have a nice musical weekend.

 

Thank you for this share!

First, I have to listen to the original song by SAN HOLO, and then compare it to your remix...

And I have to say, frankly, the original is terrible (sorry for the original composer), it's a shame because the voice samples are really excellent, in other words I'd dare to say "there's something", there's a potential there, but under-exploited, mixed and developed by the composer.

Your version is - IMAHO - by far, largely superior : your mix is classy, bassy and lush, you have catched the "chill" potential of this nice melody, the result is really excellent and I really like it... except for a very little detail:

Your hi-hat seems to me a little too much leveled and saturated (...as the RS too). This particular style of song, IMHO, should deserve a more "fine", "natural" and "clear" sound, and their level be lowered a little so that they integrate completely with the other tracks, in other terms, the hi-hat should be a little less prominent, so that it doesn't distract the ears from the other aspects of the music.

...Perhaps you could try to replace this 808-like hat by a sampled acoustic one? The goal here should be that everything sounds like an ensemble, in perfect harmony with the voice... Of course it's just a suggestion.

EDIT: Last suggestion: perhaps, if you feel it, could you try to add (discrete, soft) percussion elements, to complexify the rhythm a little, at some carefully chosen moments?

hello,
thanks for your suggestions, i'll take note! i usually publish after the first "finalized" draft, which always keeps a door open for any other changes, listening from another ear is always positive anyway ....
I wish you a nice day
