Ken Ashcorp put out a new song. And it's so chill and awesome!

DUUUUDE! BRO! DUDE! KEN ASHCORP IS MY FAVORITE! 

New Ken Ashcorp song >.>

Inital first impression feedback on this?

 

I feel like the kick after the drop threw me off a little. Like the build up was good, but the kick wasn't hype enough. I imagined a clap and a kick going at the same time. Maybe it's just me being crazy though. It is 1:23am and I'm tired and such lol.

I will, in image form.

 

Y'know, something like this, but fancier.

What do you think?

Ooooooo, I never thought about using bullet holes in the name. That's really cool XD

I have an idea.

Elaborate bro! lol

MUST. NOT. DO. A. FANGIRL. SCREAM.

 

 

I can make you one but it will be simple like mine if that's okay. Text and background image but with some sick font that has some effects on it and the BG color graded.

Well that pretty much just locked in the chances of you going pro lol. That's so cool! And if you are ok with doing the whole text on a background thing for me then I'll use it I'd prefer some kind of animeish theme background though.

So something like this.

Or this one. I really like this one.

Unless you have something that you think would fit more. You can go ahead and use it instead XD

That feel when you don't know this feel lol

You'll get it as you upload more works and gain followers XD

So... Here's what I've been working on for the past few days... I think it's my best track yet.

You gonna finish this one lol

I think I fixed some of the stuff. I muted the vengeance kick, lowered some of the mid frequencies, and I separated the basses a little bit.

Wow, this is... freaking epic.

 

Matrix, you will reach far.

This is my newest release... You might remember the melody as I posted it here ages ago.

 

If you keep up the awesome music I'll get to brag about knowing someone famous XD

When I listen to your songs I kinda think of purple and pink. Lel.

 

There will be one day when you realize you have quite a lot of talent and finally go and fcking buy the goddamn FL Studio and make some tunes that get on edm.com D:

 

Promoters. Without them I would have like 20 followers or less probably.

 

Here are some that are nice:

Labels are essentially promoters btw! They just have some more "rules" lol.

This works lol. I'll use it XD

My favorite promotion channels and/or record labels are these ones.

As far as I know, King Step, NCS, Nexus Network, and Tasty Network are pretty lenient compared to some of the other high end promoters and labels.

Actually, as a promoter I'm probably a little too exclusive about what I want to promote. Even though I only have like 550 subs

Totally ripped off a tutorial for some quick entertainment XD

Sounds way better than before!

Alright sweet. That means I can actually hear the different frequencies much better with my new headphones XD

Nice vibes! It sounds like the "New Stuff" project in FL Studio 12 though, talking about the chords that is.

 

I will leave some technical feedback cause no one can get enough of it

 

1. The dynamics are off. It sounds like you pushed too hard into a limiter or something. Like all woobely all over the place. This occurs throughout the whole track. I would double check the mastering or maybe you have done some inappropiate compression in your mix.

 

2. The reverb is too slow to kick in and it has too much low mids in them. Send them to another buss and cut the lows from them and set the reverb delay time to something that matches the rythm better.

 

2. Layer the main saw chords with something wide. The whole mix is quite narrow.

 

3. The drums could use some NY compression. They are a bit muffled and doesn't cut through enough.

Sweet. I'll look into this stuff. I'm trying to use pro tools to do the mixing which is kind of hard lol.

It's poorly mixed but what's happening is that it's a regular kick with a lot of thump to it aka mid freqs. Did you mean that you thought it was a kick+snare 4/4 pattern or that you think I should add a clap? Cause I have no clap on every beat now.

kick+snare 4/4 pattern

I won't be posting here any more.

Awww, that's too bad. Well keep pursuing a musical career!

Wait! You are not supposed to cut the lows from the bass (unless you mean simply decreasing certain frequencies by a tad amount)! xD You are supposed to cut it from the chords, leads and etc. Everything that doesn't need stuff going on in the sub 150 Hz area. I really underestimated this and now I usually decrease a lot from the 200-800 Hz area too. That's the region which always muds up fast.

Well I noticed that I had the frequencies for the bass were turned up a lot higher than everything else and they were kind of overpowering the rest of the mix. And I am using two different basses. One for normal lows and such and then one for the subs

I finished a song for one of my college classes XD

chime someone took your alias

 

This happened to me when I wanted to take the alias "Siren" And it was a really popular artist that took the name too lol. Also really like the new song. Would have said something sooner, but I just noticed that the thread is fixed

Haha xD, why would you use Pro Tools for mixing? Isn't that over complicating things? There is no real need of its managing and workflow unless you are doing huge projects like orchestra stuff imo. Sound is same between DAWs. In any case, when I hear your mixes I kinda think you are over complicating the process. Lots of things are being processed even though they don't need it. Also cutting more lows is also recommended for ye xD.

I'm using pro tools because the class I'm making the song for says I gotta do it. And yeah, I've been cutting out a bunch of lows in the bass line

So after many hours of struggling to find solid ground to build onto the chords I've been throwing up, I think I might have something. No where close to being done though lol. Going to see how far I can get with it tomorrow.

Well I guess this is still on topic, so...

 

 

That Second Flight guy I was singing the praises of earlier did a remix of my song!

I wish someone would remix my music lol. Someone asked once, but there was never a follow up for that.

Its good I like the drop a lot. But you should really stop using the vengeance samples. The vengeance kick hit really hard and doesn't fit in your prog style at all imo. The hats are also a bit too loud and not panned so it kinda sounds like the kick is going 1/8 if you know what I am saying since the kick high end and the hat sound very similar. I can send you two or three custom kicks that are really nice for your style if you want. Cut some more lows/mids out of stuff that dont need it too so you reduce some of that weight/mudd in your mix which will be a disaster in a car system for example.

 

Also take a look at your arrangements. I know you love deadmau5 but unless you really know what you're doing when doing these super long intros, I think you should stick to more catchy/faster arrangements cause honestly the intros are always a skip for me on your songs while the drop often is amazing.

 

Now, it kinda sounds like you haven't seperated your bass (lowmid) from a simple sub. I think you should because the dynamics is kinda wtf in the lows right now since you have like that nice upper bass going on but the same dynamics kinda screws my headphones' sub.

Sweet thanks. I kind of know what you are talking about lol. I got a new laptop recently and I can hear a lot more with it compared to my old one when I listen to the soundcloud file. Now I just have to figure out how to get my version of fls onto the new computer so I don't have to pay for another version. Then I can actually start making better edits.
