New instrumental (Axefx, MF, Sturgis, VSTs)

Alright guys, here's a new song which'll be part of my EP ^^
I've tried to play a bit with GPO for the intro, hope it doesn't sound too weird!
Any advices/feedback is as always much appreciated!

Weeeell people over soundcloud seem to enjoy it, I hope you do too x)
Feel free to give any advice, or if you feel something's weird, just tell it ahah, even about the structure itself, any word of advice or criticism is good to me, I'll take everything into account for my further compositions!

 

[Internity]

really liked it , nice writing man
only comment I have is that the parts sound too separate from each other.. like out of context thing..

btw what are the cymbals ? and what processing you have done?

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks a lot! Well yeah I kinda feel the same way but I don't really know what to do to fix that :/
Cymbals are Metal Foundry's, processing is quite simple (EQ and Comp on each track, plus a bit of reverb on the drums, cleans, solo and synth, EQ, Comp, Limiter and iZotope Ozone on the master bus)

 

[Wibben]

Fantastic song! Both the writing and playing is superb, to my ears!
Are you going to put vocals on it, or is it an instrumental EP?

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks!! I'm planning on recording vocals, but I'm currently struggling with writing them x) Plus I have to be carefull and not let them ruin the overall mood of each song, which is quite hard to do.

I liked the arrangement, and guitar sound. But is mix overcopmressed? It needs some breath, I said, when listened first.

(... and I liked that effect which was like broken soundcard effect.. lol )

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks! You mean the glitch effect? Ahah yeah that one's kinda cool ^^
Well I already removed a lot of compression, and as I was going for the "Peripheryish" mix, I felt like overcompressing the mix was a good idea... Seems like I now need to find the right amount of compression ahah

make sure your master buss starts with your compressor, limiter, then EQ instead of running EQ-comp-limiter unless you just wrote it in random order haha

There isn't a right or wrong chain. I always eq before
I compress. It's just preference an what you think sounds better
