[KOBOLD’S CROSSING | CREATIVE BLOCK #198]

I really enjoy hearing about the commission nightmare; it’s interesting to hear more about bad experiences with commissions. Also, I’m not an expert on wizards, so I couldn’t answer that question!

[Intro]

Great beat, and mixing!

What's your process for mixing?

VariableGR responds:

Thanks!
I've been practicing my mix since previously my songs lacked volume and also bass.
What many people think is that you should start with an EQ, right?
Noup, you need to level up the instruments, percussion and effects first This is achieved by controlling the volume and setting priority pillars.
In this case the kick, the sample and the bass are my three pillars that help guide me on what I want to sound more or sound less.
EQ is not always necessary except in cases of sound shaping and Mastering. Even to clean up unnecessary frequencies in some instrument-sound
Learn to use the multiband compressor and normal compressor It's what can help you highlight little things like Reverb, Echo and other little details. Also, not compressing too much is important so that it doesn't sound like a sausage sound.

Panning with stable parameters gives you a fine stereo feel
Example in this song panning voices and effects like the NG tag
It also plays with mono and stereo, automate this stereo range so that in a few moments it feels like you are traveling through the headphones.

[Hope beyond words]

Thank you for making awesome music!

[endless cycle of pain]

You got this!

[Tengo mucho miedo (I have too much fear)]

Great work!

Great talks, personally my favorite art discourse is when people are just nice.

[Dark Manners]

Super cool song! The composition is really good!

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thank you so mucho! 🍻

[Lulo]

Good reverb it sets the atmosphere. And the melody is cool.

DaxCamdaxian responds:

As a curious fact, when you listen to it without paying attention, it sounds like an ordinary melody but I put false notes so that each time you hear it again it sounds worse and worse lol

[Z Block Man Theme]

Great style, the groove is on point.

[Glass (Jamuary 25)]

Cool piano, good composition.
