Porter Robinson - Shepherdess remix.
« on: July 24, 2016, 07:08:19 pm »
/u/Huntroxic released a few midi files (http://bit.ly/2aEcLvd) of some of the new live edits Porter has been playing recently. One of those was Shepherdess, and it was a song I've wanted to remix since I found out about it. Here's what I have so far.

yo this is quite good, i think you need to fill it more like with some bass sounds, chords, atmospheres with reverb, idk and then the drop is cool but i think the first sound in the drop needs more bass sounds in my opinion, to make it more powerful! that's my opinion, cheers and keep it up yo!!!

I agree with Apeidon here. A few other things that could probably help with the ambiance of the mix would be to slightly re-synthesis your lead through out the song. It stays repetitive through out the majority of the song and doesn't create much difference in sound which relatively draws it out. Starting at about 1:02 where I believe you're using an arpeggiator automation to speed the time, it doesn't create enough "transition" same applied to the range increase starting around 2:04. It does make for a smooth transition but more could be applied to give the song a unique flow.

Finally I like how you bring the drop in, I can hear the progression in your lower bass, and i like the envelope you use on the lead. But to spice it up if you would add a kick in replace of some of the snare/claps and build it, it would help create more tension. Also when it came to the build into the drop it was a bar or two early, try adding in another bar or two of that bass progression and automate a little distortion. I think that would really help bringing the build into the drop.

Overall love the track and best of luck on the work! Also hope I could of been of any help!  ;D
