Mix Challenge

Hi Elcubano. This track starts off beautifully. I like how the intensity builds but I think the drums need to kick arse when they come in to give the track more energy. I suggest you turn up the kick and snare, and add a longer reverb on the snare to make the snare tone fuller and longer. It's a co...

Only thing for me to balance lead solo guitar, rhythm guitar and clean guitar. While in the beginning the levels sounds good, later when rhythm guitar is introduced it is unbalanced. Clean guitar interfere with lead too much and rhythm guitar is too much dominant. I would definitely put lead upfron...

In the mix at the moment I've got a clean guitar, a doubled left-right ryhtmic guitar, a lead guitar, a bass guitar and add...

I'd never composed with this kind of constraint before. It was a challenge because I mainly play guitar, and it was the first time I'd done a track without guitar and in an electro style. I tried to build a track around a central keyboard, gradually adding additional layers and different rhythmic el...

Thank you very much @Mister Fox for your very constructive feedback
and I'm sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the rules, I'll be more careful next time
