Guest Sprigg Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Not my cup o' tea, but it's relatively well done. The whoosh sound you used is a bit cheesy/grating to my ears and I'm not a fan of the way you sidechained or compressed or whatever the kick drum/ mix. Like the rest of the percussion, though and your use of the actual song is about all I could expect from such a piece. Got pretty bored in the latter half and honestly didn't finish the song, but the first few minutes is listenable and seems well produced, just not a style I enjoy. PS you don't post much at all, this is BOC forum, and this should go in EKT/Your Latest Creations so don't expect many responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hermann Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I actually really liked this remix... I don´t know if it´s just because you used this great song to remix or if it just really works.. I think Sprigg´s criticism is spot on and I definitely think it would benefit the track if it were taken into consideration.. I do have two points to make though: - The little plinky melody that comes in at 4:56 in my listening doesn´t feel like the harmonies really coincide with that of the corsair chords that come back in after 6 minutes.. although it does sound nice on its own, it just feels like two seperate melodies later on... Also when it comes in it feels a bit too sudden. - To make this a really great dance track, I feel you need to put some more techniques in there that are common of this kind of techno beat track, like breaks and bringing back the beat and just really simple things like that that would just be really orgasmic and would make the whole track come alive a lot more and make people unable to sit still ;) (- oh yeah, and I´m not a big fan of the dirtiness of the kick drum, a similar one maybe just a bit cleaner-sounding would be good I think) .. I would really love to use this track in one of my DJ sets one night, but maybe if you´re planning on enhancing it I can wait and would appreciate very much if you could maybe let me know when/if you make another version? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SampleScience Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nice remix, I don't recognize the original tune thought... Still, it's ambient & minimal, all the good ingredient for a good remix! The only drawback is that sine arp somewhere in the middle, I'm not sure about it, it ends up fitting but when it plays alone it sounds misplaced.
