Hey guys we're back in my home studio and today's Freedom Partner Spotlight goes to a producer slash DJ by the name of Overdrive Music. Let's go ahead and check them out. Now regarding your music I would recommend adding more videos to your page as right now you only have a handful of songs or videos and I would love to hear some more music from you. Now regarding the music itself it's actually pretty good. One of the few things I would recommend though is listening to these songs I could tell that it needs a lot of punch, it's lacking clarity and right now it's pretty unbalanced. So one of the things that we definitely recommend is balancing out your beats, adding some punch, picking up the kick, adding some clarity by raising up your mids and your high frequencies and this will definitely add some punch and some clarity to your production. In the past I've actually spoken on the use of panning and the use of reverb to adding presence to your mix and your sounds and your production can definitely use some of this. You seem to keep everything right in the middle which is okay but I like to experiment, add some panning, add some reverb, give some really cool effects and that's going to grab your listeners attention a lot more than having a beat that's just kind of plain kind of dull and doesn't have any punch to it. Now I did notice that your latest video does have some vocals on it which is actually pretty cool but it seems pretty rough not mixed and doesn't have any attention paid to it when it comes to mixing these vocals and your production. So off the bat I would definitely recommend throwing an EQ, throwing some compression, adding some reverb and using some delays to give that vocal a nice effect going with your production. Now going forward on the Nova show and on the Beaton YouTube channel we will be having a lot more mixing tutorials to help you guys out when it comes to mixing and production and getting your songs to sound as best as possible. Now aside from that I would love to see your progression as a producer and as a DJ so please keep us updated when it comes to your music, please keep commenting and supporting the Nova show like you normally do. Now that's it for today's episode of the Nova show, please tune in on Friday for the next Beaton Partner Spotlight, until then you guys take care.
