gsilbers · 12th September 2006

ill love to hear some advice and comments on my remix.

use a lot of the original samples. like the electronic percusion, and even some of the voices as percusion and kik. but doubled almst everything so it sounded louder and fuller.
used my virus TI for the lead synths and vengeance bass and club sounds.

i can dig it for sure...i alwaysed liked that song allot, i remember hearing it when it first came oput when i was pretty young and really was into it...its held up for sure. your mix doesnt give the funnyness of the song justice though...too technoy for my taste...sounds good though! i like the drum changes, ill shit.

It's pretty cool, but I think the auto-panning thing can be a bit much at times, and at a couple points it dosen't seem to flow musically.

Nice work.

I love it! Great work on the vocals! Awesome.

Sorry, but I don't think this works at all and not just because you've taken one of the greatest tracks of all time and turned it into a cheezy disco diddy. The vocal, which was sung to the behind the beat groove of the original is constantly behind the stiff, lifeless machine beat and makes it sound like Gabriel doesn't know how to sing--this is not the problem. If you insist on going ahead with this version you have to do some serious vocal editing to make it fit the new beat.

Hi!

Can you please share the plug-ins you used to process the vocals - I really dig the ping pong effects and pitch shift stuff.

Sounds like dfx buffer override but better - I would like to process my vocals like this I think it's brilliant.

Thanks!

the new beat has no life or feel at all .. it's just a 1-2, 1-2 rhythm
