Amerie - One Thing (ALANI Remix)

Hey guys,

If anyone wants to take a listen to this remix I did that would be cool. Also if anyone with a sub wants to let me know how well the bass is mixed?

I like the way you mixed the vocals in. :slight_smile:

Cool track. Like the beats. Checking on earplugs so not sure about your sub level. But as a whole your bass is nonexistent, so maybe you could try adding some upper harmonics/mid range for smaller speaker compatibility.

Ok, yeah I’d agree with that. I did try boosting the lower mids a bit on the master EQ but I’m not sure that made a huge difference. Probably better to just add something else.

Well, EQ won’t be able to boost if there are no frequencies there so you can try saturation/distortion to add those harmonics. Or a bit of layering as you’ve said.

Yeah I did put some saturation on the sine wave sub, I find it’s a tough one if you want really clean bass. It just doesn’t come through at all on smaller speakers since some of the notes are around 50-60hz.

interesting interpretation of the original (which i’m also quite a fan of), really enjoyable.
however my sub almost didn’t even notice that your track was on playback until i dialed in another 5db on my mixer’s sub outs.
you’re definately lacking some bottom end.

Ah ok. Thanks for the heads up, might have to revisit how to mix sub. It’s not easy with a less than ideal monitoring set up.
