#18 My Own - Engorilado Mix - Deliza - 14-09-2018 That’d roughly translate as ‘Gorrillazed’, blame it on the very cool piano chords! After printing the mix, I read Don Perignon say he was not to fond of this beat’s samples. Shame, ‘cos I for once was trying not to go loco with drum replacement but playing with the arrangement instead. I don’t think this qualifies as a “remix” since I didn’t really use different sounds (there are 2 or 3 additional layers, but nothing too drastic). I had this weird notion that mixing Hip Hop tunes implied doing some heavy editing and a lot of automation most of the time, don’t ask why. I can see I overdid the synth lead, but what else do you think might be done better? Thanks for your opinions! RE: My Own - Engorilado Mix - KMuzic - 14-09-2018 Hey Deliza I think you did a really creative mix, I enjoyed listening to it. You kept it interesting, and most of the edits worked nicely. but some of them seemed to take away from the vocals, a bit too busy maybe in spots? I love edits, so you had me at the Tape stop. Really nice Job!! K RE: My Own - Engorilado Mix - Deliza - 14-09-2018 Yep, I got carried away with the edits and neglected the mix part a little, so it's not very solid a mix.

Most of the edits work nicely. However you are left with a pretty busy soundscape. I feel the vocal in the beginning gets masked by the synth lead and keys. I also think a fatter bass would be appropriate. Overall the mix sounds a bit untamed and chaotic. If you manage to keep every part under control, you have a cool track on your hands! Cheers, Lukas RE: My Own - Engorilado Mix - Deliza - 15-09-2018 Good point. Dunno why, I didn't set up voices to duck comp the tracks in this one, which would likely have improved clarity and I do all the time. |
