whoisp Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Yes i know not many are football fans but iv'e been a Leeds lad since a kid and did this track for my 50yrs anniversary. If you ever went to a Leeds match and hear the crowd sing, i don't think there is one music producer, musician or music enthusiast that doesn't get chills down their spine the first time you go to Elland Rd. Anyway i mixed it up with EDM and Guitar. Was a project to update my templates which I'm still doing. The sidechain ducking is close, had fun with gating and the parallel compression. I could have tweaked more but where do you stop? I slammed the bass guitar so it was more blended and didn’t stick out too much which did jeopardise my dynamics and low end glue. I was touch and go with the guitar, I sat it in and it lost its flavour, so rolled stuff back. I did have a a drum kit, so I always get particular with Kick and snap in the snare. I wanted the snare/synth/guitar to dominate loudness to get a high energy and drama. The vocals I could have sat them in a tad with some saturation or comp but I cut the low end for them to cut through even with some ducking (sacrifice) cut much low which unglued a tad. I just got the master in the ball park but happy in general considering i still updating templates so probably do another EDM mixed type track Edited January 26, 2023 by whoisp 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeEarCandy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think it sounds good. High energy. Plays well with the video (good video work). The only thing I was considering was if the kick is loud enough, but upon more consideration, its loud enough and I'm not struggling to hear it on my cans. However I wonder how this will sound with ear buds and smaller speakers, which I do not have. I like all the different elements that pop in and out to spice this up. Nice work so far as my ears can tell. Enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i tested it on Samsung phone speaker, the kick is hard to hear in parts on phone, my phone ear buds pretty good though with flat. I test on my old monitors with sub on/off, Sony studio cans, ear buds and expensive beats which blow my ears off. If you get very busy round a kick you normally have to sacrifice somewhere or its just a constant kick which dance, trance and techno people like but its sort off alternative sound track so i made a compromise and sort of works i think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I Really Liked all the energy in this one. I especially liked the deep drum rolls. At times I was wanting to hear the kick and chorus vocals up about a half db . Fantastic job on the video as well .. Nice .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great question, but I find that I should always stop about 2 steps before I finally do. I think you should contact the team and pitch this to them. It would be perfect on the big screen at the stadium with full volume. I really appreciate the way you always seek to have better mixes. I learn from your queries on the sub forums. Keep on seeking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi great track , tremendous energy and sounds great really enjoyed it and the video - great idea from Jesse to pitch it to the club - would sound fabulous blasting around the stadium Cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Great work ! Definitely enough to get the fan base charged up. I am sure that the team office would like this one. Perhaps this could replace "We Are The Champions" in stadiums around the world!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Good track by the way - not my thing (musically or sport-wise) but it does what it needs to do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kevin, not normally my thing, but i keep my eye on school boy team and playing with EDM type vibe is really opening up ideas and helping me with my cakewalk project template, my track and bus templates. Plus ive been using patches in various ways with gate ducking, sidechain and parallel compression to then send to buses. Patches are powerful to do various things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I know what you mean - I've been churning out tracks recently with one aim being to experiment with different "things", be that effects, automation, Cakewalk features I haven't used much... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Especially if you do wacky things with it - I "accidentally" played a reverb parameter in one recent track and it made the particular instrument sound interesting. So I did it again. And again. And... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My automation was silly though - change the decay from being in time to being in beats, so there was a crazy jump in the sound that gave a real "twang" from time to time. Usable in one song ever, I think, but it gave me enough ideas to really go crazy on the rest of the track too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the best sounds and FX came from mistakes and hardware break down etc Now you look at dubstep sounds with crazy filters etc doing strange sounds which are getting cut in to pro tracks, especially all the bottom end sub raptor wave type sounds etc which were mistakes back in the day lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e really been working on my templates which i now realise will probably take about 10 project to achieve my goal. My project template is 36 track with about 10 buses and a few patches which you can use for sidechain, Para Comp and gating. My track, bus (mix bus too) and pro channel templates are not becoming more consistent that i can tweak which speeds up work flow and hopefully i can then be more relaxed to work on creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
