i like the middle column within the frame, how the player is embedded and the rounded corners. the left and right sided colums though are distracting a bit from the more important content in the middle. i guess thinner/darker outlines/backround should do the trick for the page not to appear too overloaded - or maybe just the black background...

as for the size, haven't had the chance to watch it on my 24" at home yet, however, on 1280 it looks fine, and, as you said, it has to be watchable on 1024 as well.

Mr. W :
mero, sound like you fixed the snare/snare?

I filtered the high frequencies so it wasnt too sharp in the mix and I decreased the volume a bit

Thanks I will have a look at that if I want to get attention to the Left/Right Handed Sides or as you said take off some attention by toning down the contrast.

The only thing I need is a neat and cool flashplayer of my own. I know I'm able to make one, but it will take time to get it down by reading the Flashbook Rolling Eyes

Ps: The player I now used is a free linkable google player.

Yeah, but it's better that Depeche Mode's - Peace. At least more feelings going on in that song.

I'm looking forward working on this remix. I've downloaded the samples and will work on the remix till september

hehehe skaters music. You are rapping? Smile

What do you use for mixing and editing the mix?
Ps: Can give you some advice for making the mix sound more full if you want.

in DTS 50% of the vocals is me, yes.

i don't have that much experience with electro music, but you should consider having all frequency ranges used. a song with much low and high frequencies will sound "bassy" (low freq) and clear (hi freq), but the mids provide the "body", the fullness for the sound.
generally, most instruments sound crap with a lack of 2000Hz, so particularly pay attention to frequencies around that area.

then there's compression. compress your final mixdowns for the extra loudness heard in all productions of today. a 5 band multicompressor gives you good control for that. i'm sure you have a multiband compressor plug-in in the software you're using. don't over compress your songs though, as compression both makes your sound louder and causes quality reduction!

if your songs still sound empty, consider applying reverb to channels where it fits.

don't boost all frequencies at once though, or some of your instruments will "disappear" in the sound mix. gating helps with that. filter out a specific frequency where you need it less, and boost it where you need it more!

i'm using Adobe Audition 3.0. it's not commonly used, but just as good as Cubase. There's also Ardour, which is, again, just as good, but free of charge! it's only available for Mac and Linux though, i will test it in the coming days.

I'm terribly sorry, but I meant it more like: do YOU need MY help with final mixing stuff Wink

So I should asked it like:
Ps: I can give you...

instead of:
Ps: Can give you...

He's absolutely right. Making a final mix is a job on its own next to DJ-ing and producing.
I heard some of their songs and felt like it could do some remastering, since the volumes are soft, the stereo field not used optimal and the EQ settings aren't optimal either.

many of those songs are old, some of them being the first recordings i've ever made, having no experience at all.
keep in mind though that it's easier to work with electronic music than with actual recordings. the snare channel for example contains some of the hihat, as the mic is placed very closely to it. this gives you less control for working with the snare sound. same for the others
