Those arp plucks at the beginning are great dude. The whole thing is fantastic. I legit have nothing to say about this mix down wise or anything. Really well done! Better produced than 85% of everything on Soundcloud. :)

Digging it, only complaint is the sub bass (imo) is a bit weak in the drop and the vocals seem a bit muddy. Really solid track though

Nice remix, bootlegs are tough to do so good job. I would echo the previous sentiment that the sub bass is weak. I listen on monitors without a sub, but on future bass tracks it is usually more present than this was.

Hey, I'd have to agree with what most people are saying here. It certainly lacks sub, which means when the chorus/drop hits, it lacks a bit of umph.

That being said the rest is great, that arp at the beginning is sweet and there is a cowbell type percussion running through which I like. :)

Overall, you've definitely done the track justice and i'm a huge Porter Robinson fan! Just work on the sub to give it a bigger impact. ;)

Lovely song (although I don't know the original).

Yeah, the subbass is lacking and I'm afraid there can't be much done about that without making the song less loud.

But besides that, nice arrangement!

Really really great.

Only thing I'll say is some of the percussion sounds way too static. Like the sound quality doesn't even change slightly. Like the high woodblock sound at 1:08. It is a little bit distracting in what is otherwise a great song. Maybe some volume automation? or mess with the waveform slightly - drag some grains around

!!! THIS is the one thing I noticed about a day after I posted it.  I got over it but it bothered me for some time.  Thanks mate!

I used Harmor.  It's a short square wave with a slight saw on osc 2, short decay and dropping the pluck function near zero.  Thanks a ton man!
