here's a spectrum analysis frequency graph of the mastered song..  i'll let someone else debate what the graph tells you.

well,
edm is outta my wheelhouse...
and maybe it's totally appropriate for a certain genre...
that's why i said i'd sit back and let someone else comment....
as it stands, it only has a DR of 8, so not very dynamic, but maybe it's not supposed to be...

I would be very interested to hear if anyone can interpret the spectrum analysis. It's an area of learning I've not entered yet. To be honest - my intention was to have the bass and kick drive this track. I used sound FX to give the track some spacial awareness.
I have to say, I'm not entirely happy with the LANDR mastering - it emphasizes the top n bottom, but not much in between IMO. But generally, I'm just happy to have a half decent master, as I've never been able to master my songs. One thing that LANDR has been useful for is to use as a reference - it really does show you what is wrong with the mix so that you can go back n fix it. Believe it or not - the bass in this track was actually about 5 or 6 db LOUDER than it is in the final mix.

Well, whatever the mastering process, the track sounds just great. The sound effects do indeed give some spacial awareness and they're pretty freakin' cool to. I don't listen to this genre too very often, but I know a well-executed tune when I hear one, and this is certainly one of those. Ear candy indeed, really well done!

Landr aside that is a really good song!! I mean really good. I'm not into EDM, but that song is totally infectious. You need to be making money with that thing. Plus, vour voice works perfectly with the material.
Best of luck with your music.

Love it, very creative. I would like the vocal louder however, more up front. I think as is the bass is too loud and steals the attention (at least mine, anyway) from the vocal, which is pretty killer.
I'd say keep the bass as is (very commercial) but can you boost the vocal elements just a bit?
cheers,
-Tom

I must either have really super lousy speakers or something, because on another thread people said the the vocals were good in the mix when they were obviously way to loud to me. And contrarily, his voice in this mix sounds perfect. Interesting. Also, I've noticed that in EDM the voices are often treated like one of the instruments, especially if they're treated electronically, rather than as upfront like they are in rock. At least that's how I tend to hear EDM.

Well....I'm certainly no expert in this genre.....
The song has a good drive to it which is required for the style and genre.... bass and kick have it going on. With those 2, you can pack a dance floor. I actually listened to the entire song, which is also a testament to the fact that it's a good song.
I can appreciate the graphs and statistics on songs..... but what really matters is how the listeners perceive the music.... can they dance to it? In this case I'd say you succeeded. All the other stuff..... ear candy as someone else said.
I might have to have a listen later on my cans to hear it better represented.
Nicely done.

Not to embarrass the OP but he's kind of eye candy too. er, how's the teeth mate? I guess it don't matter; David Bowie had kind of a vampire thing goin on with his teeth. Madonna got a big gap in her front teef.

Thanks Guitarhacker - I appreciate you taking the time to listen, despite this not being your 'go to' genre. When it comes to dancing - I'd probably say this one's a little slow for that. It's more (as my friend recently put it) an 'Ibiza chill-out kinda vibe'...which suits me too!

Definitely - that's a helpful observation actually - I completely agree that VOX in EDM are more of an instrument.

Tom - It must be a good thing to have someone ask to turn my vocals UP! I must admit I really thought about making the vocals louder but decided it fitted the ambiance more to have them sitting slightly out of focus. When they were closer upfront, the whole track lost a dimension. p.s - I'm currently listening to 'The Stars at Night' which is a really lovely track! And a nice, interesting mix too. Nice work!

Nice... Cool groove, laid back but still pushing a little. The vocals sound fairly well balanced, loved all the little parts coming in and out, and the mix is clear and spacious.

Great mix! Sounds really good here and the song is very well produced!
A lot of little details which kept my interest during the song and all of them implemented without beeing too upfront.
Very balanced tune!
Best,
