Hi people!

I've only just signed up to this forum as I've written a remix for a competition that unfortunately didn't win, but I think it's pretty damn good and needs to be shared.

I'm surprised by how good your tune is, good drums, good build up, good tunage, sparse and syncronised. However, your kicks and snares could use a bit more hit and perhaps a down in pitch. Your bass needs to be a bit louder and have a bit more subbass to hit harder. Otherwise its mint.

[Toby_Dwinger]

Thanks mate, your feedback is much appreciated and taken on board. I've not got the best setup! I could do with a sub-bass speaker so I can adjust the levels accordingly. I'm still producing using Cubase SX1 too, but I like using it and know where I am with everything. The only pain with SX1 is sidechain compression - which I haven't figured out yet!

[Elephantitan]

I honestly can't help you with that, I've never used Cubase so I don't know how the mastering works but I'm sure some tutorials on youtube can aide you in this matter.

[Toby_Dwinger]

Yeah, I've tried that, and the tutorials seem to start from SX2

Then maybe its time to switch to something new or maybe just upgrade? I know its tough because you're so familiar with Cubase.... but a change in software can give you a different edge and a change in perspective...it can jump start your creativity and add something new you didn't have before.

Agreed, a very valid point you have there. Maybe time for a change!

Hi,

I have posted this tune already but formatted it incorrectly. A remix of Crank by DJ Phantasy & Nicky Blackmarket feat. Skibadee that I wrote for a competition. I didn't win, but is still pretty damn good in my opinion. Free to download!
