Vanguard, in this sense, is a reference to the ideology Lenin adopted during the Bolshevik revolution. A military dictatorship that would prelude to his "Communist Utopia". We won't get political, don't worry, but that was the idea behind making the song partially.


Hey, thanks for the front page and all the kind votes and messages and downloads and all your other wonderful little things! If you really want to help me out, the best way is to listen to this on all of your streaming services. Some such being Pandora, Spotify, Itunes, and those types.

Other than the guitars and drums, I feel mix is done quite well. I'm having a hard time picking out bass. It sounds like guitars were not double tracked but a chorus applied. Rhythm guitar has a pretty heavy cab noise/room sound to it which I feel it would sound so much better without. It's a bit muddy. The low mids are rumbly in the wrong way imo.

However, writing is GREAT

Snare is suffering from the same over-reverb sound as the snare. I want to hear more high mid on it

Great work otherwise!

listen to the new song i made (the system is flawed)
i fixed a lot of those mixing issues, was compressing everything too much so i just dialed back the compression and everything became a lot clearer
my guess is that because of the level of compression everything was getting squashed together too much, especially the drums with the high-frequency cymbals and low-frequency bass kick trying to be evened out
similarly with the bass, there was two compressors on it, one before and then after the distortion, just turned off the one before it recently and it gets a lot cleaner and more authentic/human sound (very open, roomy, mid/high-mid heavy)
i will take into account these criticisms even through, however, but the reason i chose this song was simply that this song was done before the newer one (otherwise i would have chosen the newer one because its millions times better)

tldr: listen to newer song, i was compressing everything too much and squashing the sounds together making it all sound same-y and indifferent to each other

Классный дроп, но астольное такое, но трек отличный

Definitely sounds very military/fleet like, good job on passing that feeling along! There is a lot of variation going on that makes the song sound like a whole story almost, since there's very little repetition as well. Mixing is also very well done, every instrument just shines. Awesome work, keep it up!
