ok... I will start off by saying it's a good track...
I'm going to keep my compliments short (not because your track sux ;)...) and focus on some constructive criticism
Great pads, fx, very clean and crisp sounds good
Ok... there is just one beef i have with this track... I don't like the style... So with that said, you may choose to ignore everything I say below here b/c it is just my personal opinion:
I feel that the track is kinda slow and not very "danceable" to... I guess it is good music to relax or to put on at night when you sleep... But I guess it's not a track I would want to hear at a club b/c it is kinda too slow and soothing...
ok... with that out of my way, don't get me wrong. I still think this is a great rmx (haven't heard the original) but it is sounding really beautiful and melodic... It is just too soothing (either take that as a good thing or bad thing)...
ok... on to the technical part... I LIKE EVERYTHING technically (which I won't mention) EXCEPT that I think the hats in the percussion are kinda boring and good use a little sizzle at the high end to add life to it and also eq out everything below mid-range... also, try to add some variety or different sounds to it b/c it is the only thing that is driving the percussion on the higher-end frequencies
great track, i guess just not my style... hope my review helped |

I agree. This is great song to chill to but it'd be a good song to hear in the club if you could jack up the BPM a bit further.
Other than that, ti's a well produced track IMO. Reminds me of NU-NRG productions at some points while keeping the excellent melody that Mark Otten came up with. :)
Cheers. |

ok, big review here! much apreciated mate :)
thx but let me tell u that this is only a lo-fi file and doesnt represent the real final sound quality ;)
also u say thats isnt not so 'danceable'. ok, i respect ur comment but i dont make tracks for dance to it but for listen to it and relax to. Anyways if this track could get any release Im gonna change the bpm to 130 or 132 instead of 128 :)
thx to udham too!
cheers |

Hey mate :)
I have to say that the your technical improvement is becoming more obvious with each song :)
This remix sounds reall great, some great FX in there and the synth sounds are very nice, mastering is spot on althouth the bass drum could be a little louder ;)
However,
I agree with everyone, It could be a little faster 132-135 maybe ?
also drop the bassline down an octave as it sounds a bit to high pitched.
Also try changing the percussion to something a bit more interesing. Maybe something housey, shakers panning from left to right maybe ?
would make the mix a bit funkier :)
Over all its a great remix, just work on those minor points and it will be great :)
Good luck on getting it released :D |
