An actionable fix to making your tracks sound more modern is choosing the right sounds.
Of course, every track is different and requires a different selection. Picking the best sounds doesn't always mean using the most expensive VST. Here are some tips that I used to approach this track that has been placed on MTV, VH1, CBS & many other networks 👇
Avoid
❌ Distracting Synths
❌ Outdated Presets that lack energy
❌ Heavy decayed drums that sound flat
❌ Percussion that isn't sonically complimenting
❌ Exaggerated Reverb & Delayed Synths
Instead, try
✅ Short & Snappy drums
✅ Saturated Bass & 808 (but not too much)
✅ Modern Synths that compliment dialogue
✅ Layered Synths
💎 Bonus: Texture & Accent One shots that are in key
