Originally posted by Innocence Lost Well remixing is easy for me really. Starting from scratch is much more difficult for me. This is my 2nd vocal remix and def glad to contribute, cheers.

Then start remixing something and once you have something cool gradually remove everything reminiscent of the original, and you'll end up with something that's entirely your own.

Yeah that came to mind but Cyro aka Dave hooked me up with NI freebies, so its all ok.

Originally posted by MSZ Just wanna say I listened to most of the track posts recently, and dont have crits. But Evo8, I feel there is a lot more you can do with your wip, I agree with Richard and would start with the bassline and work from there.

thanks for the fb dudes, track is done so thats it im afraid!

Originally posted by TranceElevation What do you mean by heavier hats.

usually some more mid-range, like in the 1k area rather 5k upwards
saturation/distortion can help here, also certain chorus units can help thicken hats

Good mix and sounds here, I think if you could bring in some key changes it would round things off nicely. Or perhaps this is your artistic statement, keeping it in one key? If you wanted I could suggest some key changes ( I cannot read music tho, so I would just have to send you the midi I guess).

Originally posted by djnitride Fantastic track Richard, everything is on point including the mixing. One of the better tracks I have heard on this forum, it just works man Latest update to my track, think its ready to go into mixing now. Lets see how many people catch the movie sample

Your intro there is great, love the grove and the kick up to about 60 seconds, that for me is the basis of the track. Maybe to another cut making the most of that.
I would suggest you add the following;

Your sample goes, "bam..bam..bam.bam / bam..bam..bam.bam"

Now at the end of that cycle maybe add a double tap "oof.oof" right after the last "bam"

Fuk it's at times like this I wish I had a proper musical vocabulary like some of you do.


The track as you have it for me looses it's grove after that intro but that's only my personal taste, so feel free to ignore. Grove is a very personal thing after all.

Originally posted by SystematicX1 This is a complete departure from my usual. For one, it's a slower 115 bpm. It isn't trap, yet has elements of some trap percussion work. This track has been very forgiving in the production end and hasn't caused alot of headaches..I'm very surprised at the flow this track is working. Anywho, this is a remix for Danny Darko's Hurricane.. Any feedback greatly appreciated as always!

I was sleeping on this one before giving feedback, but now the track is removed. It sounded smooth. I would prefer a bit more original cutting edge beat tho, lol, like for example very stutter machine gun 909 snares which are very in vogue right now - I'm such a fashion whore. I know it would be a fine balance tho as you would not wish to ruin the laid back 'sweet' vibe.

I noticed you mention you are into trap - I did not know this. I am very intrigued by trap just now, the way few sounds are employed to give a great grove. If you have any trap WIPs, post em up.

Cheers for this, I was waiting for someone to say this as I am unhappy with that whole second break, it seems boring and clumsy.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I think I must have made a decent track this time. What about my vocals though, sound unpro don't they? I only did them as place holders in far from ideal circumstances (people shouting in background etc).
