[SOUNDCLOUD]https://soundcloud.com/britney-star/amethyst-full-version[/SOUNDCLOUD]' My first song publicly released. It took about 3 weeks to complete with many different techniques and experimentation. This was made in my free time and I took my time on it to make sure that it was ready to be released. I think it turned out great. Feedback is appreciated.
Simply seeing the sound visualization, I see that there isn't any dynamics at all. In fact, it's probably so loud that it's being dynamically compressed, which reduces everything's volume to just under audio distortion (clipping), yet still introduces distortion in that no instrument can be properly expressed. Usually, there is a limiter to keep sound from clipping, so find it in the mixer and reduce the amplifier (gain) to 70-80% the original value. There is usually a way to automate the volume during the track, as to crescendo up to more exciting part. It makes for a much more awesome effect. I actually kind of like the progression in the start. It presents an interesting, rather original set of chords leading up to the drop. Just start at a lower volume, and crescendo into the drop for a cool effect.
