There is a video too that I matched with it! I didn’t make the video, it just really suits the song

Don’t use HTTPS but HTT.
It doesn’t sound bad btw
I do have the idea that the percussion and bass is overcompressed.
Ahh cool
I have a lot of problems getting the low end to sound right because I can’t hear it on my shite speakers. I usually just have to work off the EQ spectrum graph and see if it more or less looks about the right levels :-/
I was actually worried the bass was TOO consuming! You think it needs to be more in front?
Dude, I like it a lot! Sounds great! I do agree with vV about the bass. It sounds a tad thin. But the composition is really good!
Awesome man! I’m happy with how this little track panned out
In terms of the bass being thin, I always appreciate advice! Are there any frequencies in particular that I should be looking at? that are missing etc? I’m really new to this sort of thing.

With overcompressed i actually meant it was being ripped apart in the limited box it got crammed in.
That you can crank up volume while heavily compressing/limiting it, doesn’t mean the fuller sound sounds better. If you stuff a bashed speaker in a flight-case, you don’t hear the ear-tearing noise, but you still hear the speaker is bashed
From a production start-point and not from a compositional start-point.
From about 20 to 60 Hz is where you want to get the correct levels first.
I don’t have the article off hand but I concur with this method.
Because it takes more energy to produce in those ranges, you have to
base other frequency loudness according to that range. Then usually, I
work upwards frequency wise, from bass to mid to high.

Short off topic - I think scores/film soundtracks and effects
to some degree, do quite a lot of sub bass work, because the audience
is literally meant to feel it, adds to the scenes. I suspect some form
sub bass layering to higher frequency instruments. You can definitely
hear or feel a big difference how film scores are mixed compared to others.
Back on topic - I have shitty equipment too plus an environment where its
not suited for mixing. So I have to get it right in other ways.
I use ToneBooosters Loudness meter to do this. In Renoise, I do a pre
multi-band loudness metering to mix everything dry (no effects).
Then send all of it to its own multi-band sections. It gets crazy
during and after the multi-band stage. Lots of keeping things in order
and checking levels, including stereo or mid side levels. A how to use
a loudness meter probably deserves its own thread but surprisingly its
fairly easy to use.
Just to add a tip:
You could also consider the FocusRite VRM box if your equipment doesn’t cut it…
Really cool track. Nice beats, guitars and ideas how to combine it.
Thanks so much for the useful tips and feedback!!! It’s really appreciated. Making tracks as a new and independent muso is so much harder when you have to try and quasi-master them too
I have a new track I just finished too that I’ll put in another thread. Would love feedback on that too.
