Yeah! love hearing this new cut, Stu!

I enjoyed all the stank you put on the variety of sounds. :0

Curious if the kick could slap a smidge more though really like the thudiness of it.

:49 – this transition felt a bit off to me, like maybe not everything hit right on the 1 beat. Might nudge something in there.

Snare felt a little hot (maybe the 3k-10k range) in my Sony 7508’s headies.

Otherwise, mix levels are sounding nice to me!

Thanks J – As usual, on point 🙂 I’ll tweak that transition, try some side chaining for the kick, and sprinkle some pixie dust eq on the snare.

Appreciate it!

Hi Stuart, nothing specific to mention except what Jeremy mentioned about the snare coming in a little hot. Loved the overall mix. I think the tension / suspense cue aspect is conveyed nicely.

Thanks for listening David! I appreciate the feedback 😊

Stuart! This is super cool, man – love it! Tension for sure ⚡️. FWIW, dropping a couple thoughts here on an otherwise fun, exciting mix and production!

• The synth lead at 0:52 feels real loud to me against the track. Try turning it down? orrr … try leaving it loud but with heavy side-chain compression keyed by the kick and snare, which would give the synth some aggro pumping action AND it would let the kick and snare cut through the synth better so those drums stay powerful and upfront (right now that synth is kinda drowning out the kick/snare).
• I love how huge the snare is! That said, I want the kick to be JUST as huge as the snare. Currently the kick feels a bit low-volume. Crank that thing up so it punches me in the GUT!

That’s all I got, man – killer job!! And thanks for sharing with us all!

Love these notes! Thanks so much Dana. Already on it. Opting for AGRO😎

Woo! Can’t wait to hear it, man!
