DarkSim Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This is one of those tunes I've been meaning to remix for years, tried a few times, but now I've properly got to grips with Ableton Live and particularly the samples included in the Essential Instrument Collection 2, I thought I'd have a crack at it. Not sure what genre it is so I've gone for trip-hop. Source material My effort I'd appreciate comments on humanisation and how to improve (if needed - haha), overall arrangement, and if it's too conservative. I've added a considerable amount of improv over the top of what is basically the source for almost the entire song. Also I'm not too sure about the percussion - I found a trip-hop sample loop and cut it up a bit, adding some timpani and a ride cymbal towards the end but I'm not sure that's enough. Thoughts? Thanks a lot, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The whole track seems too heavy on the lows and with a bit too much reverb. The drums a bit excessively heavy too, tho hard to say if reducing the lows a bit is enough to fix that. Interesting source, conservative arrangement but in a new genre. I'd say it's too conservative, but hard to say for sure without learning the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
