so it's my new goal to get off my ass and make a remix per week. it feels way more productive than just making and empty beat. what ch'yall think?http://s54.yousendit.com/d.php?id=3P3NGP999XICO30C1BOUUIM80K

    I like it. The relatively free bassline provides a nice contrast to te driving drum/guitar combo.

    Looking forward to future installments.

    Good call man. I've been doing more remixes lately with scraps/partials of started-but-never-finished stuff.

    Downloading the remix now. Back with thoughts.

    I've been working on a remix of MC Shy D's Shake It. Since I don't have an accapella I'm just taking the intro and then vocal phrases and then throwing some loops and huge drums in. It sounds admittedly fatboy slim-ish, but thats ok. its almost done. when its done i'll post it up to see if anybody likes it.

    I guess the link has gone bad. yousendit does this after so many downloads. but seriously folks, if you downloaded it that much, the least you can do is give a mutherfucker feedback.

    I don't like the rap, but that's my problem. But the beats are pretty smoove. I've got one I might post but it needs a re-remix by someone who knows what they are doing.

    I don't like rap

    Is this gonna turn into another "Illmatic is not the greatest LP of all time" debate ?

    This thread sucks. It gets no stars.

    Come on p_gunn I know you got remixes ready to go.

    Do I have to post my own mp3s to make it entertaining??

    Can someone re-post the Life's a Bitch acapella?

    Ooops, I was one of the people who downloaded the original mp3 and never got around to posting my opinion. Thanks to Daze's rant, I'll offer some belated feedback.

    I really liked the bassline. It doesn't have to do much, because it sounds so nice. Thumps nicely. And the beat matches correctly with the lyrics -- I know that sounds like a really basic requirement, but I'm amazed at how many amateur remixers can't get the shit to match...that's the key right there.

    (Aside: I evaluate almost all music in my car. My computer speakers are a joke; even the best song can sound wack when it's being played from 0.5" Dell tweeters. And I like playing things loud, so unless it's a Saturday afternoon, I don't want to annoy my neighbors. The combined visual & audio stimulation from driving & listening to music can't be beat, IMO.)

    One suggestion I'd make is to vary the drums a little. Maybe some fills mid-verse, or an open hi-hat to break up all those closed 32nd hats.

    Also, good idea to try a remix a week. Think about it, by Christmas you'll have 14 different remixes, and the best of those would make a nice little EP.

    i actually have never really done remixes, that Life's a bitch one was my first ever, but i agree with Delay, it's a good musical exercise, so this has inspired to try to tackle some more... perhaps after CMJ...

    sorry. didnt use that.

    Sounds good Delay. I'm down to join you in a weekly remix contract. You can be accountable to me and vice versa.. Just leave your seal in response and its on.

    Here's a little quickie PE (Public Enemy?) blend. Forgive the sound quality and brevity, my comp wont let me upload files bigger than 2.0 mb.
