My collab with another guy. Obvious Ticon influences, some euphoric/uplifting melodies in the second part. Not especially psychedelic, but I like it 

 

If only Ticon's music was this detailed and rich...

 

Not really a fan of this style, but - technically speaking - I think you're putting too much effects on bass (a reverb, perhaps?) which somehow clouds the overall mix, drowning some of the other sounds. If it was dryer, I think the mix would gain more clarity. Or maybe you should make the bass sound shorter? I love all the 'accidental' sounds, the stuttering acids, etc. The 2nd part also releases the energy and emotion pretty flawlessly, the key changes are spot-on. This track wouldn't be out of place on some progressive trance compilation, really :)

Thanks! :)

 

No, there is no reverb on the bass, something else must be the source of the problem. I'm always struggling with the bass - it's either too weak or too fat. I'm mostly mixing in headphones lately so getting the right balance is somehow tricky.

Yeah, that doesn't help. At least make sure you use 2-3 different sets (with different sound response / sound colouring). Maybe try shortening the Decay / Release on the bass? It's not that it's too bassy, it's just that the lower-mids from the bass seem to be too present in the mix (IMO, obviously). I personally like to add some delay to bassline (if it's modulated, of course) but there needs to be a high-pass filter before it.

Yeah, this is what I normally do - I check my stuff on 5 inch monitors (when my daughter is neither screaming nor sleeping which happens occasionally), on consumer speakers, at phone. Takes time to learn how  to lsiten and what to hear but I think I'm slowly making progress.

I actually like that bassline, personally and technically. Fits to the track.

Thanks, that's good to know!
