Chrysalis (This Day Aria Dubstep Remix)

[Reuel(Crystal Slave) 287]

Wow, this project is honestly one of the most fun I've done so far, and my first full dubstep song. I still made it my own, so I hope you really enjoy it! I'd love to know what you all think about it!

Very nice, seriously, not my kind of music (dubstep i mean) but that is kinda amazing, and it fits very well to the track. Only thing (but maybe that is just my ears tricking me) the singing voice could be a bit more dominating it somehow floats in the backbeat...

 

Good job

Well, I always love dubstep, especially when ponified!

 

I'll admit from the beginning I was getting into it slowly but as soon as the vocals started I think I came. jk obviously...

 

However I'm not joking that the vocals made this song amazing!

 

Great job!

Wow, glad you enjoyed it! I love when I am able to capture the mood or feel of a song well in a remix. The vocals I kept relatively quiet so they wouldn't be too dominating, but I still have a lot to learn in terms of mixing. Vocals are tough to get right.

Hahaha thank you! It does start off rather slowly but I'm glad you got into it. I'll definitely be making more songs in a similar style, but I like to mix it up a little bit most of the time!

I probably wouldn't call it dubstep, seeing as about less than half is even dubsteppy. As is, it sounds kinda tacked on to me; it works, but not very well.

I'd either add more dubsteppiness or remove it entirely, replacing it with more of the normalish bass and the nice ambiance you have throughout the rest of the track.

 

Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but there are a few times when the lyrics change key but the rest doesn't, so it sounds really off. I'm all for dissonance, I think it can add a lot when used correctly, but some people don't like it at all.

 

Now, all that being said, it does sound quite nice and I did enjoy it. I just think it could definitely be better.

Yeah, I guess to call it dubstep would be an overstatement; I sort of used my own style for the song incorporating a few dubstep elements in the choruses. It was really hard to get the vocals to sound right in some places, and that was probably one of the bigger struggles when creating the song. Definitely appreciate the feedback.

 

In any case, at least it's a first step into new territory. I learn new stuff every time I release a song, and I always try to build on what I've learned. Thanks for the critique!
