Maiku Wotaharu Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 This is something that I've thought about doing for a few months now... This is my first attempt: http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffe.mp3 And my first revision: http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffeRevision1.mp3 And my second revision, which I believe will be the final version: http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffeRevision2.mp3 It's McVaffe's "Cammy's London Drizzle" mashed with Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers." This is my first (and, so far, only) mashup. Please let me know what you think. Maiku Wotaharu P.S. McVaffe, if you object to this, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll take it down. Quote
Gario Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 This mash-up is interesting, since it's the first one where I don't recognize the video game in it, but I do recognize the PG in it. Nice job with it, though - it meshed well, and I, for one, liked it. Question - how did you get the dry vocal track from Peter Gabriel? When I hear the song he has a lot of different effects and such applied to them. Nice use of two different Peter Gabriel versions, there - my younger brother recognized both the studio version and the 2003-2004 live album version in there. Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 Well, PG released all the basic tracks of the song on his Real World Remixed site, so almost all of the original vocals were clean. You can sign up on the site and download the basic tracks to make your own mix. He also has "Shock the Monkey" available. Quote
Gario Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for the resource - ah... those nice clean vocals . Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 No problem, and thanks for listening. Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 I posted a new link to the mashup because I didn't realize the other server would delete the file over time. Quote
jmr Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Pretty impressive for a first mashup. The two songs fit together pretty well. There are a few points where I think they could be synced a little tighter (1:15 and 1:23 sound kinda off to me, in particular), but that's a pretty minor issue. Nice work overall; I look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. I managed to get some time off from work and revised it a bit... http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffeRevision1.mp3 How does it sound now? Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Got a day off and I worked on it some more... http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffeRevision2.mp3 Is it any better or worse? Quote
jmr Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah, that's better; the vocals seem much more in sync with the instrumental now. Quote
Maiku Wotaharu Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 I appreciate the feedback. Someone at a different forum suggested I extend it a bit at the end. I rather prefer the length I had it at, but I gave it a shot. http://www.fileupyours.com/view/260646/PeterGabrielVsMcVaffeRevision3.mp3 Do your worst! lol Quote
