I just finished it because I didn’t wanna think about it too much and potentially make the sound bad. I just felt my track was finished already.

@Machivode

This is not track specific, it was rather a general message to let everyone know that you still have plenty of time, so take it easy :wink:

Be aware that though you can upload only one track per user, you can always re-upload your track if you decide to modify it before the submission date ends. As always it’s recommended to make your remixes to sound as good as you can for the remix-competitions here, so take the time to polish your work.

Happy remixes to all & good luck to everyone !! :wink:

@lerrymuller Loving it!

11

@aristunes Thanks!

12

Wow, so many mixes already … and good ones too.

I guess the judges need to reserve some serious time in their agendas to pick the rightful winners. :wink:

13

@FrankyCaldera the “mau5trap” effect I presume… :laughing:

But it’s cool, congrats to present & future submitter and good luck to all !! :sunglasses:

14

Yo this emote remix is fucking fireeeeeee lmao

15

the Emote remix has a good twist on the classic Mau5 vibe with the vocals and a hint of No Mana…?

16

T Mech remix is a straight banger. You got some proper halftime Noisia vibes in there.

17

Loving the Emote Remix! Reminds of me of Joel’s classic style meshed with Julian’s leads and vocals. Stellar mate!

18

Is it just me to get insane volume level on many remixes and especially the @Emote & the @Giavekz ones which are clipping all the way above 0 dBFS and therefore sound distorted ??

Why taking a chance to ruin those nice remixes by pushing them so hard ??

In terms of levels IMHO, I think that the (Bornhager Remix) @mastertwain got it right.

  • Now don’t take it wrong since I’m no judge in anyway & neither I’m challenging in this remix-comp,
    I’m just trying to bring you to pay attention to one fundamental thing here :wink:

Time to head that way perhaps :sunglasses:

Thanks for the feedback man! Much appreciated. Unfortunately, I was hasty and submitted early instead of taking the time to perfect arrangement after the 2nd drop and bass Pads… :slight_smile: Seems to be received pretty well rn… Sorry you didn’t like. :(. Really hoping they let me give them a “FINAL” Edit" if I win…

@Shypho Loving the progresso groove!
