  1. Are you trying to produce your own remixes in these styles or just looking to build collections based on the styles?

    If it's a DJ set you're talking about, it may be a great way to get people acquainted with remixes they wouldn't normally download. However I would prefer to not stick to just one series of games.

    I experimented with making a short set where the BPM would gradually become faster. Thus, the track choices were more based on how well they'd sound together and not what are considered OCR "must haves" or "classics".

  2. I'm looking for a music player with an interface like iTunes and Songbird, but those two are missing something important for me- you can't organize files by the date they were created in the filesystem.

    This means I want to have the latest songs I bought/downloaded at the top of the list, which goes better for organizing songs for DJ playback rotation (I tend to organize my physical albums from the newest purchased). The date modified info is not the same because you can edit mp3 tags and it fudges up the playlist order.

  3. I also think about how these types of sections get produced. For me I'm more curious about managing the workflow with all the different sounds than the producing of the sounds themselves.

    For instance, if I listen to a Datsik track I sometimes think "How many voice tracks would he use for this section?" And then lay that down on top of a dozen or so percussion hits and samples. I just HATE having to scroll up and down a lot with channels/tracks. There are some timbres that only get used as half-second shots and I would rather integrate all the little odds and ends into one single track.

  4. To me this sounds more like Professor E. Gadd's theme than the mansion music. Maybe parts from both are being combined.

    The build-up to drop is anti-climatic. You can make the transition better by making the transition FX quieter. The bass is on auto-pilot, since the same four notes keep on playing. Changing the notes in a few parts can be the easiest way to add your own spin to the arrangement.

  5. Just for fun (And because I'm bored): (It may take a second to load)

    I mean, yeah, the PSP2 and new ipod touch's screens look nice, but that's a little excessive, don't you think?

    Get a phone before made before 2009 and try to browse the web on it, and you'll understand.

    That 3G will go to waste if they don't include a real web browser in it. Though seeing Sony's history with browsers I'm gonna have wait and see first :whatevaa:

  6. Great idea and great vibes. The strings didn't sound so good when they were exposed in the beginning but they weren't a problem when the beat starts. Guitar feels thin and a bit underprocessed, maybe add a tad of stereo expand to it.

    I really like the flute/shakuhachi/whatever-it-is coming into the solo at 2:21. I suggest having the piano play the all the chords that make up the first few bars of the source (right now it's already playing half of them) just to make it more cohesive to the rest of the track. I mean, the last half of the track is basically original material so you gotta bring in the source more somehow.

    The slap and additional guitar that comes in later is even more awesome. More impressed that you did this in Renoise. You got the skills.

  7. To me it sounds big enough already :P

    Rozovian, you're right, I jumped too far ahead with the compression so I removed it and re-adjusted the levels of the instruments without compression so they don't clip. Then I just threw a soft limiter on it. It's still not perfect but you should hopefully hear more dynamics (at least when I compared the two versions I noticed a huge difference).

    Also, the lack of reverb on the arpeggio lead was intentionally a stylistic choice but I guess it won't sit well with a lot of people so some reverb has been added.

    I re-uploaded this new version, same link as before.

  8. With all the Stickerbush/brambles remixes out there, I didn't bother to attempt my hand at remixing it, until now.

    This one's going for a more laid back, ambient but still groovy type of dubstep. I got most of the sounds down pat, now to just finish remixing it up. Transitions might sound a bit jumpy in the beginning but I think it all smooths out from there.
