Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
I agree. The mix is 'muted' if that is the correct word? It needs to be brighter. The mix is not crisp enoughDust Layer wrote:I'm listening, maybe it lacks a bit of brightness yes but not too much.

The pads, are they reverbed a lot? I think some more EQ of some of the lower freqs perhaps? I don't really know though.

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
It sounding better for sure.
But I think the bass is mixed too high, it takes up a lot of room from the kick.
The main thing now is the lead. It still needs to cut through more, it's still kind out woolly. The two leads, the evolving one and the stabby one need to sit in their own space more. I'd overdrive the top end of one a little, and eq them both carefully.
The evolving pad, are there two there?

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
Yes, i think the bass and the kick are too in your face in the mix too, sometimes i try to be so subtle with the more melodic parts... then add this to the obsession we(in technoland i guess) had with the kick/bass/sub and we got this kind of tooo quiet mix hehehejordanneke wrote:It sounding better for sure.

And yes again, you're spot on, theres 2 synths blending into that evolving pad, i did some eq on everything, overdrive and even some layering with the stabby one, kinda liked how it goes now, last mix session on this one, for this week at least, my gf will kill me if she had to listen this one again hahahaha
but maybe next week i can rework this one... boy, we could really be obsessed with a track dont we?

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
Sounds a lot like something John Digweed would have played in the back end of the 90's. Which may or not be a good thing depending on your own frame of reference. I think the prominent bass and deep pads really have the prog vibe.

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
not sure how i missed this for a while but it is tops!
really nice stuff! on headphones at work so i cant really comment on the mix but from an arrangement perspective only thing would be maybe a little more layers on some of the pad work and efx. give it a really deep treatment . like a slow softer pad going over the top of everything
but thats a personal thing .

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
Soundcloud is fucking lame. Link is dead again =\.
So I went for a Space Ride instead. I enjoyed it so much I think I'll let the rest of your SC tracks playout while I finish up some work.

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
Nice vibe, lovely and chilled - I think i could take a few things away from this and try to make my tracks flow a bit more effortlessly like this (not saying you didn't put in a lot of effort, but it just comes across as something that just flows).

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
I got sucked in a job project for some time, so sorry for the late reply people
Oh thanks man
I think youre right about this, listening again after some time out i think it can really could have more movement and maybe layering is the way to go, ill go back to this project for sure, thanks for this, and i think i could improve the stabby synth too, but no idea what ill do there, maybe more movement with the delay there...

I think i get what you mean, thanks a lot, in this one i was after this kinda of slow and easy going feel so i guess it kinda works heheKromasome wrote:Nice vibe, lovely and chilled - I think i could take a few things away from this and try to make my tracks flow a bit more effortlessly like this (not saying you didn't put in a lot of effort, but it just comes across as something that just flows).

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
Oh and thank you too Modfreq!
Glad you liked that space ride track, i recorded that one live and is one of my favorites from the last few months
in fact i was so fucking high when recorded that one that i was really surprised when i hear the recording, it make me thinking if i should do more live sessions high as fuck like that day hahaha

Re: Obtuso - Time Adjustment
I can definitely understand that John Digweed comment, sounds quite a bit like the prog they used to play back then.
However, if it was my track, I'd do a few things:
- The shaker sound and pattern is nice, but I'd either do some busier variations of it or introduce some sort of hihats halfway through, to make the the track feel like it's changing gears. Now it just chugs nicely for the duration, with no change in energy level.
-I'd change the main chord pattern and sound a bit. Maybe make it a tad brighter as it's a bit buried at the moment and as it (IMO) was the main musical element of the track, it needs more presence. Maybe change the notes of the chord progression a bit too, it was nice but not great.
Otherwise it's nice and smooth!
