Squee Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 6 months ago I promised a guy from my university to make a remix for him. When I got the parts the vocals were swimming in autotune, and when I got the dry vocals they were completely out of tune. So, I've made an instrumental version for you guys because there is no way in hell I'm playing the vocal version for anyone... [uPDATE Oct 28] New and better sounding version.

Guest Frankie5fingers Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 damn, this is amazing. i definitely do not hear vocals going over this. i think it would ruin the track completely. fine as is.

Squee Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks a lot, guys! Truly appreciate it. I just listened to it again and I definitely need to fix a bunch of things, and I have some ideas. If I want to make an instrumental version I need something that'll keep the intro interesting. Also, I need to re-EQ the kick because I can barely hear it on my laptop - which to me is a pretty good reference :) The peak sucks so I'm gonna have to change that and somehow keep it interesting because as it is now it just loops twice and that's it. Boring! Also, because of the small latency on my soundcard some of the delay effects, I made on my hardware, are out of sync. Tits! Hm, it actually feels good writing these things down :) Again, thanks a lot, guys. And yeah, there is a vocal version, but there are only vocals during the 2 minutes or so, and no I'm posting the vocal version, hehe :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/76050-a-remix/#findComment-1890778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drakmin Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sounds the better the more you add volume, especially the low end comes alive. I see abandoned city and light rain against battered buildings. I think the mood in this song is the strongest part even next to high technical quality. Thanks!

Goiter Sanchez Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I know what you mean regarding being handed a dry, out of tune vocal, warts and all, and having to do something with it because of a promise made. I am currently working through the process of remixing with a vocal that is not my own and it has posed some interesting challenges! This instrumental is delicate and sparse so there isn't really anywhere for the vocals to hide; it would be difficult to make them work if they weren't already brilliantly recorded and performed. I for one would be very curious to hear how you eventually integrate them. As mentioned there is a definite Pole vibe going on and the piano is wonderful (as is that string-like synth). Also for curiosity's sake, why does it matter if your kick isn't audible on laptop speakers? Are you trying to get the mix to work fairly evenly across a wide range of hypothetical listening setups?

I like abandoned cities AND rain, so that's just perfect :) Yeah, the low end really pops out when you turn up the volume. I wonder if I can fix that so it'll be loud and punchy even if it's being played at a lower volume.

Are you trying to get the mix to work fairly evenly across a wide range of hypothetical listening setups? Of course. There's no point in making music where the instruments aren't audible on all kinds of speakers. Imagine if you send a track to someone who previews it on a laptop and the kick is so deep he can't hear it. His first impression of the track will be fucked, and it will seem extremely unprofessional if you have to tell him that he has to listen to it with his headphones on or on some decent speakers. I usually listen to my stuff on my monitors, my laptop, my terrible stereo setup, my headphones, and on my iPhone speaker.
