My entry into mixing...take a listen

[civic96 10+ year member]

Got a few mixing programs, spent a night trying to figure out how to use them, and eventually made my first mix! Tell me what you guys think. It far from perfect but for a first timer I have to say it came out really good. Tell me what u like, dislike, and what needs to be improved. Thanks

Can you send it to me via mp3 or something? That site isn't doing well for bandwidth right now, and I cannot get the song in a nice stream.

Its is a 16 minute song and it will take way too long to send. Just pause the stream and wait till it finishes. Thanks

what program or software did you use for that? Fruity Loops?

All I have to say is lay off the drugs.

Just kidding. The first transition was rough.

Not the type of music I listen to so I don't know how it is supposed to be, but usually you want the music to build and build but in a subtle way, but you don't want it to build too slow or too fast. Too slow and it is boring too fast and full appreciation of the music coming together is lost or it happens so fast people are unable to fully grasp and appreciate it. Then you want it all to come together close to the end and climax out at which point all the variations make sense and function/resolve together and then the song should drop off the climax and come to a gentle decline into the end. But again maybe that's not how this type of music is supposed to be.

I worked on it some more and got it to be smoother. I will ulpoad the new version when I have time. The idea was for it be rough. I originally wanted the music to just stop and out of nowhere to just start pounding. I got that affect on the remake.

I used Acid Pro and fruity loops on the side. I just got Sound Forge which is an editing program, but havent had time to experiment with it and work on the rough edges in the mix.

It was average. You can definitely tell it was done with computer programs.
