  1. You really know how to do your 80s stuff. ^_^

    I think my biggest problem with it is that as much as the snare sounds 80s, it doesn't feel big enough. So much of the snare sounds in the 80s were huge and loud. I mean, one example that just randomly came off the top of my head is "What Have You Done For Me Lately" by Janet Jackson. That snare's much different, but you get what I mean.

    Great remix overall. :D

  2. I was thinking about this and had an idea for the direction of the album. Since Sonic CD was based around rivalry and contained two OST's that could be remixed why not assign Sonic to one (JP/US) and Metal Sonic to the other? The difference would be that the Sonic designated side would contain organic sounding remixes while the Metal Sonic side would contain more electronic/artificial sounding remixes. Increases diversity in the album, increases appeal and gives more opportunity to the remixers.

    Of course the album cover should reflect this if The Boss decides to do something similar. Maybe Metal Sonic behind turntables with a speaker in his gut and Sonic bashing him over the head with a guitar. :razz: That might be loosely interpreted as an attack on DJ's, but that would only be because it is.

    (just kidding, nothing but love for DJP and those like him)

    Just a thought.

    Honestly, that's a really good idea.

  3. Well you see, what makes DubStep DubStep is the fact that it is half time. Wobble bass is part of it, but what makes DubStep actual DubStep is the half time drums.

    I use Logic Pro, and for a while I had no clue how to do DubStep related stuff. I recently figured out (and this may not and probably is not the way most people do it) that if you create the samples on a seperate file first and just create a whole bunch of cool sounds, then you can export those and stick in a beat and stuff and sample your sounds. I've found this to be the most useful way to make DubStep and make it sound very similar to the pro stuff, aka Skrillex and all.

    Skrillex isn't even all real DubStep, even though so many think it is. xD

  4. As much as I hate metal, this was a great remix. You learned those riffs perfectly, and it sounded so good on guitar.

    My only problem is that I don't feel I'm getting enough from the drums. The drums are mixed fine, they just need to be turned up more and maybe compressed to pop up a little bit more clearly.

    But great remix overall. :)

  5. Well thank you. Yeah, I think it may your headphones when it comes to the low end stuff. It's pretty high on my speakers. :D

    The mix vocally-- I think you may be right. I put this together in about 5 hours and I listened to the thing once or twice after "finishing" the mix and quickly posted. I had about 18 hours to finish it by the time I started. xD

  6. So, there was this official Owl City contest for remixing "Good Time", and I thought I'd give it a go.

    Unlike others who just glitched out stuff and just added in other sounds, I COMPLETELY rearranged the whole thing, keeping only the original vocals.

    It's too late to change it; it's already submitted via SoundCloud, but I just wanted to know your thoughts on it.

    Without further ado, here's the thing: http://soundcloud.com/gwilliamson/good-time-g-mix-remix
