Hey guys! Here's my March track:

https://soundcloud.com/insonico/muzac-i

I was working on a different track and getting nowhere. A track that I've been trying to make work for a long time.
I got frustrated and decided to start something else entirely. Something simpler. I'm happy with the result.

On a different note... How do you guys go about mixing? Do you mix along with composing? As soon as you create a new track, do you link it to a mixer channel? I've been trying to get better at mixing to get the final track as loud and balanced as possible, but it often is an excruciating process, so I was wondering how other people did it.

Anyway, hope y'all like the track!

The track sounds good I'm having the same problems mixing. I tend to mix as I go along and tweak it in the final mix. I do however do any panning last. I'm also finding it hard to keep the loudness and also compressing the track.

The music sounds nice.
And the sounds and instruments, sound clean and clear too. Good work on the mixing.

Thanks!
That's interesting. I tend to mess around the volume and panning knobs as I compose. And that makes things harder when I connect the tracks to the mixer, I sorta end having to mix everything again. I want to get into the habit of sending tracks to the mixer and start mixing there already.
I also struggle with loudness. I think pretty much all of my tracks could be louder with more appropriate mixing.
Oh well.

I'm glad it came out all right.

A faultless journey so far.
I am a fan, dude.
The recurring use of the same set of synths gives a stamp of homogeneity from one track to another, makes your sound quite characteristic, it works well.

I do not think I can give good advice for the mix. I do not have an effective method yet.

Thanks so much, man! I appreciate that.
It hasn't been intentional, I guess I tend to gravitate towards certain synth sounds...

By the way, I'm fan of yours too. I like that you're also trying to do something different and I admire your effort to stick to LMMS native stuff. I'm sure you put a lot of work into sound design.
And I'm still looking forward to your next release...
