Hey everybody, please check out my latest song and please comment or repost if you'd like!

Nice and different
I like the fill sounds really much, they would fit well in a heavy drop!
remember: red is bad
Try to mix this song properly and try to avoid distortion and clipping.
Some sounds hurt a bit in my ear, try to cut the hurting frequencies out
I like that growls very much too!

Thanks, a heavy drop is kinda what i was going for! And I'm glad you liked it!.. see the thing is when it comes to mastering I think because I've looped the song so many times consecutively my ears naturely tune out the bad sounds which makes it harder for me to make a truly clean mix,.. maybe it has something to do with the spending of many hours consecutively listening to the same sounds..

Wooah. After listening to this track, I must say, you creatively used those sounds well, and put them to good use too.
And it's sounding closer to enjoyable too.
The only noticeable problem, is the clipping volume.
But overall. You're reaching there. Very good.

Hm, you could send it to me, and i can clean it up, because i understand what your saying. or you could try something else

I just think mixing and composing should be done in seperate sittings from when its time to master, because my ears must get there own EQ going on and they let me down with all the clipping and distortion i think from exhausting long sessions...

I would send it to you for you to take a shot at mastering but It would be a bit of a hassle for you inserting all my samples and getting all the VST presets right.. i mean sometimes i'm working with 32+ instruments

Thanks I'm glad you are noticing that i seem to be improving! I just need to spend a little more time carefully cleaning up and mastering down the mix

as long as i have the VSTS the presets will stay the same, and the drum samples, i should be good.

Theres always the option of sending the individual audio tracks for each instrument.
