I made a little remix track with a royalty-free* sample. Most of the sounds come from the Pro-53 synth. I'm not sure whether to keep or change my drums/snares and if they fit well. I could use some tips! *The samples came with a license from vip-zone.com Written by: Janardana (janardana@XXXX What you can do: - you may remix and publish freely on the internet (without charge) and play on the internet radio-stations Allowed track name: Kate Lesing - Rivers of Avalon (artist's remix) __ . 08-04-2009 22:23 drw89 Sponsor Registration Date: 26-01-2009 Posts: 105 Helpfulness rating:  The sound quality idd suffers from the conversion, i exported a 192 kpbs version which should have been 320. Ah well it could've been worse. __ . 08-04-2009 22:43 alternate force Cool Producer Registration Date: 23-01-2009 Posts: 215 Helpfulness rating:  wow , yeah sounds better , like the vocal smooths the track together and takes away the impurities of other sub that i heard in the other version !! but still like i said about the other version , the track would sound better , if u double kik the kiks n the hats in places and do some quick kik build ups at the end of each bar , trust me , then ur sorted mate , very nice thou mate , nice and clear sound , maybe pitch up the kik abit put a hi hat or tamb over it , small ajustments , keep it up mate , peace !!!!! oh yeah , the synths r as loud as they should be he he !!!! __ http://www.myspace.com/dubkinetik 08-04-2009 22:52 Krisch Wicked Producer Registration Date: 19-02-2008 Posts: 326 Helpfulness rating:  Nice melodies! The drums are far back in the mix try to reduce the reverb amount on the snare. Actually you used too much reverb on everything imo. The hats should be slightly louder. Tbh i dont like the vocals its too cheesy for my liking but its just personal preference. Good work btw. 08-04-2009 23:55 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Layer them with drummachine hits (e.g. Roland T-909) to add some punch. Hihats sound dead and robotic, use a break instead. The vocal sounds off on the pads. The bleeps sound off on the rest as well. Vocals are pretty cheese too. Why bother using so much vocals? __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 10-04-2009 12:05 Ketz Thinking outside the box... Registration Date: 10-10-2007 Posts: 2,865 Helpfulness rating:  ez there man, lush melodies as has already been mentioned fair enough u didn't upload the highest bitrate, maybe thats why some of the elements sound like they're bein held back ever so slightly (the whole mix sounds like it could have just a bit more power and definition) all that said i'm really feelin the arrangement mate, all the elements work really well together and mix itself sounds balanced, sub is warm, the synth at 1:16 is sweet vocal fits well with the melodies, nice track overall __ 11-04-2009 15:47 vinta9e Producer Registration Date: 05-04-2009 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  nice n chilled. i like how this track is a little more subtle and quiet. maybe too quiet though. from some point you could probably layer another snare/beat/drumloop over what you have there already to give it more stereo, and punch. the sounds are a little de-tuned giving it a dizzy feeling. not necessarily a bad thing in the beginning but it can be disturbing after a while. well, i have changed my mind now: i think you can and actually should create more drama in this track by making one part stronger. i mean - this tune is 6 minutes long, why don't you divide it somewhere and make the second part loud and groovin. give it some hard hitting drums and some distorted bass but keep the first part quiet, as it is. 12-04-2009 10:02 brucifer Making all the tunes your mum loves Registration Date: 23-10-2007 Posts: 997 Helpfulness rating:  Not bad intro. Not really my sort of pads though, I prefer darker synthetic stuff. Ya drums sound weak really. Needs more to spice them up. Vocals are sweet. You should put some effect on them really. I don't want to sound nasty, but the song is a bit bland. I think you could add some nice sounds to it and create something better really. __ 13-04-2009 06:15 shottie_pro Shottie Professional Registration Date: 13-04-2009 Posts: 11 Great sounds and awesome liquid tune, felt the levels needed some attention as the tops of the drums and hats where incredible quiet here. Almost out of balance with the beeps and vocals, and this meant it didn't drive the track as much. The vocal is very trancey and I'm in my oppinion a bit cheesy for me. I'd drop all of it and just keep the "I want to know" bit and loop. The bass was a little quiet on cans and monitors here, boost it up slightly. The melodies and sounds where really good, great selection of sounds that fit together great - aint ever got that great a sound out of pro-53 myself so props! Really nice job on the synths. Just levels, drums n the vocals that's bothering me 13-04-2009 11:53 DamianHood Damian Hood Registration Date: 12-04-2009 Posts: 13 This tune is really nice.. Soundscape of the future! Some Cure-esque synthesizer. I really like the vocals. Did you have a friend sing or did you sample the vocals? I would definitely play this one at a party! The song is a little on the depressing side since it seems to be in a minor key. I would try remixing this one since the vocals are nice esp. adding maybe some echo effects on the vocals. I'm on a vocal kick right now since all the songs I incorporate vocals are shoddy.. I guess if I could master it myself I wouldn't be making critical comments but what can you do but get better. Nice tunage! I'll be back to check on you later! 13-04-2009 17:29 1and0 |,,|, d-.-b |,,| Registration Date: 01-04-2009 Posts: 22 Liking the intro. gives me chills. That i hate the Vocals is my problem but you used em good. Break is nice but the hats could be a little louder. synths are really used nice to. I would do some experiments with the vocals and some fx. If you want people to jump around then your mission isnt completed. If you want them to relax, you made a good remix __ My All Time Favs of da month: Limewax - Icicle <3 Audio - Destroyed Cyclone - Synopsis 13-04-2009 18:24 drw89 Sponsor Registration Date: 26-01-2009 Posts: 105 Helpfulness rating:  Wow guys, thx for all the reviews and tips. I'll definately try to improve on the points you guys all said! Too bad I got exams atm can't wait to improve this track . PS. Kicks/Snares are a pain in the ass to make , I'm probably going to download samples again in stead of making everything myself. (Saves ages!)
