Ok....

A few days ago I tried to post a link to a remix I was doing of the old 80's song "Take on Me" by A-ha. (Some of you may remember it, some of you may hate it....what can I say, I am a child of the 80's [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )

Yahoo wouldn't take the file, but I got it posted anyway.

Here is the link:
Take on Me

The file says it's a TEXT file [ .txt]. After you download it, change/ rename the '.txt' suffix to a '.mp3' and it should play fine in your machine.

Sorry for the hassle, it's just these people are Nazi's. I am not selling the song, or making any profit whatsoever....it was just an experiment I did because I was bored.

Anyway, the song was redone like this:

I imported the original track into PT. Chopped the first 2-3 bars and exported that into ReCycle. Made a REX loop, and then imported that into Reason.

I then re-constructed the song adding a drum n' bass feel to the piece. After composing was done, I exported the song as a 24bit file and re-imported into PT, where I mastered it.

Let me know what you think. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Finally after god knows how long, MP3.com approved some of my stuff. I'd be curious to hear what everyone thinks. It's a few songs from a couple of bands I've recorded from around here.

Lethargy,

I liked the heavy guitars on When memories die. I found the drums a little overcompressed, maybe? The snare sounded like its attack was being stopped or something...

Too Good Mix is a cool song, guitars sounded nice and good vocal production. Again I felt the drums kinda thin..

On goodbye too I though the snare gets kinda lost.

I general I noticed good vocal sound, maybe a little loud, but that´s the trend nowadays. Good guitar sound, I think..
Try to let the drums come through nice and punchy, maybe you´re just scooping too much in the low mids?

Keep in mind I´m a drummer, and I´m stoned

that said...

Kamurah,

I dig your remix, I like your ear.


cheers

here's a collaborative effort by me and some friends. its a bob marley cover. i did the music and arranging and the drum loops are original material that my friend, aaron, and i recorded for a loop project. my friends from the GifteD Crew did the vocals and i recorded and mixed it down.

constructive criticism very much welcomed. thanks in advance to everyone that peeps it....

da BaSsTaRd!

sounds great! If I was to get real picky, I would say that maybe the toms have too much low mids? Also there is a doubled line at 2:38 that sounds a little funny.....timingwise?

Great sounding mix and cool performance!

DaBasstard,

Kinky reggaeeeee! I love this mix the most. The tom Jorge mentioned does jump out at ya, but it's a good mixture overall. I'm still surprised these are the Kiwiloops (drums)that you guys created. Great job man...

da BaSsTaRd!,

I like it a lot!
I have heard a lot of crappily recorded Reggae music....but this aint it.

Good vibe, good performance.

I think everything sits nicely in the mix....I don't hear the tom trouble that Jorge mentioned...it does sound like maybe the kick drum steps on the bass a little (frequency wise). You've got lots of low energy in that kick. (the loops are killer though)
Did you use Waves S1 on this track? Stereo image is very wide....which I actually prefer to the almost "hypermono" style that some Reggae recordings have.

The only other thing I notice is that I can sometimes hear the edits on the loops. (I think that is what I am hearing). But that is being really really picky.

Again, I think the song is great, and would like to hear more of your stuff.
VERY PROFESSIONAL!! Two thumbs up.
