Anyway, I think the kick is fine, but the snare seems pretty quiet. Another thing is that there appears to be little sound between your sub bass and your wobble's frequencies - in some parts. It seems somewhat unbalanced to me, like the volume is fading in and out. The higher frequencies in the drop seem a little too present, too.
However, I can hear the melody and it sounds pretty nice. Are you using a side-chain compression of any sort? Because it seems like your instruments are cutting out a lot of the percussion, when usually it's the percussion that cuts out the instruments.
I hope that helps, and I hope you get it finished in time cause I'd like to hear it when it's finished
Yeah, you're right. Originally on those high notes, that's what I was going for. I didn't want to fill the whole frequency across the board because I wanted to create this juxtaposition of low into high and back into low (you should have heard the high notes before I even had a sub cushioning it. That sure was a bright idea.) But if you think that the gap is too unpleasant, then I'll definitely take a look at it and see if there's something I can...do to fix it. Sorry I just saw a that's what she said joke coming so I had to swerve right.
I took care of the snare. It was an easy fix and I should have already thought to do that. Bad decision on my part. And yeah, I do sidechain, using the peak controller in FL. Its actually pushing the instruments down pretty hard whenever my kick/snare sound off, but if I set it to compress any more, then the instruments start to take a hit to the quality scale. But I pumped up that snare and increased the hats a bit too (I usually don't worry too much about hats in drum/dubstep, but I do like having them. Girlstep doesn't even like using them.)
It was very helpful, thank you. The song is pretty much all fleshed out, and now I'm working on both those changes that people are suggesting and the problems I am finding as I listen to the track over and over and over again.
Alright, sounds good. It really helps to listen to the track over and over, and focus on different instruments at a time. Listening on how different instruments mesh is also pretty important, as layering frequencies gives the best mix.
Again, can't wait to hear the full version
Good luck!
