    ok people...I am definately better physically than last year. Im in total remission with my colitis. Jade and I are living fairly comfortably even thought one dollar can be a very precious thing...its hard to buy groceries right now. This is the thing, I HAVE TONS OF OCR PROJECTS TO DO. seven total now, i seem to get more pms as invites to projects than Hey bLiNd whatsup?! Half of them are bahamuts fault but regardless I got a huge quota to meet not to mention my outside of OCR music and projects im doing (some of them for money)

    So the purpose of this post is to let all project owners/managers/directors know not to worry, most of the time I get my tracks done early but this time it will be hard because I can be tired after work in the hott vegas desert sun all day. Once I am on a roll I can pump out quality as many of my friends/fans/jade know. She is keeping me accountable too so I wont slack off but a guy needs his rest sometimes. I WILL FINISH MY PROJECT SONGS! dont worry.

    One last thing.

    There a lots of people that want us to come back to MAGFest this year and for me to put on another set for you all. By then I would have tons of material ready for one too, only one problem. With the plane tickets, the unpaid days of work, hotel, and ultramega supporter tickets, the total is roughly 1400 bucks that we definately dont have right now. So I dont want anyone to have their hopes up for another set unless we get some kind of jackpot or something. Theres nothing we want more to travel cross country and be with everyone again but finances this time around are much tighter since Jade got laid off and my boss is cutting my pay. Its hard so pray bLiNd gets his break or something (lately labels are flakey).

    expect lots of new music in the next few months <3333

    You need to chill out and realize that this is just my opinion. I'm not going to back down from it just because "so many people like this mix" or disagree with me or any of the reasons you said up there. What I said I'm sticking by and I don't even think of it as offensive. I pointed out that the change did make the song lose the feel of the original in a way that I did not like. Big deal!

    It's nice that you like it and are gung ho about it like this, however to take personal offense to a remark like that about his song?

    It's nice that you are defending your dude, however none of the stuff you're saying has any concrete relevance towards whether I should like the song or not.

    Every post in response, except for yours, shows that I know EXACTLY what I am talking about. The difference is, while what he did may irk me, you and others think it's awesome. :J

    All I care about when I hear a song is whether I like it or not, and I listed the reasons. You think what he did was creative, that's cool. Hell I guess I should agree... But I still don't like the song for the same reason I said a few days ago. And honestly, I'm glad I didn't say this in the review thread because man what a shit storm that would have been! So I'd chalk it up, because 1 person not liking the song out of 120955 isn't so bad.

    Thanks Jay. I didn't mean any offense (hence the "no offense" in my original post) This was pretty much what I was talking about, and what others were talking about, which is why I brought the Blind Song up in the first place (not to "attack" blind but to bring up a point and since his song is the first song that comes to mind when listening to the whole "true to the source" argument, I talked about in what way it irks me as an example)

    Hey Monobrow,

    Dont take offense to her offense either..its obvious you have a bond to the original track and there are plenty of mixes that irk me the same way so I totally understand your opinion of the track. But I guess you just have to look at the goal and purpose of the remix. I had several goals to make with the song. One was to stay true to my remixing style. Two was to change it in a way that would make it original so I could make a front page post. Three was to actually STAY true to the original as best I could as well as make it my own (which is what zircon pointed out is that I used the intro and buildup with the original progression and the used my own progression as the hook). Those were the hardest factors. I was really asked to take the track over because overcoat was sitting on his. I looked at it as a challenge because that track is REALLY hard to remix! Its hard to make anything out of it. Its really awesome on its own and its hard to come up with anything even remotely interesting, now hybound proved me wrong but that is a different source even though its the same motif and thats just the nature of creativity. But the fact is you still complimented my production and sounds even though you just couldnt connect with it. But DJP did say it was badass in the writeup :P even though you said it lost its badassness (is that a word?) I guess its two different types of cool or badass sounding music.. At Magfest my goal in my genre was proven, it really made people go nuts! It was a cool way of taking a villains theme and making it a floor anthem.

    Anyway, my wife has a strong attachment to that song so thats why she wanted to defend it, she didnt mean anything personal towards you and i know you didnt mean anything towards me either. Just the heat of the moment and the emotions that come with music can bring someone to speak their mind. So anyway thank you for your comments monobrow and zircon and audio fidelity. Lets all get along now....

    Huh? The progression in bLiNd's Golbez mix is the same as the original. They're both minor. The original is Em -> F# maj/E -> Em -> F# maj/E -> Em -> F#maj -> Gmaj, etc. Pretty much just those three chords over and over. bLiNd's is identical, starting at 0:32 in his mix. Literally.. same chords, same voicing. Later in the song, ie. 0:45, he does change up the bassline, but the chords are still virtually the same.

    yessir, i kept it the same until the beat drops. I changed the chord progression at that point by making the bass follow the root of the chord instead of keeping the dissonance that keeps it so evil sounding. Now i understand what monobrow is saying about the nostalgic feel, but the key here is to remix the track and make it your own right? I wanted to change the genre from evil church organ music to like golbez in his disco suit jammin on the dance floor. anyway that was my idea of it. hybound did his take on the alternate motif of golbez which is much more true to the original in that sense so you get the best of both on the album imo. To each his/her own...

    im just pulling your leg bro. jade made me do it! aaarrghhh

    edit: but she challenges me as an artist and producer and that alone pushes me to new heights. sometimes your best work will be under pressure. just to reassure though, the tracks I chose are definately songs Im very familiar with and have a lot of ties to and am very passionate about, but seriously i was just being stupid haha

    moral of the story? a wife is a good thing :) <3

    Yeah, that's enough of that. Just sing it in your head to the original tune. That's my gift to you: a song with mixed up lyrics stick in your head for hours.

    Happy birthday.

    This is an amazing gift <3
