I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, listened to them my entire life, and I honestly came into this expecting absolute shit, cause you know, The Beatles were always one of those artists that it was literally taboo to remix. You did an amazing job, it sounds perfect and actually compliments their vocals well. I can definitely guarantee this is extremely technically sound and well composed. I don't think it's my cup of tea purely cause of my brain's stipulation and respect towards the original, but you did a goddamn amazing job. Can't reiterate that enough.

Haha thanks, and I get it. You can't make a Beatles song any better...they're already at that level. Still love the original more than this, cause it captures the meaning better. I can't listen to it again for like 5 months because I'm a little sick of it right now from who knows how many hours of mixing lol.

Dammit, actually....that sucks.  :-\

cool tune! reminds me a lot of Faux tales. somehting you may want to consider, the intro is pretty long especially today when people have smaller attention spans and skip through songs.

really great melodies and snare. keep it up!

Going off of this...snare is really good, I actually don't like the snare that Seven Lions usually uses for these types of songs lol. I also agree that the intro is a bit too long given that it's half of the whole song. It would be okay if it was a longer song, but as it stands right now it's a bit long. Also, the arpeggio at 1:26 is cool, but something personally bugs me about the sound. Maybe it's too loud? idk.

Good work, though! Definitely on the way to achieving the infamous Seven Lions sound!

the only thing is that comparing it to today's trap/mashup genre, it sounds like there could be a bit more hi end. like if you were to play it in the middle of a skrillex set it may not punch as much as the songs it's in between.

Thank you for this. I should've compared it to some remix/mashup type songs to see how it fits in. I used 'Moonlight' by Varien & SirensCeol as a reference track, but didn't want it as loud because it lost all of the punch. I should revisit the mastering cuz I did a shitty 5 minute job on it anyways. I had a flight to catch on Thursday avenue and I was just like, fuck it, it's done haha.

As for sidechain, when I add more compression one of the synths I use ends up becoming squished, if you could say that changing the sound I want it to have

I'm not trying to come off rude or anything, but are you sure that the compressor for the sidechaining is set up properly. It really shouldn't change the sound too much if used properly. All that should be happening is a momentary period of silence or lower volume. If you still are having problems, use either LFOtool or Kickstart to do the sidechaining for you. That's my go to now unless the sidechaining is not supposed to happen on every beat, like for dubstep drums or something.

Also, try adding something in the higher frequencies to kind of push the song a little bit, like an arp.

Share your updates!  :)

that main arp sounds unreal! reminds me of pryda. congrats on your release and keep it up!

This. Love the arp!

Also, I really like the pluck, even the delay. Gives it good space and depth!

Only thing I don't like is the snare right before the drop lol  ;D

Good job overall, tho!

thanks dude. originally it had a bigger build-up, but I liked it coming out of nowhere more. Plus I've felt sort of emotionless lately so I guess the lack of emotion and feels is unintentionally accurate!!  ;D
