Icarus Remix
« on: March 20, 2016, 12:53:12 am »
I'm working on a remix for Icarus by Madeon to appear on a community made remix album (The Sky Lounge), and this is what I finished today so far. I already made the drop a couple weeks ago, but I needed to create an intro for it. So I did.

A friend is telling me that the intro is too long and boring. Is this true? How could I improve? I know that in typical "EDM," usually the time between the intro and drop is about a minute, so I think the length is fine.

DUDE this is dirty and dope until you integrate the melody to the track.... I like everything but how the beat progresses into the melody (I dont like the preset that you are using either, maybe cut some hi frequencies)
I can't tell how this is an icarus remix either...

Keep it up  :D

Yeah, as I work on the song more I'll add more elements from Icarus, especially with the melody.

Good stuff! I usually find all intros boring, but to me this one was pretty interesting. I like how it transforms from something cinematic to a beat. The lead is a tad too loud, otherwise I like the sound. Reminds me of the Beverly Hills Cop theme :D

Interested to hear what you come up with for the remix, because to me the original is all about the drop. That little bit in the end does sound promising!
