    Ripper (Original Mix)

    So the story is, I posted some WIP here in the summer (got some positive feedback), and finished the song shortly after. Decided it was my best work and sent it off to a pretty decent record label. They said they loved it, and would get back to me after mastering a "premaster" version I sent. I, tried emailing several times over many months and didn't hear anything back so I pretty much gave up on them.

    Throughout that process though, I decided I could really work on my mixing and mastering skills myself (and determined much of what was lacking in the finished product of my tracks was alleviated through better mixing, rather than the final mastering stage). So perhaps it was a blessing in disguise for my future works.

    Anyway, I've since re-mixed/mastered the track myself, and would still like to send it off to some labels considering I received positive feedback from a decent one initially, despite them not responding in the end.

    So I'd like any feedback I could use to perfect the song before sending it off to other labels:

    [Actively listening/typing]

    0 - I like the intro so far
    0:30 - Was expecting a heavier kick but I'm sure it's coming in later.
    1:05 - And there it is! Enjoying this part a lot. Especially the synth choice.
    1:34 - That lead is GREAT! Love it!
    1:59 - Liking the synth work here.
    2:56 - Sounds great except for that bass synth. I think something in the low end would sound great but I feel that what you're using right now is too distracting and taking away from the awesome melody work. I think it fits in your ending though.

    Great job! What are you using to mix and master?

        Thanks fellas. I guess I could change the bass synth at the end or at least maybe try eqing it differently so the melody stands out more?

        I use fl studio for mixing. Mastering, I have ozone but I don't think I'm too good at using it lol. Still trying to learn, but definitely been focussing on my mixing skills recently

          Nice song. I agree the bass synth in the last section sounds too rough.
          Really like it though.
