Both widgets have the updated version of the tune. Due to the number of people reporting that the indaba player isn't working, I went ahead and updated my Soundcloud with the new track.

Hehe Snoop Dog.

The vocals are pretty toned down, but i kinda like it.

Overall it sounds nice, i dont think too much of the bassline though.

What don't you like about it?

a) Not loud or defined enough in the beginning?
b) Muddy/Too Loud/Too Busy/??? once it gets going? (Please explain)
c) Doesn't fit in with the music, at all?
d) Too Old Skool - as in kindergarten; 1991 called - they want their bass-line back?
e) Not dark enough?
f) None of the above? I just didn't like it.

I dont like the some of the notes the bass goes at. Like when it goes UP, UP, DOWN on the last measures.

Really, really beautiful melody and atmosphere. Nice percussion. Liked the bass.

While I like the "tree" vocal part, I don't know if you did some effect to snoops lyrics that give it a slight echo effect in the background? Not a fan of that. Really love the singing tree and the background vocals though.

Great remix imo

That was really cool except for one thing that I couldn't stand in the beginning. The overlapping sound of Snoop's vocals just sounded really weird, it was a bit much I think. Otherwise, great job.

Definitely agree that you could do without the delay on the vox in the beginning, the listener could get a little frustrated being confronted with that right at the outset haha. Maybe experiment with putting an echo on a word or two here and there for dramatic effect, or try toning it down to a cleaner room reverb? The rap vocals aren't my cuppa tea at all but I really like the chords you've created with your piano and pads, you really bring a nice warmth to the track and delivers that 'soul' as promised by your remix title. The pad could be deepened by boosting its lower mids slightly though, if it doesn't interfere with your bass too much. All the best for this contest Eddie

But when you lay still, in the fallen tides
That's where I'll be

i think that bass needs some softening or eqing.

but i loved the other elements. i do not like the bass.

Gonna have a listen soon!

The low vocal layering stands out as a little atypical, for me, too - I'll probably tone that down drastically. I like some of the things that it does, but right in the beginning I can hear that being a little much, myself. I'll also take a look at cleaning up the bass-line without having to do a major rework. I've got a laundry list of stuff - mostly touching stuff up like panning and EQing a couple of tracks that are bugging me, here and there with no major rework of any standing parts. I'll be sure and post up the final mix, in this thread, when I'm done.

Thanks, tons, for the feedback, everyone. Very useful insights.

I'm not so keen on the drums as they sound as those from many tracks over the last 20 years. They kinda suit the track but for me aren't bringing anything new to the table, which some will say is fine, but others might deem as a bit tired.

The bass line comes in and sounds like it's something being mixed in from a new track - it doesn't sit so well and some notes are quite a lot louder in resonance than others, so I agree on the softening comment above.

It's hard for me to feedback on this one as I don't know this style at all, so please ignore everything I've said above!

Wickedly good

I agree that the drums are old school but that doesn't bother me in the slightest, and the breaks and fills are all in the right place.

The strings could use some nice wid verb on them to complement the rest of the track.

I do think the bassline has some issues though. It's a bit boomy and the sound itself may not even be right in the first place. It sounds like it should be a bass guitar playing, but it's playing next door.

Great vibe overall though, I wish I could come up with stuff like this instead of my 'walls of noooooise!!'

Tres kewl
