I think the beginning piano should be a bit softer. That's the main thing taking away from the vibe of the song. The song feels more like space rather than the photo imo but it's still quite nice. The levels do sound a bit unbalanced though.

Lucasberry responds:

Yeah, probably sounds too space-themed, but thanks for your feedback.

I think there should be a lot more separation in the mix. The pads sound kind of close to the I think electric piano? It sounds like they're combating a bit. I don't really know what it is but the instrument starts off with a Cmaj7 with a C D and E being played an octave higher at the end if I'm correct. Also for the synth that comes in later, I think it should be a bit lower but that's hard to tell since the mix is a bit iffy at the moment. The song kind of lacks the feeling of clarity due to the mix being kind of cluttered and muddy. I would work on balancing the levels some more and maybe sorting things in the mix. I really enjoy the arrangement though.

thanks for the comment!, some of the effects are because its supposed to be an Underwater song, something that might be playing outside but you can still hear it underwater hehe

It sounds a bit rough and dry to me and I just honestly wish the instruments sounded a bit more distant. I still really like the atmosphere created! This is really nice!

Midnights-Ocean responds:

I thought the arp lead was a little too loud in a few places myself.

It's always hard for me to decide if I want the environmental sounds to be dominant or the musical elements. I originally had the waves and reverbs mixed much higher but in the past people had complained that I always mix those sort of things too loud lol.

Thanks for the feedback! : )

--Note: I updated the file to hopefully fix some of the issues.--

I think the piano would benefit from being much softer. The same goes for the violins because they sound very dry and rough. This takes away a lot of the atmosphere imo because the chords don't express themselves that well. It starts to get quite cluttered at 0:55. I think you need some separation in the mix. I think the violins should be a lot more distant while the piano leads. It sounds quite unbalanced as well. I do like the arrangement but it can't really express itself that well at the moment. I think this song could be really cool. I overall think it needs to be more spacious in the mix and have the volume levels balanced. I think layering the piano could have also been a possibility.

Abendland responds:

Appreciate your feedback a lot! Thanks for all the advice!

I dig it. It sounds like there's a bit of low end in that bird sample in the beginning so I would cut some of the low end out of it if there is any. It sounds like you used a lydian mode for this song which is cool. If you didn't well it still sounds pretty cool. I think the bass should be bit lower imo. It's nice, groovy, simple and quite chill. The mix sounds solid too.

JA4Y responds:

thx for the feedback and ideas!!

I really enjoy the bounce of it and the mix sounds pretty solid! The arrangement feels a bit average to me because nothing in particular really stands out imo but that's not really a bad thing. Also here's a direct link to your instagram page so it takes people directly to your page when they click on it: https://www.instagram.com/itsquin17/

Appreciate the feedback bud!

I feel as if the instrument choice is a bit questionable. The level's sound a bit unbalanced and I think that the reverb could be filtered out better. The instruments don't really feel organized imo. The arp that comes in later feels less like it's working with the instruments and more like it's fighting for attention. I also think you should tone down the bass and the snare doesn't really feel like it adds much because I feel like it shadows the kick. Also this feels more ambient rather than drum and bass. I do like the mood it creates. It feels wavy.

VibrantMan responds:

I like the way it sounds as well.

I honestly think the clap doesn't really fit. That's all I have to say.

AmexSteamOfficial responds:

Is correct xD

So the song is really muddy so I would take an EQ and cut the low end out of the things that don't need it. The muddy sound can range from 32 to like 900 hertz, maybe more. You can just put an EQ band on peak and go between the frequencies until you find that really muddy sound. I would also look out for unnecessary white noise, which is mainly found at the high end. I find it at like 10k - 20k most of the time. The arrangement is pretty nice. I definitely feels more video gamey. I would leave the pads with some low end btw.

StaggerNight responds:

Thanks! I went back and fixed some of the EQ, hope its better now.
