Oh... My... GOSH! This is epic! :O
The bass, the Wubs! You are truly a master of the cherry changa. there is no doubt about it.

mmmmmmm~.... this must be what a cherry changa tastes like in sound form. ¦)

Awesome o-o
Dem wubs are amazing. You need moar views!

[Mingus]

hahaha, thanks!
Well, I submitted it to EqD, so hopefully they'll post it and stuff. Get more people to listen to my stuff. =]

This is good, it seems to missing a sort of heavy feeling in the wubs. You do have the sub bass but the wubs are lacking in the low end, thats just my opinion.

Everything sits nicely together, good luck with EQD

This is just amazing! How long did it take you to make this?

[Mingus]

This took me like 5 days to make. Probably should've taken another day on it though, to master this better. I just noticed the sub is way too loud in areas.

[itroitnyah]

Maybe as you see it... but this is still amazing I'm guessing you've had your software for quite some time?

Wow okay, I'm not good at this kind of music, so I'm not going to comment on your composition, but your mix needs a TON of work. First off, the general mix is way too muddy. Put an eq on the master and take the mid low to mid high down a tad, secondly that kick is really bad. idk if it was the sample or your mixing of it. I know you were trying to get it to punch harder, but increasing the mid-high range so much didn't help. part of a kicks punch comes from the low end, so turn the mid high way down because it's jarring my skull. If you want the kick to stand out nice and hard, use sidechaining. it doesn't have to be really powerful sidechaining, it just has to be enough to separate the bass and pads from the kick. If you don't know what sidechaining is, its really easy to do and you will end up using it in everything. Basically, whatever you sidechain to the kick to goes down in volume (or compresses) every time the kick hits. this way, you can have a really heavy bassline and a really powerful kick without raping your headroom and clipping. If you want to know how to sidechain, just look it up on youtube. I'm sure there is a plethora of tutorials on the subject. Next, everything is way too in your face. experiment with panning, use a stereorizer on the more high endy instruments and make the master around 60-75% stereo and the kick should be full mono because it helps it hit harder, especially in a club scene. you should bring up the snare and increase the high frequencies and the mid just a tad, to make it hit harder. I'm also not really a fan of the vocals. I know you must have worked hard to glitch them like that but it really hurts my head :/

I think thats about it ^^

[Mingus]

Thanks for your input! I actually needed all of that, because I have no idea what to do when it comes to mixing/mastering and all that, haha. The problem with the kick was mainly the mixing of it in my part. I used some sidechaining, but I never really know how powerful it needs to be. And yeah, I haven't done anything with panning, or even know what to do with that, so I'm gonna read up on that. Actually, I didn't spend so much time with the glitching. It was my first attempt with using dblue Glitch, so it was just something I wanted to try, haha.

Thanks so much for that information. Definitely appreciate it! I need a ton of work to do on this stuff. =]

No problem! One of the biggest reasons my composition sucks it because I've been focusing soley on mixing. I've been half-assing the composition part to make the mix as professional as I can. I'm not popular because of it. It's one of the few career goals I've got. I figured it's a whole hell of a lot easier getting a job recording and mixing other people instead of trying to be those people. ^^
