Get Music Feedback from Kris Baha

Hi Kris, many thanks for feedback! that is really helpful. And yes i agree the main riff of the track gets loopy, I will do a rearrange and see how that sounds. Great you enjoyed Halycon! I would be open to putting together an EP. Thanks for the opportunity to get some more stuff to you. I looked for your email and cannot see it here. Mine is sammentink1@gmail.com Would be cool to find out a bit more info and I can get something to you. Look forward to your reply. Cheers Sam.

Great feedback. I took almost word for word notes because this is like gold to me. I feel like a lot of my mixes sound a bit muddy, and this makes sense of it. Whats weird is when i perform high I typically add quite a bit of high and mid eq and I sound better than when recorded, but for some reason I haven't applied this to my actual mixes so thank you for pointing that out. It was so cool to see you and see you talk about my music. You are such an inspiration. Im always in awe listening to your music! Thank you so much!

Hi Kris, Thanks for much for this. Great tips, very helpful. I've now implemented most of these in one way or another. The point about vocal and bass separation was a bit of a face palm moment and I had to go back and check that yes - for whatever reason I simply hadn't done any separation of those elements, and I'm really glad your ears picked up on it immediately. Not sure that I've necessarily got it 100% now, but I think they are now competing at least a little less. The vocal in the 'go deep' section is now more compressed (and more saturated) and EQed a little differently. The difference still isn't all that dramatic, but I'm hoping it might be enough to give the listener a sense of moving to a new section. I'd never really considered using a different amount of compression in the chorus (apart from e.g. adding distortion), so this tip alone has really lead me to think differently about this aspect of production. Thanks! I've also increased the overall amount of vocal compression across the whole track, so I'm hoping the individual words will be a little bit more consistent now. With regard to to vocal echoes, I've focused this on the two lines in the second part of the verse, e.g. at 0:36 and 0:46. I'm thinking that possibly I could be a little bolder still with some of these moves, but I'm preferring to err on the side of under-doing it rather than over-doing, at least initially. Possibly I'll become a little more confident with this over time. Once again, much appreciate your input, really feeling like this has made a difference - not just with this track, but it'll also help my understanding for future work. Cheers, Andrew.
