The Surface Level Remix- By Bryan Herbert

<< < (2/2)

terps4life90:
I am currently using Mixcraft 5 right now for the editing.

Mangley:
I like your remixes, personally I preferred your runway and caverns to this. Sound quality isn't amazing, I'm not sure if that's compression or samples, I don't really know enough about that sort of thing... but all your tracks so far seem to lack in 'fullness', this one in particular is very harsh to listen to, it's hard to describe exactly what I mean...

terps4life90:
When i did compress this one it did mess up, it should of been crystal clear sound. what kind of samples do you mean? Like from the song i released or other songs??? The only flaw with mixcraft is that is sounds great when your making it and playing it back but when you sometimes compress it, then play it back it doesnt sound so great. Is there like a top of the line music editing software out there? Maybe one that you use Basstronix?!?

basstronix:
I've never heard of Mixcraft, so I'm going to guess it's not that great (but hell, I might be totally wrong there). I use FL Studio as my host, but I own a hell of a lot of plugins and samples. By samples, I mean recorded sounds that you can use when you sequence. That's one of the first terms you should learn as a digital composer. Samples can be anything from miscellaneous objects being hit to every note on an acoustic guitar. VST instruments like Kontakt can help you use these samples in a realistic fashion.  Compression and mastering is a tricky art, so don't worry if you can't get it right the first time.

The main stuff I use:

z3ta+
Vanguard
Nexus
EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum
Omnisphere
Absynth
Massive
Guitar Rig
Altiverb
FM8
Kontakt

Sole Signal [Audix]:
For the first "loud" track, production is certainly iffy on this one. Sounds like the entire track is bathed in low-end reverb (which creates an incoherent rumble instead of clean bass sounds), and there's some kind of distortion on that kick drum sample that is unpleasant to listen to. Try to isolate some of the piercing EQs on the screeching instrument and tone them down.

Work on developing more dynamics within the song too; it has the same drum pattern throughout that becomes tiresome after several minutes.

For the second track, the intro is ok, but there are frequencies you're missing for that "full" sound. Build up some more pads and play with stereo panning to fill the soundscape. Bass is right about the lower quality samples too.
