweaking how loud the lows are in the main EQ for my master track, but I can't find a decent balance, on some of the main growl patches i also completely removed the lows and for the sub i remove the highs, im also really really new so any advice is appreciated, i dont care how mean anyone is, I just want unfiltered critique
Jaxson Lewis
>what are you doing to compress the song? i just turn it into a wav file and an ogg but i usually end up using the wav file, ive heard flac is good but ive never gotten a good sound out of flac, i assume im just doing something completely wrong
Blake Walker
vocaroo.com/11xepyskGszF some other shit i made, to get an idea of my mastering ig ill show you guys another one, this one's trashy rap as opposed to the other one being edm though
Daniel Edwards
country rocky track im trying to finalize before mastering, any thoughts? voca.ro/19jOjasDgD3H
This isn't "right" but you can understand compression better if you watch this and read more (once you read more, you'll get what this video is showing) youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ Are you just using a limiter for the master track? Panning isn't the issue here. You mix is really muddy and not very clear. Sounds are smooshing into each other and the kick is achieving a sidechain quality because of the amount of compression on the track. Are you using FL studio by chance?
Xavier Russell
yeah im using fl, and i think that track doesnt but yeah a limiter would definitely help, you're right that it does sound muddy, let me see if i can fix that i think my low end being a little high in my EQ also contributes to that
Jayden Foster
it'd take too long to explain but trying doing what im doing with maximus on the master track and see how it sounds. you should also mix your individual tracks down so the master track is around -6 db before applying maximus for best results streamable.com/hrpudo
Henry Jones
>master track is around -6 db before applying This really is arbitrary. You can have a mix that is smashed to death and peaking at anything below full scale.
Charles Moore
it just gives the compressor more space, yeah you don't have to
Adrian Scott
>more space What do you mean by that?
Hudson Hill
greater distance between the loudest part of the song and 0 db is the space im referring to but it's not that important just do what i did in maximus that should generally be good enough
