<Nonpony> <WIP> <Original> "Untitled WIP"

[Sleepingcobrox]

I have been working on this and though I want this song to have an electronic feel, I'm am not quite sure if I'm doing something right.

The repetition feels too long for me at the end and I am not sure if I should use more instruments. Not to mention that I still have no idea how to mix yet.

I made this with FL Studio Mobile HD and I would want to know how I can further make this song better.

EDIT: also the title is a work in progress. It will not be the final name of the song

Has a good feel to it, but could stand to use more melody and variation. More instruments, especial melodic synths and synth pads would help this track. On the mixing side, there's too few instruments to tell if it's off or not. The synth at 0:48 sounds off/weird; it doesn't fit IMO.

I get where you're coming from with the 0:48 synth. It did not feel right so I removed it. And also for this song it feels better if I use more instruments.

Could you tell me the difference between melodic synths and synth pads? What are they exactly?

If it doesn't hurt to ask this what exactly is mixing? Is it like polishing a video game?

Mixing is everything like volume, panning, EQ, and effects (reverb, distortion, delay, etc.). Basically anything you would do in the mixer.

Ah I see. Thank you

Synths with a melody would be stuff with a clear sound to it. Pads are the "ambient" ones.
