Jolly//Pls Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just looking for some feedback on my most recent remix. It's not perfectly mixed, I started on this this morning. Thank you in advanced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I like the glassy stutter synth at the beginning. Good way to establish the atmosphere there. Also good development of textures to keep the groove from getting too stale. However, I would say the lead sound at 1:35 for example, is too thin. Compared to the bass, which is really meaty, the lead is just overpowered when it's playing melody. I would consider picking a different sound for the lead, one that has more body and expression. Lastly, I think the beginning maybe comes in with the claps too quickly (before 0:32), so that the intro doesn't really sound like it eases you into the track; it just starts.

orlouge82 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I really like this a lot. I don't have much technical experience, so I can't really give you feedback on that front, but I'll be watching the thread for when a download link is available EDIT: Looks like Timaeus replied already, and he always gives solid advice!

Jolly//Pls Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I buffed the layered the lead to thicken it during it's initial appearance, used the toned down version for a softer part. Still working on the full flow of the song. It;s giving me pause for some reason, but then I can add ear candy after that. orlouge82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly//Pls Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I added some more effects, changed the bass to something punchier, but not as sustained, adds some bounce. This might be mostly finished outside of some mixing mastering, maybe some more percussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) The intro is a lot better already, just by easing into it! The lead also is improved with your layering so that it isn't basically just thin/resonant. Overall a great boost from what I first listened to. At the moment I would say the hi hats playing the off-beat are kinda loud though (especially at 2:26), either because they're lacking some reverb in the upper-midrange, or they are a little loud in volume, or both. Other than that, just add an ending and you should be well on your way. You seem to have a good idea of pacing here.

Jolly//Pls Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 I took a few days off from it, went back with fresh ears. I lowered the volume of the hats, and added some reverb. Also added another synth in the middle to add some zest, may or may not fit the greatest. Added an outro as well! This should overall be the final piece I'm hoping. Don't hold back with criticism! Thanks in advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Hm... I do think that the new synth (hypersaw?) in the breakdown at 2:10 - 2:40 seems too much. I remember hearing it early on as an accent, and I believe that it isn't needed in this breakdown because it decreases the contrast you have with the more energetic parts of the ReMix. Other than that, just let the ending trail off for longer naturally (it's abrupt right now), and I think you're good to go.

Jolly//Pls Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 I got hit with a bunch of IRL stuff recently, but came back to this tonight and I hope it's done now. I took note of what you said about the hypersaws. I think i was just ear fatigued when I put them in, but i never liked em after that, but I finally had some time to get back to it. Hope you like it. jane and Souperion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souperion Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 N-i-i-i-i-ce. Always good to hear this song remixed in interesting ways. I'd defer to experts like timaeus222 for a proper assessment, but you've accomplished something very cool here. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
