It's tribal electro dance track for some djs - like a short radio edit Please give me your brutal honest opinion on the mastering / mixing etc - its ok if you dont like the song overall as i have pieces to add / consider - as other areas are in consideration / development. The mp3 file downlaod / stream will be fastest - use good speakers or headphones and close your eyes for 4 minutes. (dancing is allowed) mp3: www.giveproductions.com/AndrewFlint-TribalLight.mp3 the .wav file is uploading now - get it here - www.giveproductions.com/AndrewFlint-TribalLight.wav Any of you old timers that know your stuff, please lay it on me. Mixed in C4.02 using both Virus Ti, Triton, main effect process change that came out the best was when first took the 24bit file and ran it through a 33609 to smooth it, followed by a Pulteq Pro to make it Heavy and Bright. then took 2 roads - one direct to a Lookahead Limiter and set it to rms-12, peak-.4. other road was after the Pultek and to run to a Multiband Limiter to give it some more hump. After the multiband ran I another limiter to keep peaks with 0.4db. When it set them next to each other with a simpe non surround listening monitoring session - and in my car the first set ran through the 336098, then Pulteq EQ then the limiter was the best combo. |

i enjoyed it very much...im usually more of a rock guy in my listening, playing, and recording, but i found it to be lots of fun to listen to. Your use of the various frequency areas and stereo spectrum is great, as well as the ability to keep lots of stuff going on but without obscuring the basic beat and throb. well done. As far as the mastering, i feel like it has good punch and loudness while still keeping the peaks alive and noticeable, furthermore, there arent any frequency areas that really jump out to me as too loud to rob you of headroom. i feel like it could sound good on any system. although you might want to check it in mono to make sure all those cool effects and panning dont sound weird when summed. |

I enjoy it. Thoughts: 1. make some sort of point before the stereo/chorus bass enters at 0,44 as that could make a lift but now feels rather empty, perhaps let the beat enter at the same time, or parts of it. 2. Perhaps alter the ambient sounds a bit more before you put in the new beat at 2.27, as it is now I get the feeling someone is playing around with different presets on a drum machine, instead of making a musical point ![]() Sounds good mastering wise, there are millions of ways to master and the way you did it is as good as any other. It does not need to be grime-compressed as your targeting Dj's. Well done
