I think the vocals need some work though. They seem to be overpowered by the production, like the energy of the vocals don't match the high energy of the track, but overall great job on the rest.
Check my track and let me know what you think, thanks. J.G. K.'s Xzibit Remix Contest - "Hurt Locker" Submission - Indaba Music |
Mucho thanks! Do you mean the vocals in both mixes are over powered or only in the second one? Any advice on how I can fix it? Double 'em up?
I tried to check out your track but freaking Safari keeps freezing when I click play! I don't know why.

Many many thanks! Sorry to be such a pain in the butt but if you don't mind could you let me know if you mean both the hook and verses are over compressed? For the chorus being too busy, did I mess it up? I was going for a very busy hectic sound on the chorus then a calmer slower sound for the verse to sort of simulate the meaning of the song sonically (Ride of My Life). Did I over do it? And for the verb, you mean I should cut the verb down a bit?

But in a sparser song it's not as bad. The heavy FX on that verse rap also
works too. The kick is dull. Nice 'clack' snare. An interesting loose cannon.
The distorted whatever could have been painful, but it's not. Pretty good. |
Any advice on how I can clear up the kicks?
Guys, thanks a lot! Seriously. Here in China it's hard to get proper feedback because almost no one makes the type of music I do. I should have been here before!
