Horsy 193 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 This is awesome. I don't know what made you think that there will be someone to dislike it. KEEP CALM AND EAT CUPCAKES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRiff 45 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 I don't know if this can really be called a decent remix. As much as I hear things through the overpowering bass and the bad mastering, you just speeded up the song, added some extra drum beats which are kind of unimaginative, and you even managed to make the drums miss the beat at some point, in a song this short. I don't want to be cruel or anything, but to be honest with you, this needs a complete makeover. I think I get the idea of what you wanted to do, but this song as it is right now, is too heavily wounded to last for a second listening. Sorry, and please, do try to remake this mix, as it could be a good one. Sig made by: DaReaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretive 16 January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 There are many remixes I haven't liked. I like this remix, quite a bit! Excellent job. Someone commented that you didn't change it that much from the original... but I think you kept it close enough to get the best of both worlds. It has a lot of added energy and is compact, which makes it easy to listen to again and again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deesinn 393 January 27, 2014 Share January 27, 2014 I actually like the idea of the vocals being a higher pitch, it really sounds cool, but next time you should just do that, increase the pitch and balance it out through EQ, not just speed. The frequencies are too high, so you get that squealing scratchy kind of sound, which get's irritating. As for the rhythm section, depending on the tune, sometimes simple is better, you have the right idea, but the most important function of the rhythm section is keeping a consistent foundation for the tune. For example, at 1:16 - 1:18 the song seems like it skips, which takes away from that consistent pulse. Time is everything. You should be proud, these things aren't easy, I've never remixed a song in my life. What software are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,569 January 27, 2014 Share January 27, 2014 I'm going to be honest, that was pretty good! The quality was somewhat low and the drum beat is slightly off at points but overall its pretty well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dash 101 January 27, 2014 Share January 27, 2014 Being a heavy remix listener, I've got to say that this is pretty good, I like how you kept the original layout and the beat that you added in. A suggestion I could make is to add a bit of variation, at times it can sound a a bit repetitive. Overall it's a great job and your hard work paid off. You should be proud, these things aren't easy, I've never remixed a song in my life. What software are you using? On a different note, +1 here.

Karba 63 January 28, 2014 Author Share January 28, 2014 Hey Everypony, thanks for the positive feedback! I agree that theres not much variation, i will work on that for my upcoming remix of the Cafeteria song (Equestria Girls). Deesinn I'm using "FL Studio 10 Producer Edition" and "Audacity" to make music.

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 January 28, 2014 Share January 28, 2014 Yeah, I'd have to agree with @OrangeRiff, this is not really a remix. It's just sped up and added some drum beats. A remix is your take on the song. Take it for a spin and change some things. Plus, some of the drums are off sync. I think you rushed this remix A LOT. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to say you should ditch it and start over clean, because I feel that you haven't grasped the true definition of a remix. 2/10 Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

No absolutely not, i ageee with you that there can be lots of impovments . This song was pretty hard to work with since it changes speed every ~35second which outsyncs the beat at some points.. i had more plans for this "remix" actually but after spending hours exporting and importing small parts of the song between Audacity and FL i made the descission to just upload what i had and start working on something else instead. (Which i just finished moments ago, its called serenity and has a thread) Edited January 28, 2014 by Karba Feel free to follow me on Soundcloud! - https://soundcloud.com/lets_fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
