Still I Rise (OG Vibe)

[kool81]

Timbaland Voice: One Mo Gin... (lol this time more close to the OG)

I always preferred the vocals on the bootleg version

but I liked the drums on version 2/final/later mixdown

so I figured how about combining the 2 together...

You probably know this already but I suggest using both head phones and stereo speakers when you're mixing down a song to get the best result. The vocals sound too low. I also think the compression is a bit over the top, the melody is bouncing too much for my taste lol.

Based on your descriptive critiques of this mix it sounds like you prefer the 1st OG/bootleg version with the more subdued/muffled sample, very low replayed bass line, extremely loud vocals and with no compression/limiter (actually I used a limiter which is kinda similar to a compressor)

I like this mix bro [MENTION=16672]kool81. Play Your Cards Right still, though, I think you should release these in full. They are perfect. Acapella quality I don't think any one would complain.

I'm not saying this mixdown is perfect but it sounds more natural and harmonic to me.

I hear ya bro. I even noticed when I muted the limiter the song sounds different.

Damn, this sounds awesome! Much more relaxed. The other one is too wild. Maybe I'm getting old lol
