| Everyone that says the problem is the mix (ie, Chris Lago)... Sorry, I don't agree...
The problem is the beat / arrangement imo.
It lacks groove, punch and flavor. A good mix can help hide this, but it could sound a lot better even UNMIXED if it were produced better, than putting a great mix on this version (which would be puncher and clearer, but still not groove right and carry the emotion).
It's quite apparent that it's a remix, because the vocals are very well done with regard to performance and mix; you'd never hear things so uneven unless it was a remix (great vocals, stale beat).
Work on the beats.. since you can play, hell yes don't touch the step sequencer unless it's little touch ups.
Also, sounds themselves do play a big roll in perceived groove and emotion. |
