  • Working on a remix comp. Any thoughts on this one?

    • Better than the original. The mix is pretty cool, just take the kick 0.5dB. down and its good. If you want to keep the punch, then remove some of the kick from 350-550.

      And yes I complain about kick all the time, even my own. But if you take your track on speakers, and begin turning the volume down, it ends up with a very dominant kick in the mix.

      • Cheers Piv, I took out a bunch already, but will notch out a little more in the low miss. Considering it’s the one sound that plays for at least 80 to 90% of your track the kick is pretty important 😉

      • One trick I’ve been using lately to control the low end frequencies is using soothe as a dynamic eq. Dialing in frequencies from about 130 and below, and then setting attack time so it really only affects the end of the kick and releases quickly. If you take about a lot fo that sub info it really cleans up the low end. 100% of my earlier tracks…Read More

        • I use Fabfilter MB limiter for that trick . I really dont like these new plugins. They got so many phase issues because it basically a 48k band dynamic EQ.

          Im not saying there is no need for kick. But this one is headphone mixed, and you can hear it on speakers.

          • I hear you on phase issues. Especially in the lows. I’ve been using shaperbox to look at the wave of my kick in real time while processing, to see what the impact of any editing is. That’s helped a lot to confirm the change’s and avoid mis aligning the phase. I’ll post some screenshots when I’m home over the weekend.

    • mix sounds good, as for the kick, I’ll take Piv’s word on that! Love the movement on the main bass/synth. Getting the low end to sound right has always been my biggest problem…

      • Cheers Paul. Get the low end right, and the rest falls into place. It’s a journey for sure.

        • Not a fan of the vocal, but then I guess it wouldn’t be much of a remix if you took it out 🤣 Rest sounds great to me – really like the bass and shufflly hats (???) from the get go. And, yeah could maybe take a little off the kick without losing much.

          • Made some updates to the mix. Dropped kick by a full DB, better EQ on claps, some additional compression on the mixdown, and some serious reduction on the background foley that was just creating a noisy floor. Aced the car test, I’m thinking this one is done.…Read More

About Me

Ian Whaters

Pastoral care

Music bio

Artist name: DJWhaters

From: South East UK

Style: My passion for hard dance music was sparked from a young age…. But more recently I have ventured in to the Techno Arena

I love making music that is harder in style, Frenchcore is a unique solid sound that you either love or hate, my sounds are unique and individual but I’m making music I like and not chasing fame or money but making music to escape reality

For me it was fresh sounds and ignited my rebellious streak as everyone around me conformed to mainstream music & too scared to stand out & I like to own it & make my music stand out and different to the norm

My passion for hard dance music was sparked from a young age, but more recently I have ventured in to the Techno Arena just for a learning experience.

I finally had opportunity and support and freedom to take the leap with producing music in a recent low budget movie in London

Music for me is all about playing with sounds & keeping it fresh, both Hardcore and Techno ignited my rebellious streak as everyone around me conformed to mainstream music as it allows me to make it my own and stand out and be different to the norm as I can adapt my style to tell stories with music or just to have fun
