Take that!
So, I finally beat the problem I have of never finishing anything. No, really, I can think of maybe two projects I've started which have actually reached completion in the past several years. In two days, however, I managed to crank out this 5:53 remix of a song I've never heard before.
Conjure One - Face the Music (Revvy's Near Future Mix)
BAM!
The only completely original part is the percussion, which I made by slicing up the drum loops of the original song. The strings, piano, vocals, bassline, guitar, etc. are all samples of the original, except in completely new arrangements. I listened to Face the Music after I finished the song, and they sound incredibly different. I like my version more, personally ;)
This all came out of a remix competition on acidplanet.com, which is for users of ACID or ACID Express only. Still, they provide a 198mb sample pack with an ACID project file, so I just ditched the project and opened the rest in FL Studio. The plus side of this is that I now have a much better grasp of the program, and I even tried my hand at some basic mastering.
Anyways, I'd love to hear about anything that works/doesn't work in the track, and any general feelings about it. Recommended listening position: head back, eyes closed. I'm not quite sure what style this is, but it's only 125 BPM and it's pretty laid back for some parts.
