Killer low end.
This with the new software? It sounds crisper to me. Not that it wasn’t crisp before…..Mmmm crispy duck. ;) |
.
Thanks! LOL Actually, no- I was starting to worry that it might be a bit too loud/simple, due to lack of reviewage ;-) I just bumped the low and high end, and goosed the limiter slightly more than usual; I figured the lack of many tracks would survive a little more “oomph”… I’m about to upload a “test drive” remix though, heh.

Lovin’ the funky but restrained bass.
Really, the whole mix is exactly what is needed…nothing extra to distract. Very tasteful. |

A crispness and separation I strive to achieve. Nice work!

i am in love with this mellow synthi - great contrast to the dark groomy moody bass line …
Just like “light” and “shadow” form a depth to an object, this soundlines do add depth to the piece … |

Nice job.
Keeping it simple really works, the splash cymbals felt a bit out of place possibly some sort of phased sound might have been better, but the half time feel works nicely. |
.
Thanks- I figured with the vocoder/production already on there (as well as the nature of the pella), keeping things uncluttered would work; sometimes a track needs to reinforce a mood, not distract from it ;-)
I wasn’t totally happy with how the splashes came out, but it was the closest I had at hand, for the feel I was going for. |

The simple approach suits this style really well but I agree with LS that the cymbal does feel a bit strange. But you know sometimes its good to put odd bits in here and there to stretch those musical barriers. Still strange though!!:)

Hey Duck! The bass in here is awesome, love that sytnh that vibrate all around. I like the fresh style, a mix with room between sounds.
Good Job! |

Hey,…LOL, that_s unfair business practices!! :-) talking only for myself. My subwoofer is jumping, cool bass sound and playing. Don_t believe I could do a track like this. Every single note and drum element is perfectly done. This is some cool slow headbanger track. |

ill bass work I’m listening on headphones and it still sounds sic

Thanks- my ideal would be to have everything sound equally tight on either cans or speakers; maybe when I get some decent monitors and some better mastering software, there’ll be less “Sounds tight on cans and smaller speakers, but like doo-doo on house speakers or my car’s system”, or vice versa… Therefore, positive feedback always helps the learning curve…

sorry to be late to the reviewing party to this one. This is a great groove. Downtempo, yet heavy and every thump and smack means something. And yes, subwoofers jumping with joy here, too :-)

This one has a nice groove. I notice that you arpeggiate all the chords. I suspect that this remix could benefit from the introduction of some full, short chords (with a delay) played along with the arpeggiation. Maybe this could begin somewhere in the middle of the song.
