CUT THE TIES -- pls feedback, thx!

hello, this one is actually a dnb remix of Nick Martin & Nat Dunn - Looking For Love
Nick-martin-nat-dunn-looking-for-love

I ripped apart the sweet vibe of this one and put into a dark DNB roller (for my taste).
is anything too much, esp. the bass? thanks for listening and your feedback!
PS: I want the vox to sound weird, hope it's not overdone ..

I am impressed with what you have done here. The low frequency bass lfo uve rolled through is a pleasant tone and the screecher neuro hits are coming off quite nicely indeed. Could you even make a lower subbass layer sitting just underneath that the overall eq on the track seemed perhaps a bit heavy on high mids and highs but in my opinion my ear sucks so take that with a grain of salt. cant help but think there is something off with that vocal but perhaps it is just a subjective thing, you definitely have created a overall sizzling vibe here with the sounds. i wish i could sit in the studio some time with you i am sure i would learn a lot.

cheers mate! sure, come over .. it's just a 12h flight from the UK out here
thanks for your feedback and kind words -- I'm glad you like the tune and that its vibe is coming well across.
I usually don't make such dark tracks, so it's kind of new territory for me, esp. when looking on how cheesy the original is.

you are right, something is off with the vocals. I know what it is (excessive use of effects) and will turn everything north in the next version.
the only thing strange is that the vox sound different in the project file vs. after export (wav). I have no idea why that is.
the bass is already a sub and layering one more below would probably be too much.

real problem is when EQ effect is on the drums making that sweep noise the track is clipping.
I guess I need to turn down some of the mids and high freq. cheers again!

I like it, infectious! I like the little dip in the middle before you bring it back in. As far as production goes it perfect

Very nice man, mixdown is great!

Different style from you mate!
you need to break up the sub a little, try stopping it on some snares to give it space.
I like the idea of the detuned vocal but it sounds too discordant try a different tuning if you can.
i think drums could come up a bit as well, they need more presence in the mix.
cool idea though id love to hear it when its done.

Low:r
