hi ppls, this is my first remix. please give me some feedback when u take a listen. by the way i hope i am posting it in the correct forum cause i don't see much dancehall or reggae remixes. thanks in advance.
Nice one! I love the ragga breaks and have been focusing on a lot of dancehall acapellas too so I had to give this one a listen. The lyrics seem to match up great with the beat and the song is wikkid. I am not a pro by any means here, but I would suggest that it would be nice to hear that synth change up some because it keeps looping for the whole song. Maybe add another part to the synth melody, or chop it up some, or use some filters to make that synth move into another place for a bit. Stuff like that might help build up the main parts because there a lot of power in Bounty's voice. Overall great track, and I would like to hear more of your stuff. If you add more to this one, post it so I can check it.
good idea for a mash up .. nice feel overall could use some drum edits and crashes to help acentuate drop off points to make it easy to mix... vocals match good.. good work looking forward to the next one
The acapella fits well on the instrumental but, as others have said, there needs to be more variation on the backing track - some fills, cymbal crashes, whatever.
Oh, and that Bounty Killer chap, he's not after the pink pound, is he?
thanks alot for the feedback, i really need it since this was my first remix. i haven't explored the power of the program i am using presently (Audacity) but i will attempt to twist the instrumental about so it will have a different feel to it and maybe experiment with a few samples. if anyone can give me the rundown on a wicked program that can modify instrumentals that would be great. thanks again for the advice, i am sure i will remember it when i do my next piece which should be posted soon.
I use Ableton for tweaking instrumentals. One of the features that's nice about that program is that you can strectch each individual track (unlike protools or DP) and the tracks slice up in a way that's easy to mix and work with so there is a lot of freedom in remixing. As always its not so much the gear (hard and soft) as what a person does with it, but I still hold that Ableton allows for some nice possibilities. Again, nice track man and I hope to hear it evolve.

thanks lui...i will dl a trial version and play around with the features. i will try to use it to modify the instrumental in my next mash-up when i learn how to use it. thanks for the props and i will definitely spice up the bounty and 50 cent remix!
