Onslaught Six Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Alright, I don't really post on OCR often. I love what you people here do, though, and I've got a proposition. (Well, more like I already came up with the idea on another forum and thought maybe I could do it here too, but let's pretend I came up with it here.) I want some folk to remix a track of mine. You can use the original tracks or you can create something entirely new or whatever you want to try and do. Be creative! Here's the multitracks I made: http://www.sendspace.com/file/clzqpc It's at 107BPM. It's in...C# I think? With a lot of notes going down to A and B. Hm. Okay, I'm probably doing a cruddy job of explaining. Basically, I'm an industrial musician and I wrote this song and a lot of people think it's great, so I figured I'd hold this little contest for anyone to remix it. The deadline is June 9th. Have fun with it! It doesn't have to sound industrial or anything, either, you can do whatever you want with it. The winner (chosen by an arbitrary amount of factors which I will deem your remix "the best") will get their song used on an upcoming single or EP, wherein I will promote the hell out of you, and likewise give you a jumping on point to promote the hell out of me, if you so wish. EDIT: Want to hear the original? That'd probably help. http://www.sendspace.com/file/lg4e65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Cool. I started last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Giggity! Glad someone's interested. C'mon, peoples! You don't even have to include my vocal track or anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I've got a first (and most likely final) draft. How should I put it up? I can put it on my bandcamp, if you'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 You can do that or you can upload it to Sendspace or whatever, man. You can even just PM me the link. Hell, I've got Pidgin, you can send me the file if you want to do that. Up to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 http://djgram.bandcamp.com/track/future-onslaught-six-remixed-by-dj-gram Ta-Da! If you don't get any audio, then it's still processing - try later. Should be done by now, though. And I'm assuming the title of the track is "Future" - that's what all the multi-tracks were labled with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Eheh, yeah, that's the title. That's a pretty awesome instrumental mix, indeed. Definitely plays around with the structure and does some fun stuff. Really like the effect in the middle where it fades down. Maybe it's just me but I think maybe some of it's too loud? Could just be the computer I'm using, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yeah, that's probably my fault. I tend to mix pretty loud, especially on the lower frequencies. I might go back and tweak it on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 One week left! C'mon, someone's gotta be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernito Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 OK, I'll start doing something... I'm still not sure about what style I'll use for the remix, but it'll probably be something rather unexpected for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 You'd be surprised! I like tons of different music, and seeing the song redone in a different light is actually the whole point of running this. So, yeah, have fun with it.

Fernito Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 hahaha sorry, but I totally destroyed your track! It's unrecoznizable now Hope you like it! http://soundcloud.com/fernito/onslaught-six-remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 On the contrary, I was still able to recognize a lot of the melodies I wrote. Interesting to see it interpreted so loosely and beautifully, though! Almost seems like it's an actual song now. Some of the middly improvisational bits remind me of Mega Man 3's main theme, actually, which made me laugh a little. Mostly because of brentalfloss.

Fernito Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 hahaha, I had to Google for brentalfloss. Watched some videos, it was pretty funny indeed. BTW, I hadn't heard Megaman's 3 soundtrack before, so any resemblances are purely coincidental I only based on your track to do this remix.

Onslaught Six Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Oh, I wasn't meant to imply there was actually MM3 influence, just that it seemed coincidental. It might just be that the track lends itself well to game-melody noodling (much more than some of my other stuff, for sure) and it's in a similar key. Listening again, this is a damn fine mix. It just needs a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernito Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ouch, I'm pretty bad with names. Maybe you can suggest one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Future (Silence) is the first that comes to mind. For some reason. Incidentally, Draygon, yours needs a good name too. <.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernito Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 That name sounds pretty nice to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayzon Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Crap. >_< Alright, first thing I thought of: Future (Prophecy Mix). You know, what with the whole future thing. Oh, and I won't be able to re-master my mix, even though I know you said it was pretty loud: I just got a new laptop the other day, and in the process of transferring all my projects and samples over, my sample library got unsorted, and now none of my old projects have their samples loaded, and I don't have the time to go back and re-load all of my samples. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ah, it's cool, man. As long as you still have an original WAV, I'm good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 One more day until the contest is (informally) closed! If you're working on something, let me know, and I'll keep everything temporarily open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernito Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 How many reviews have been submitted so far? (I guess this isn't the only site where you posted this contest ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Er, ah...three. :/ But it's more than I had before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 107 BPM, I think I mentioned it in the original post. Technically, yeah you're too late...but you can do one anyway! I'll probably include it in a later thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Six Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm going to need lossless WAV files of those tracks, you guys. You can email them to me or PM them to me or just post them here. Upload them to Sendspace or Megaupload or something, or just email them to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
