Track sounds finished?
Track sounds finished? Posted on: 05.10.2011 by Detra Girardier So i've been working on this track for the last couple of weeks. It feels pretty much finished and ready to be sent off to mastering, but i'm not sure. What do you guys believe? Is there anything missing? Or is it too much? Does it sound 'off'? http://soundcloud.com/whytewip/whyte-protophysik-premaster Please help me with this one | |

| Catherin Vannucci 11.10.2011 | Cheers mate. In terms of mixing i agree with TWD, we've got to be able to produce "for the room". in terms of music construction ( and this is just my opinion) i believe that a more pronounced lead synth with a precise design and behavior would make some magic. |
| Detra Girardier 10.10.2011 | Now that's some decent commenting right there! Thank you TWD! I will get on this as soon as i get home, see what i can do to make some of your advised changes happen. You're right about the headphone thing, as this whole track was produced using only a set of cans . Got some decent monitors in this week though, so should be able to make some changes now. Thanks again man, i'll make sure to put the next version up here as well. |
| Marnie Foye 09.10.2011 | Yeah I wouldn't worry so much about the bass. It has plenty of punch once you put some compression on it. I would go back and look at levels and stereo first. There are some drums in there that are just too loud. I also believe the pads might need to be toned down a bit. On the stereo side you just have too much of it. It sounds great on headphones, but it will be weak elsewhere. Get rid of any stereo in the low end, and use mid/side processing on the other parts Here's a quick master I did in about 5 minutes that should help show you what changes you might want to make: http://www.mediafire.com/?suu5pzpi2nhhg8n |
| Stanley Topoleski 05.10.2011 | the mp3 sounds a bit better send it out then upload a master |
| Breana Singerman 05.10.2011 | Think it sounds solid mate, not much more you can do at this point mixdown wise I'd say. Send it out and see how it comes back. And I don't know about you guys, but the kick/lowend sounds solid on my end. |

| Stanley Topoleski 05.10.2011 | ^ +1 more kick i second that |
| Chas Giraldez 05.10.2011 | I would put in a sub kick, the low end is definitely lacking drive. otherwise, superb work. |
