Hinkik

I played soccer. I scored a goal. Got called Henkick cause my name is Henrik. Wanted to fit Henkick into my Pokemon game. Only 6 characters limit. ???. Hinkik.

So basically, don't just take something you come up with cause it sounds cool. It will be cringe worthy if you it's obvious that it has been made that way.

Why is your CPU load so high? When you streamed you were at 30% all the time. Considering you only seem to use 3xOsc and were streaming at the same time you shouldnt get a few sec freeze between skips. Have you checked your framebuffer? And you can freeze tracks you know. And lastly, there is an option to smartly turn off plugins to save CPU load. Dont remember the name though.

If it sounds empty then it might be some phasing issues. Chech the mix in mono before exporting it. Otherwise you might be compressing badly (or not at all?) A dynamic track in a car stereo gets really quiet. Do you run the mix through some kind of brickwall limiter? It's necessary to some degree if you want it to get louder.

A basic mastering chain should look like this:

1. EQ

2. Compression

3. Limiter

Mine looks like this:

First some mixing things I do which is taken in consideration when I master:

Drums routed to a EQ n compress, same with all my keys and bass but the keys and bass are then routed to another single channel that is slightly compressed with the fx channel. The sub bass goes directly to the master channel cause I want the most pure sine wave I can get.

Then all those are routed to the master channel which isn't actually the master channel its a seperate channel which I just routed everything to. I do this to be able to simply turn off my whole mix if I wanna reference it to some reference track I have.

In the "master channel" I have:

1. EQ

2. Multiband compressor and limiter (aka dynamics)

3. Sometimes I have a saturator here

4. Sometimes I have a stereo widener here

5. Brickwall limiter

6. Sometimes an post EQ

My RMS is around -8 dB in the breakdowns, -6 in the intros and outros and around -3 in the drop. The mix is always as loud (in RMS) in mono as it is in stereo.

Probably both needs some less freqs in the 300-600 area haha. Actually the mix sounds probably very nice on most headphones but I have learnt to lessen on some stuff that make tracks sound awesome on headphones like muddy freqs and high bass. Cause when I put it in the car or something, it's a complete disaster.

One good tip is that if you solo a track, it doesn't need to sound awesome. Its supposed to sound awesome in conjuction with the mix. Before I had this mindset I always thought all sounds had to sound great in solo so my leads all had layered high freqs, my bass and piano/pluck always clashed and so on.

Well ok then lmao. I can senderino it tomorrow probably. But honestly, I think someting like sylenth1 would be an even better buy for you. That synth is soooo great I love it. Serum is even better though but sylenth1 is better for progressive stuff.

Anytime from 15:45 to 22:00 on non weekends. But sometimes I have lessons to like 18:45.

Btw I just noticed that you can check your totalt work time on each project file in FL studio.

So here is some work times I have:

Predator: 12 h

Guardian: 32 h

A silent voice: 3 h (sry chaos )

Nåväl: 6 h

Invaders: +46 h (dont know more since it's splitted into three project files and the third one is lost)

Put on harder sidechain on the bass/remove the on beat note and you will get the classic melbourne bounce sound.

Thanks man, but I only used one instance of massive in that song actually. Most were Serum and Sylenth1 haha.

But mixdowns.. well just create the track, then you can remove all effects and properly mix it.

@Chaos Dont know whether this is a remix or a collab since you haven't released the track yet but here is my version anyways:

Probably need to re master it cause I finished it now and the time is currently 02:00 in the night...

Also, please decide if it's a collab or remix. I don't care since it was fun for me
