This is a pretty good remix!

The quality is quite good, though there are some digital blips around 2:30. For a dancer though, the almost minute and a half without a bass beat can be a floor killer That doesn't mean that it's not a good remix, just maybe have another mix that is a little tighter on the dead space (no bass beat). My only other suggestion is that you have other instruments come in on your second and third chorus. This will help build the energy of the track. Usually something in the trebble range--you only need something really faint and high to add a lot more energy to the song.

Overall, this sounds like a professional mix to me--and I've got thousands of songs, good and bad in my cd rack

Thanks for your honest review, Dj Flesch.

I took a listen around the 2:30 area but I didn't notice any digital blips, so maybe it is a problem with the file server I am using. On the area of extra instruments, the 2nd and 3rd parts actually do have more instruments respectively, (more strings/brass, and an extra bassline), although the bass is a little quiet and it blends in with the chorus. Thanks for your tips, I will keep this all in mind for the next remixes and productions I do.


To Rising:
Thanks, I'm glad you like it, I made this one in FruityLoops with some extra plugins, and did the mastering in Cool Edit.

Bassline is a killer mate!!!

I would like to hear more percussions , it's sounds empty atm.
Also get rid of the snare u used as a clap. They tend to slow the song down IMO.

But still , it's one of the better remixes I've heard of this track!
Good job ElZap0! And again , the bassline is awsome!!!

Cheers!

Robstar: Thanks for your review. It means a lot coming from a professional. (ps: 'Parker - Fade Away' is awesome!)

It's a .OGG file. Winamp supports it by default.. higher quality at equal bitrate compared to mp3.. so I made it around 128kbps vbr. Most people use Winamp anyways. If you come onto ICQ I can send you an mp3 of it if you'd like. (either that or find an ogg plugin for whatever you use to listen to music).

that's exactly what i use!!

but i couldn't get windows media player, real player, quicktime, and winamp to play it...

could u upload like an mp3 or wav version of it?

The ogg file has now been replaced with an mp3 file. Enjoy!
