I would like to hear your music made with Renoise or other Daws

bangin :triumph:

I’m no Dave Gahan, but i tried my best. Recording and mixing vocals is not so easy. :woozy_face:

The vocals fit perfectly with the song but you got to mix them better because its a killer track!!!

Great song, but the mix, which is completely flat and sounds like a kitchen radio, sucks.

You don’t need to be Dave Gahan to deliver something decent. This is by far your best work imho. Yes, the mix could be improved, but it’s not bad. First of all I would increase the loudness of the lower pitch singing, right now it’s hard to understand. And additionally I would increase the higher frequencies a little bit to gain more clearness, but at the same time I would also use a de-esser to limit the sibilants.

Yes, instead use an echo like Waves H-Delay and a bit short reverb, also I like the mix of the prior version more, way more balanced or so? Please don’t give up, almost there! You could stereoize you vocal, if the middle already is used…

Thanks guys!
I noticed it right away after i posted it that there were something off. I ran out of CPU so i had to turn off a lot of fx and forgot to turn them back on. I think this one is a bit more balanced, but i guess you’re right about the lack of de-essing and i had solved that in the first version of this track. Somehow i thought i lost a bit too much in the higher frequencies and removed the de-esser setup. I should probably do some more fixing, but here’s the mix i intended to post:

Thanks for listening mate :upside_down_face: not gonna argue with that! Absolutely valid point.

Thanks man, I appreciate you listening nice one

Boss tune this, really enjoyed listening to it. The first mix you posted was good I thought but this one was easier on the ears maybe. Good stuff nonetheless

Hello people,
this time around i have a ninja style electro tune to offer.

Done in Renoise using mostly Surge VST synth and its effects.
Enjoy!

Maybe. I don’t use compression that much, just to bring out some percussions.
There is some peak limiting (around -3db) on the master. And i put a gate here and there to condense some reverb tails.

Great , and i like the way the pad/string dictates the mood of the track

@uncle_c that’s a neat little tune. I dig the sound design and how in a short amount of time go to a few different place. the main “melodic” wob, wob, wob bell does get on my nerves after a while. And the ending feels, well it just stops. I think that’s a pity. But good stuff to build on, if you ask me.

@willy_dinglefinger now that’s the kind of music I don’t hear around here too often, good stuff! To me it feels like a live version. To my mind it feels a bit slower and sloppier than the album version would be. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a complaint or insult. Rather a compliment. It feels alive. If you’ll permit me a point of critique. It’s the drums. They keep time just fine. But they are also rather static. Some more aggressive fills here and there could really bring it to the next level. Excellent stuff! Heard it 4 times already.

@TheBellows Nebula 2 feels like some Scandinavian electro bands from the early to mid 90s or so. Both in terms of genre/style and your mix. I feel you’ve made a lot of progression in your music since the last track by you that I heard. I look forward to hearing more of this style of music from you.

@strobotone kindo match is bright and punchy, i like that. It has some good sounds in there for sure. To my mind the tune lacks a bit of flow. It feels like it’s changing direction a couple of times but never truly commits. I think that with a stronger, more focused arc this could be a rather excellent track indeed. But hey, that’s just my two cents.

@Marc_Shake That’s a dramatic little piece. The little melodic motif is lovely. If you don’t mind me saying; I do feel the climax is of the tune isn’t quite big enough. The notes feel like things are starting to soar. But the music doesn’t get alive enough for my taste. I feel you’re almost there. You just need to go a little bit bigger. A little bite wider. Maybe a little looser in terms of timing. You have the event, have most of the ingredients. I just feel something is missing there still. But that’s just how I feel about it. Nice stuff nonetheless.

Recently I did a quick cover of Alessandro Cortini’s Everything Ends Here with my Behringer 2600, Neutron and Pro-1 (instead of with a Buchla). Nothing fancy, just having fun with my synths which is what it’s all about, right. :grin:

I am impressed by your ability to express your feelings about music that way.
Indeed, i feel like being held back lately. There is pressure all around us and i am having a hard time letting the mind flow.

Thank you! My biggest struggle at the moment is being able to really “hear” what a song needs to finish it, whether in terms of sequencing or layering. I guess my main approach is to just be “finishing” things as much as possible, whether or not they’re really complete, with the aim of being able to hear those gaps in the finished song once I listen to it without the filter of “oh, I’ll change this quick”

Any tips on improving in this area?
