   Now that I'm not feeling guilty or stressed for needing to deal with posting remixes. I've been enjoying watching them roll in.

   This Fixing My Brain one's pretty cool:

   Has a few super-loud bass notes but that's probably the source material's fault.

   That's pretty good. You must be popular if people take time to remix your songs. Speaking of that, I tried to mix a song today. I failed...horribly.

   I like that remix, but at points it sounds like it's lurching suddenly into something completely different. I think it needs a bit of glue to make the different sections flow better. I think someone should come up with wikisong so that people can tweak a remix until it sounds perfect. :-) I know a fresh ear always picks up niggling things that you don't get if you've been listening to something for the last few hours.

   That'd be cool. I think myvirtualband.com does that sort of thing, but it'd be neat to see it actually wiki-style.

   There is an online mixing experiment using folk music and live recordings from the streets of New York. It can all be done real time on the site (although this is pretty rudimentary at the time). I'd be more interested in doing an online tandem back-and-forth style mixing. Something a bit more involved than just tweaks; the loops would constantly evolve and get swapped back and forth. Course at some point itd have to come together as a real song.

   That's the tough part. I'm not sure distributed songwriting can really work well. Even in bands it's difficult, never mind scattered throughout the internet. I'd be interested to see it happen though. It might be good for production. Someone brings the core of a song and then everyone tries to gussy it up.

   Words I learned in this thread so far: niggling and gussy.

   That's pretty cool. I think your music there would sound better without my crappy vocals on it. But maybe I'm biased.

    Thanks for pimping my remix. brad. The super-loud bass notes are because I turned the bass up too high. I think. The source material doesn't boom and pop like that. I'll do a collaberative thing. I suck at beats. so if someone wants to tackle that side. that would be super.

    [b]sheepie[/b]: johnno. thats worse than my singing. and believe me. I scream I I SUCK OUT LOUD! No offense taken. I'll admit I am not a good singer. but that must make you psychic since I'm not even singing on that track heh. Just so you know. all I've done is the musical side (guitars. drums. bass. etc) - the vocals I used are actually Brad's vocals from the source. so I'm not quite sure what you are trying to imply there..

    I made the Borderline Chad mix, my sister made the Nervous Cranberries mix, and my other sister made the Baby. Where You Been?. I'm working on a Bad Attraction mix, then maybe a Look and Feel... mix.

    Hey, I am in the midst of making a massive remix of brad's first album. It's been about the only remix-type stuff I've been doing as of late. It's been fun going back and forth with so much material at hand, and I think I have some interesting stuff so far.

    I'd say I'm about a quarter of the way to where I want to be. The idea would be one gigantic remix that CAN be broken up into individual tracks. But all the individual pieces reference each other so much I think it could work as a whole.

    Anyhow, I do have 1 track that I'd like to maybe get up on CCMixter today. It stands pretty well on its own (though it does have what I'd call "leftover" drum bits at the end that I will most likely use later on down the line). So far it's the only piece I've worked on for this that contains an external sample (a snatch of a monologue from an old movie, let you guess which one if/when you hear it) but it is also the only part that has a traditional flow to it unlike my more "artsy" attempts. Here it is: http://ccmixter.org/media/files/stream/artemisstrong/6783.m3u

    The reason I post is this: does anyone else ever contemplate full album remixes of this sort? It's really become my goal to treat remixes this way.

    I don't think I've seen anything quite like that but I don't get out much. When I was releasing all the source for the album I thought it would be cool if it could be rearranged into something completely new.

    I remixed I Think I Started a Trend.

    I got up yesterday morning with a song in my head instead of a hangover. I think it came out pretty well. The website claims someone is using parts of it in another song, but I don't hear it. And it said that like only an hour after I uploaded, which seems odd.

    Anyway:

    New "Overreating" remix:

    http://ccmixter.org/media/files/stream/artemisstrong/7119.m3u

    Has a bit of a tail at the end, all in the hopes of incorporating it into a large mega-mix someday.

    Hope you like!
