DnB New Vocal DnB: Better Off

[symbiosis]

Hey all just finished a new tune. Happy with the arrangement but could do with some feedback around the mix from people with fresh ears.

Hey symbiosis, firstly good work I liked the tune, I thought the placement of the sounds in the mix was good..... my comments would be (and all imo ofcouse) I thought the drums where lacking a little punch and bottom end.. poss being a little picky here but on the fade in and out with the drums I thought the Q was a little high they where kinda piercing and whistling a bit so more of a smoother curve on the filter, I thought the arp was too loud when it came in... the rest I like
Hope this helps a little

Cool song. Couldn't really pick up anything I didn't like. Maybe the vocals could stand out a bit more? not louder but emphasized in some way?
Like the buildups, and the drop hits hard!

Thanks guys. I'm gonna work on it some more. I got feedback from another forum about the kick too so definitely need to work on that!

Cheers for listening!

Hey all. Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen and give feedback. I made some changes to the tune and replaced the file. Also changed my production name because there are too many producers named Symbiosis in the world...

Yep agreed with you regarding the drums. I used parallel compression to make the drums bigger and fatter. There should be more low end present especially in the kick.

Also reduced the resonance slightly on ther filter.

Cheers!

Yep. I added a BBE Sonic Maximiser to the vocals. Made it "shine" a bit more. Thanks for the feedback man.
