I need constructive criticism for my first track

Post Posted

This is my first full song fusing WH with elements from other genres such as Black Metal and Industrial.

holy shit this is actually really good, I mean, I pressed play without any high hopes (thinking it will sound like a beginner WH track), but it's a well made composition, I like the drum work, atmosphere and transitions

my biggest issue with track is the synth that kicks in for 10sec at 2:13 - seems a bit underwhelming and unnecessary

Thank you so much ! its going to be sent off to be properly mastered and mixed, I dont know how to master/mix so thats why the drums seem kinda mehh and muddy at times. I tried to mix it myself but unfortunately I get muddy results ;_; Mix/mastering is a whole different ball game and its too overwhelming for me I get frustrated.

I was looking in fiverr for someone to master it, do you think Brant would be willing to mix/master it ? I'd pay him of course.

I'm sure he'd be down, end of the day it's his job. I think the price is the limit here, but then again the question you have to ask yourself if you want to have professionally mastered track/ep/album or get a random guy on fiverr to (most likely) run it through some automated software.

Anwyay, I will show him this thread, he used to post here as @∆AIMON.
