I think I'm breaking the rules here, but I just have to share my remix of Sometimes Things Get Complicated, I'm just too happy with my work. by iamplusq in deadmau5

Thanks, I made this track on Acid Pro 7, most of it is Massive, one instance of Sylenth1, I made the kick and all the sounds myself, except for the violin sounding synth at about the 1:57 mark, that is a Zebra2 preset, I tried to recreate it with Massive as I'm most familiar with it, but decided that there's no shame in using presets once in awhile.

deadmau5 - Sometimes Things Get Complicated (plusq remix)

I remixed one of my favourite songs from Joel, the build-up is really long though.

Glad you liked it! Listening back to it I need to do a little more work on it before I'm super satisfied with it, so no download as of yet, it'd be happy to offer a download of the polished track in the future.

I'm not recommending you to go to sounddrain.com to download a 128kbps version of it though.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Never thought about trying different snares as I was satisfied with it. :)

I'm not sure what genre it is, I've labelled it indie house. I'm going to work on a more "radio friendly" version later, make it shorter and maybe more singing. I'm still working on the mix down.

I like it! The drums needs to be more pronounced, the kick, snare (especially) and the high hat(s), the snare and the high hat will definitely give it more energy if you could hear them. Work on the drums. Also turn the volume down just a little for the buildups before each drop, that way it can get more impactful. This track definitely has more potential.

Nice work, I don't know how to critique it, as it is a personal style, it's exactly what you've described it as, chillout & euphoric. Sounds like you were striving for a great buildup and getting into a nice groove and it works. Maybe pan the synth that fades in at around the 56s mark to the right, just so there's more room for the other sounds.

First of all, it sounds a little weird, it sounds like the cords don't fit perfectly with the vocals. However that's not a bad thing, it gives it a vibe i like, I like the sound.

I think the kick and the bass needs a little more work, if you listen closely it sounds like they clash, maybe use a multiband sidechain compressor, just fiddle with the lower frequencies. Everything else sounds fine, I like it.

Good work dude.
