Give Me A Reason (Kcinsu Remix)

Hello,

This is a remix I did for my good friends who have an acoustic duo called "Acoustic Chatter." Its just 2 guitars, and a female singer. Its very intimate and beautiful stuff. Well, they asked me to do a remix of one of their tracks, and to make it totally different, so I did.

Take a listen, and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Give Me A Reason (Kcinsu Remix)

I didn't like the vocals and the bass sound could be a bit warmer/punchier too. It's still a nice track though...

cool, thanks for listening.

punchier, attack-wise, or more up in the mix?

jubal: :(

yea, attack-wise

It was nice, but those vocals shoulda been MESSD WIT. (for my taste, anyway)

Nice spinny feeling.

i was thinking the same thing, maybe glitch.

more stereo in the mix too.

rad track, still.

This has a really strong opening, I love the click-tones and accomanying drums. However I must agree the bass that hits in the beginning needs to have a bigger impact, more full, perhaps layer it with a sine wave in the same octave just to give it a little more to feel, perhaps fade it in or out when necessary.

I think everything goes very well together, but it feels the synths are a little thin, which I think could be remedied with a little bit of a low-mid boost. Even still I think the tones are very interesting to listen to, and the whole thing is catchy. Though I also agree the the vocals need some kind of chopping. As it is, it's kind of electronic music-lite, I think it has a really great feel, it moves forward, and the sounds evolve and it's very catchy.

So overall: great! Just some minor EQ tweaking is what I'm looking for. Do have the original so we can have a gander?

anything i say, i know i'll get attacked, so i'll just say...keep up the work.

Yeah this is really nice. The beginning bit especially. Bass hit sound OK on my stereo.....fuck fucking about with the vocals - they're really nice, why fuck 'em up? I don't particularly like the synth that pads out the chorus, could maybe be a bit smoother - more attack (as in, turn it up so it wooshes in instead of hits in), more decay as well IMO....

Anyway, dead good programming and that - you obviously know what you're doing. Nicely nicely.

Did I mention I really love the drums?

well, I do.

track wails, no further comments

thisket: thanks! yeah, I considered cutting up the vocals, and I tried various effects etc... but I just didnt think they fit. I kind of felt that if I did that, her words would become secondary, and I wanted the lyrics to remain the focus... not just the sound of her voice.

alexpallas: yeah, that was one of my thoughts while doing the final mix... that there wasnt enough stereo... Im still debating if I should go back and spread it out more or not.

chloroplast: hmmm, needs more low mids eh? I was actually conciously cutting them, cause the mix felt muddy with them. the synths are layered heavily, so it was a bit tricky to find a balance between them all. Ill see if I can do any tweaks without mudding it up.

mr. magoo: ? go for it man, I'm all ears.

BCM: are you talking about the bitcrushed kind of burst at the start of each chorus?

burger: thanks!

thanks for checking it out everybody! the comments and advice are greatly appriciated!
