I’ve been working on a new track and would love some feedback—mix, arrangement, overall vibe, whatever stands out. If anyone else wants to drop a track for feedback too, feel free.
Let me know what you think, and I’ll check out other tracks in here as well.
Hey, see if this helps for adding the imbedded soundcloud player in place of your link 
Really nice Track! It would be more balanced with more Low End unless it’s the style of your Track.
thank you that is much better.
Appreciate it! Yeah I could absolutely add some low end. I am newer to mixing this style of music so I’m still learning the boundaries to aim for.
Definitely no expert, me, but sounds great! At first I wasn’t sure the dissonance of the top guitar line (around 3:51) worked but my ears acclimatised to it. I guess you’d call it a controlled dissonance - it’s outside the scale of the underlying harmony yet sort of works also.
Came in like a 90’s Amiga game theme (in the best way possible).
I like it.
I like where it goes, the way it develops quite naturally without loads of silly drops and risers. A throwback to better days, compositionally.
Mix is decent to my (broken) ears. I didn’t feel like the bass was lacking, but that shit is so subjective. Lots of space in the mix, nothing swamping anything else. I like the drums, could maybe be a smidge higher in the mix, but that’s me finding something to moan about really.
If I made a track this good I’d be well impressed with myself.
Thank you! thats an effect I like to play with. The scale I used for this song is called harmonic minor. It has one note that sounds “out” of the scale which can be a fun way to make things sound exotic. I appreciate the feedback.
No problem.
I agree with the general consensus that it’s a good track and a good mix, real mortal kombat-like but in a good way.
My only notes would be that the kick doesn’t punch and the guitar solos would have more impact if they were not featured so prominently. Compositionally and mix-wise it’s the antithesis of what I usually shoot for so that means it’s real nice and well balanced with a refined sonic character.
I’d say it’s a nice track.
Thank you so much for the kind words. That is something I am still negotiating is how the mix is supposed to sit in an electronic track. The volume of bass and drums is feedback I’ve gotten a lot so far. It’s challenging to settle on a specific level for both.
Nice! Thank you for the feedback. Yes I agree about the guitar level, I think it needs to come down a little as well after listening to the mix for a few days. I’m going to experiment with bringing the drums up a bit overall with some tweaking on the kick eq.
Honestly the rest of the drums sound fine for the mix, I’d just find a little extra whomp in the kick. Well done.
If you left it as it is it’d be fine.
Truth is you’ll probably never be 100% happy with a mix and if you ask people, they’ll usually find something that they’d do differently.
It’s too easy to get trapped in a perfection spiral and end up with something worse then when you started. Too much tinkering can suck the energy out of a mix. And a lot of that energy comes from the little imperfections that make a mix it’s own thing.
You clearly have a decent ear for mixing, so trust your instincts and I reckon you’ll be churning out bangers til you get sick of it.
I should have been clearer. I also got the timestamp wrong - mistread the track duration for the current playhead time. So it’s around 3:05. I was referring to the use of the Eb in the top guitar (its riff seems to be F#-G-F#-Eb-F#-Eb-D, so the raised Eb (above the Dminor harmony) has that dissonance. But listening to it back now, that just gives it an Egyptian feel and actually works nicely.
Sounds great even through my phone speaker so that says something for the mix! Nice that there’s a guitar in there, borders on Numan at times to me, which is a good thing.
I’d be very pleased with that, mate.
Thank you for the feedback! Translation between speakers is a big deal.
I wanted to say thank you all again for the feedback and compliments. I have replaced the original file with version 3 with some mix tweaks based on suggestions here and I think it made a substantial improvement. Feel free to check it out.
Egyptian is definitely what comes to mind with that scale I’m glad you like it!
Great job, definitely more balanced. Great vibe!
Fair play, that is much better actually.
