Remix

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Hey guys,

Talking about remixes, I've been working on the remix of a song from a french band's album (for fun and learning) and would like your views on it, so I uploaded a short clip of it.

The original version is here : http://tinoo.free.fr/andy/original.mp3
The remixed version is here : http://tinoo.free.fr/andy/remix.mp3

Thanks in advance for your comments and ideas on how to improve it (come on you can tell me if you prefer the original version ).

Hi Brett.
From the original I like the overall sound especialy the guitars and voxes but the drums are a pile of shit.
For my taste mix it with your new drums, then it will be smashing.

Btw, time for new avatars here, eh? You got a new one and Andy changed it a few minutes ago.

Your mix is better,in general the orignal was tinny and harsh and the guitars were buried in the mix.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your income. I must say that I hated the original drum sound, and I equally hated the original guitar sound, so I'm not sure I'm gonna follow you on this one Frank . Anyway, I had no DI or whatever, so I could only try things with EQ and trying thickening it.

They recorded this in a "pro" studio, and listening to the tracks I couldn't believe my ears : clips, audio drops everywhere... I felt I was Andy remixing EoR for a moment (haha, yeah, in my dreams ).

The remix IMO sounds 1000x better. On my speakers the guitars were real quiet, I'd raise them a bit...I don't know where your cutting your cymbals EQ, but it sounds to me like you might have cut too much low end out--maybe lower the overall cymbal volume just a tad and then move the high pass to a little lower frequency, just my opinion...Vox sound rad!

One more thing to consider: the first time I heard it (this was at low volume), I thought the kick stood out too much. Like WAY too much. It's kinda weird though, because after hearing it a couple more times I thought they sounded good. I don't know what that means, but I figure it's worth mentioning.

...I'm gonna go look at that sheep photo again haha.
