[Made this live for Winterfest :)]

Fantastic tune! Thank you so much for sharing your process.

I deeply apologize; I was pulled away by a call and couldn’t see the rest of the stream.
What is your advice on collaborating with game developers, animators, and musicians?

ConnorGrail responds:

No problem, thank you for being there!

In terms of collabing it's always just the best to join a jam or event where people are looking for music, maybe you'll end up grouped with somebody you'll end up working well with. Or just getting in touch with people that you think their work is cool and see if they're open to the idea of trying anything

[nobody like me (instrumental)]

Epic beat! Aaaa!

yagru responds:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Cue rdem??？]

Your song is cool. It has good structure and melody, but the mixing is off—it’s too sharp. It should be balanced out with more bass. Or different instrument sounds, but keep making music!

Easyprojekt responds:

Thank you very much!!
I’ll keep this in mind next time!!
:)))!

[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.

[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
