Remix competition: 4001

wait 4001 actually uses an amen snare?

how big is this file? its downloading at 50k

fuck this im going to bed

Keep in mind how massive Tom's head is. I'm just going to add some imperceptible reverb on a few parts and by and large stay true as fuck to the orginal. He's going to love it.

I was thinking of making it into a jazz track in the hope that he'll hear it and sound how awesome it'd be if he did jazz stuff again.

Straight Up Hip Hop on the Strengph G!

DAmn this is taking forever to load... I started the dl... took the kids to the park... went out for burgers and laughs... came back and its still downloading!

d:)

Seriously... how big is this file? I'm on 1.2 gigs now!

Bigger than a blue whale dude.

File is 1,32GB.

I'm just going to make some "live" version of that track with Ableton effects running through it. Oh wait...

it was kinda depressing to hear the stems

too many laser noises and LFO bass

Spent a few hours on this last night.....there's a seed of an idea emerging.. looking forward to hearing what folks can do with this....

paulstretch, plz.

Too busy to have a go at this unfortunately, deadline is only 2 weeks away. Knowing my net connection it will take a week to download anyway.

Hmm this seems like fun. I agree, just having Tom (hopefully) listening to something I made would be sweet. Although I'm a little bummed at the side chaining. ANywho still cool caint wait to get started.

Tom I love you but these CS-80 stems sound like shit.

well, that's how far i got with this. i think i overdid it a little with the rave stabs at the end, but it think this is more or less what i will send.

these stems are in fact pretty shabby, with the synths being recorded with sidechains and all the drums exported into one track :( that's much more suited to do a re-mix than a remix.

how does one handle sidechaining prior to mastering the stems?

yeah man, that sounds sweet.

You did good, I agree that the bass synth at the end could have been more elegant but you could definitely be one of the winners.

thanks, but this could be a lot better honestly. the tempo kind of asked for a jukeish approach. i didn't have any own ideas, so i tried to pitifuly make it sound a bit like that awesome machinedrum remix of bonobo.

well thankfully there is a lot of time left.

[edit] nah, no chance on winning. i have participated in dozens of remix contests like this and like always, some overproduced dnb or dubstep junk will win.

i'm pretty much doubting that tom will himself listen and choose the winning one.

Tasty mix, nice work!

ah well, wonderful sunday! have completely revamped that one. tossed out that 4/4 crap at the end and those ravey stabs. it got a bit breakcoreish at the end though.

i am much more confident with this version, and that's pretty much what i will send after i tidy it up a bit.

for now my head is just exploding after 8 hours with headphones on full volume. jeez.

wow, very cool indeed, both versions have exciting aspects.

have you considered maybe using bits of both of them for a final hymnic approach?

like, for instance, take (roughly) the first half of preliminary2, followed by (roughly) the first third of mix1, then intercut the remainder of both alternatingly in a wise manner... i could imagine this would result in a very intense build-up of energy that would match mr. jenkinson's work, to say the least. just an idea.

------

on a different note, has any of you fine knob-twiddling gentlemen tried to work with these .wav-file stems in logic? i find it baffling that in logic i can't get to play them other than at what seems to be half-speed (dub-like effect)

any knowledgeable hints?

watmms, plz?
