Listening... Can't remember the original at this point, but I guess it comes back to me while I listen to your mix
Stereo separation on your bass? Sounds like it's too loud, at least on my speakers. A lower cutoff freq. would maybe do the trick. Warm atmosphere with the percussion and all, nice one! Smooth breakdown. Main part is good, especially when the clap starts. I could dream myself away in this tune. I love it!

Nice reverbed sound in the intro.

You're going very heavy on the bass and sub-bass here. I like that.

I didn't really like the suddenness of the pad's attack at around 4:55. probably use some low pass automation there.

The way everything just sort of dropped out there at the end made the track seem unfinished. You could try to give it more of a definite ending.

Posted by RickyM on May-25-2005 08:55:

Thanks man, yes you are right about the ending and the pads at the breakdown, I've been listening and need to change that. Ill update it when I have time - fucking exams

Posted by Az on May-25-2005 12:14:

liking it
synths sound a little thin though

Posted by RickyM on May-27-2005 12:41:

Yeah I might update it if i have time.

You have chosen very beautiful soundsamples in this one, mate! And I think it sounds nice and chilled. You're developing, I can hear!!!

Posted by RickyM on May-27-2005 23:28:

Thanks , Alex i like to think im improving

i like the bassline the drums percs and stuff.

i dont really like the pads. you could use a more up-front sound after the break cuz the pads are just perfect and you have to show it.

i like the bleeps or whatever they are.

i dont like the break when the pads start. i guess you were going for a short break so (just an idea) add whoshes and fx b4 the beat stops and then a big fat reverd boom bam smack w/e, with the pads starting with it. no need for overused lowpass plus if you use lowpass you d have to make a bigger break imo.

overall i think its missing some dynamics in general maybe compression could fix it dont know or maybe its my speakers. its a very good remix but i dont know... i wouldnt buy the vinyl for example. maybe because its very progish for me.

maybe ill remix it too! but there's no way theres gonna be a remix better than the original imo.

Thanks though man for the feedback, and gerry.

good beatwhen it begins man (y) nice signature sounds as well to mix in.

That reverbed synth is cool indeed.

I dig the bassline you made.

Not allot of perc, i like that tbh. but they are bright enough.

2.30 that pad can be a tiny bit louder imo.

3.32 you should break it down there imo.

4.55 nice pads, but here the transition sounds so sudden.

I am missing some dynamics here as well, also some transitions sounds a bit rough , they need to be looked on.
Further i think this can be very nice, but i would re-arrange it personally.

I also must add, the first 1.30 min were giving me this nice vibe with the reverbed sounds and such, but later on i felt the feeling is gone.

Thats all mate and tnx for review
