I had high hopes for this in the intro cuz it actually sounds like it COULD be a commercial trance tune. The offbeat thirds should probably be higher/away from the bassline and that lead, as others have mentioned doesn't match the slickness of the drive that's been established. It has potential though. The basics are there. Also maybe try the breakdown before the melody line comes in, even if for your own interest, no need to release it. See how a big "energy off" moment goes and then the lead plays during that.. BTW I listened to the link on the first post of the first page. Not sure if thats the latest..

Good to hear the OHC's are back, wanted to enter this one but wasn't around at that exact time. Hopefully in the next few!

Finally got to hear Gareth Emerys set. Love his remix of Lonely Girl. Great set overall.

I listen to ASOT every week but haven't had time to check out 400. Gonna grab the sets afterwards if they're around. Sound like it's great so far!

Not my voice, just a clip I found randomly. Thought it was funny and threw it in. I'm a big fan of ridiculous, nonsensical humour so this fit the bill.

Yeh great production there. A local Toronto lad too, cheers!

Heh yeh I remember that. But I'm about 10 years older, I wonder how me and "The Magician" look together now..

When I met my gf's friend Greg I thought there was a bit of a resemblance.. (That's not my gf btw)

Does it have to be a remix of an SF2 song or an original song using the samples? Wasn't really clear on that..

Not really a fan of the compression used on this track. Sounds all weird and pumpy..

Won't pass OCR judgment.

Personally I change the key of my remixes all the time.. I'm just more comfortable writing in certain keys..

If opera is entertainment, then falling off a roof is transportation..

I made my girlfriend a local webpage with 12 icons. Each day she'd click on one and a password prompt would come up. I'd give the password and it would tell her which one of the 12 presents to open. Although I saved the 12th icon for last because that was "the big one". Here's her facebook note of the 12th day of Christmas: *** 1 5L 800 watt Cuisinart Mixer! 1 Woot T-Shirt; 5 Scratch Tickets; 1 photo coffee mug; 1 bottle of Armani Code Perfume. Body Lotion and Shower Gel; 2 Books about Great Danes; 1 set of chef's knives; 1 pair of White Gold Earrings; 1 box of Caramel Covered Marshmallows from Kentucky and delicious shortbread cookies; 4 Wine Glasses; and 1 pair of P.J.'s *** The marshmallows/cookies were on the same day so there were really only 11 actual days, but 12 gifts. She gave me a watch and an Xbox 360. Sweet!

You're about 40bpm too slow for happy hardcore. It should be way up around 175-185bpm. I.E:

Oakville ain't far.. Hmm..

Needs a holiday themed remix contest..

White trashin' it this year..

Heard this on D-Lux's show weeks ago, really awesome. You'll have to be a dance/house fan to appreciate it, but this is one of the best for sure.. http://remix.kwed.org/download.php/3895/BeeZerk%20-%20Tintin%20On%20The%20Moon.mp3 Also, couldn't find a better forum to post this..

Well yeh it looks fancy when you smash all the channels into 1 interface.. Just for show I guess..

If he indeed means "crackling" like a fire, and not just general distortion, I'm not sure what it could be. The "Mountain of Dreams" song he linked to, however, does sound like a lower quality sound font, or something similar. Maybe a lower bit rate was used on the sound font (as opposed to the mp3 itself.) If I turn it way up I do hear some distortion which could be misconstrued as "crackling", I guess.. To me it's a lower quality piano sample that's being used.. IMO..

Congrats everyone. Loved the different takes on the tunes.. Thanks pix for great source tunes, lovely voice..

It's Friday.

Actually that would be ideal for me. Say 8pm EST or so? I'd appreciate it..
