Narrow reverb for wide mix?
1. choose a room sound that matches your song (pop in just a small amount of reverb)2. take one element to reverb narrow/or process oddly to match emotional intent3. ??4. ProfitSeriously though, these instagram accounts tend to be a bit over dramatic so always question them and how they would potent...
Song Feedback Durres
The beat is definitely good, the vocal will need the most work. With songs like this it's very hard to get that right as it's extremely limited regarding the amount of tracks.
Input processing for reverb or eqing after?
Rule of thumb is the emotional intent of the song, second clean it up after with an eq accordingly. Make sure to experiment with convolution reverb to really focus on the intent of the song.
How to set the right amount of decay time on your Reverb
Use the send knob to set the amount of reverb you like. As a suggestion I would only push the reverb till you can just hear it for the drum room. Don't make it too wet out of the box, can get a little messy, and please do not put in the kick drum.
Legowelts Tamborine (sampled it from YouTube)
When you need real instruments sample it from YouTube :). A go to to add real flavour to any of your songs. Just make sure to warp correctly and watch out with Beat mode as it is a bit iffy if you warp too much

Bit of a warning here. The digitakt was recorded off the grid, so all the instruments do not line up.

Freebie to download again, and a quick room and song analysis
Hey guys,The limiter with adjusted gain is really nice for anything transient heavy. Just put it on and shave off the transient.
analysing Porter Robinson from a mixing engineers pov
Sorry for that RX7 did not playback audio.On that loudness part, the references I get in for pretty heavy Techno music is now also about -9 lufs and I think that says quit a lot about this song
How to set the right amount of bass
How you perceive sound is also something you need to take into consideration. I highly suggest headphones if you are in a sub par room and sonarworks.
Techy arp sound
Throw in a chord device and an arpeggiator and go even more crazy. Good luck!
Track critique number 4
Enjoy, and good job!
Konari's Womp Lead
Mess with the wav form and the filter types to fit it to your song :). Also throw on a slap delay
Raymond's Lead sound
The upper register has the mid side set to more middle and the other one to more side.
Track critique number 3
Main take away, put the song in mono and mix. Once it's balanced in mono go back to stereo
Track critique number 2

the first track 'critique' video
