Cheers Stefan!
Mixwise: distorted bassdrum might be EQd down a bit, prolly around 120 HZ, otherwise I'd say play with the levels, try to have quieter / louder parts based on their importance in the song. When it comes to arrangement, I would do a slower buildup, only adding one item at a time, but this is more an atristical approach than a technicality, and even if I'd do it differetnly, the song still works for me.
Ok, listeniong again, Love the fm-ish mayhem!
Great stuff!
So my recommendations:
- always consider which parts play the key role in a certain section of the song, and try to build your mix around that part. Start by having only those key parts, pull down thevolume on the rest, and try to bring em one by one to a volume what's sounds appropriate. Start with the one that you feel is most important and finish with the least important. Like a director, place your actors on the stage based on their importance to the play.
- Cut some high end on the noise-ish, bright "effect" sounds. Those chaotic high frequencies add together rather quickly, and it might be tiring to listen to that. Sure, having them all together with all their high frequency content can have great dramatic impact, but only if you let them together once in a while.
