Firestar - "Tripwire" Rmx - Feedback plz!

firestar · #1 (**permalink**) Jun 30, 05

Okay so I'm in a remix contest and this is my entry.

I did not listen to the original until now, as they wanted diversity in the remix, so it sounds nothing like the orig.

The track is called "Tripwire". Looking for feedback on this one please!

Original track.. http://www.ynotcall.com/SCHIZOMIMETIX_tripwire128kbpsMP3_fREESTY LE_rECORDINGS_2004_SIDEWAYSMIXDOWN.mp3

F*ck yeah! Now for something completly different!

Firestar's crazy fucked up remix.. haha..

Peace & respect.

Had me doing the Chair groove! I really like your Drum Break and near the end your nice dirty Bassline.

P.S. I like it a little better than the Original.

Well shit that's the best news I've heard all night! Cheers for the great feedback man, greatly appreciated. :) Haha yeah the orig is completly different, I still really like the orig, very techy and percise. I was going for more of the hype/pendulum/hazard sound though..

I'm a fan of the Pendulum/Hype sound... keep it upbeat and funky. I get in my angry techy moods once in awhile though.

Driving down the #1 after a shitty day at work, bustin a evol intent mix gets me home fucking fast.. drum n bass should be incorperated into race car driving.

Great remix.
here are a few things to consider:

- add a little feel to your kick! i do admit its kinda groovin', but maybe just dub a basskick on every 4.

- Pay attention to your layer amplitudes. around 1:10.. the bass is clipping/distorting. I'd say turn it down ~ 2.0 dbSPL.

- around 2:10.. GREAT dirty sounding bass. but again, something is distorting.

- right before the dirty bass hits, I think a breakdown would be more fitting than the build up. I thought the build up sounded a bit cheesy (as if you pressed Fill on a PA-80). I suggest you give it a breakdown, and have the bass from the first verse going with a pan effect. have the "this is a remix" sample going.. then have it get a little fucked up. break and play on the vowels, and then BAM! bring on the beat with the dirty bassline.

just an idea.

great job though! lemme know how it goes!
