Hey... finally I went and mixed all the files completely... and uploaded... it's not overly large but for someone on dial-up, it will be an all night download if you attempt it... (I borrowed our library's T3 connection, they have wifi up for anyone in the area)...

anyways...

Anyone that wants to remix this song is welcome to, just put a link to it in this thread, or e-mail me a link...

Here's the original mp3
http://www.fallingdownstudio.com/mp3/so_completely.mp3

and here's the zip file with all the tracks and a couple midi files (It's almost 60mb all together)
http://www.fallingdownstudio.com/So_Completely_The_remix.zip

The song was originally done in the tempo 225, but is actually half that oh... and also pardon my use of Autotune on some backup vocals ...

Thanx,
-gc

Hey there Guitarcomputer!

I have the zip and your mix.
Think i`ll work with it tonight.

It`s a good song for sure!
Well worth my time.
Can`t see why there was`nt more takers...beats me?

Anyway...will post it back in this thread when I have something.
Good song by the way!!

Thanks,
I'm downloading them right now, and will try to make a new mix. Do you want it changed dramatically?

I'll try to do honour to the song

tempting, esp. the lyrics but mine would only come out sounding like severed heads' "special day."

annode
hey.. yeah, some people said they'd take a shot at it in my first posting of the song... but yeah... look forward to seeing what you come up with

MrM
hah, yeah.. do whatever you want with it.. heh... anything goes

xoxos
hah, I'm sure it'd be fine...




btw... There is an info file in the zip with the chord progressions and stuff in it, and the lyrics are in my last post.... hold on... copying...

look forward to hearing anything anyone did with this song

-gc

oh, I got the files too gc!
but I'm trying to finish a song I started,
and am caught up in the Game..
so it'll be a few days before I can do anything.

bluedad
hey... yeah, that's fine.. I know how that goes anyways but yeah... look forward to hearing something from you...

I shall honour my recent broadband connection by downloading this and giving it a go! Will let you know if I come up with something!

hah, sounds good Gridlocked, whish I had broadband at my house oh well... I'll just use the library's wifi instead

I'll give it a go after my team has won The Game

og that reminds me.. haven't done anything yet

spaceman
hah, aight.. I would've been in that game with you guys but I figured I wouldn't have enough time to actually just work on the game so... maybe if there is a next time awsome Idea on that game btw

Pretty cool stuff! I did a quick mix of it - still needs quite a bit of work but:

http://members.cox.net/andrew.wansley/completely.mp3

EDIT: bad link.

im in
this will be a challenge but ill do me best and see what we see eh?



hmmmmm?

ideas...forming ahh!

holy testicle tuesday!!, wait its thursday, anyhow, this rocks - thumbs up ZenCola. goddamn that was good. i've listened about five times now. of course hats off to gc with the original.

lates

t-willy

Thanks t-willy, I'm glad you liked it. Mad props of course to gc for actually writing it . People should post remix kits like this more often! Gc, if you 're interested at all, we could do a collab of some sort.

Sounds good ZenCola, I love that piano break towards the end, good stuff ... and yeah, I'd get together with ya and do a collab... just remind me at the end of this month... term papers are comming up for me at college... heh... I gotta go, my friends are being dumb.. somethings... food time... be back here in a bit...

Still working on the remix here...Expect it mid-July...

Me too; still working on the remix. So far did the vocals and the leadguitar only, took me half the evening
Bloody machine of mine made me reboot too often...
Bloody Windows

Gridlocked
Hah... mid-July?
heh, whenever it's done.. look forward to hearing it

MrM
heh... yeah... windows sucks... Sometimes I wish I could afford to use a mac... but all the time I wish all our audio stuff worked on a linux machine
look forward to listening to your remix 2..

Hehe! And mid-July was a consertative estimate...Eeek!

Wow, that remix was great too! more!!

I'm starting to think that actually Mid July will be when I am done...Hehe!

Hey GC.
I`m about to import your tracks into nuendo now.
BTW...I believe these audio tracks are uneffected.
If you did this in cubase,could you post a link to your project file?
Nuendo will convert it,no matter what version of cubase made it.
It would save me lots of time.

Thanx.
Barry.

Ignore what I wrote above...that was before I listened to the complete project.

Have a prob with the cymbals though.
I`ll need new crash.Your crash on the single drm track is too loud and distorted to use,even with eq.

I can edit the crash out and put in my own...or you can send me separate cymbal hit and drum tracks.

This is a real nice project for me...it`s well organized,and lots of headroom left for me to work!

annode
yeah... the cymbal is a bit loud... I can go back and turn it down... and then do a mix down of the drum track again... or I can mute the cymbal in the track and give you the cymbal sample.. so you can add it wherever at whatever volume you want...? whichever put a link to it on here... so if anyone else had trouble with that loud cymbal...

Gridlocked
hah...

I've been working on it a bit more so maybe before, I just feel like I have to keep posting here so I can find this post when the remix is done!!!

By the way, when it is finished is it okay to post it to my site as it is the only place I have for hosting. Obviously you will be fully credited!

Ere ye go, a very quick and dirty piano, strings, organ, DT geetar remix, haven't written a middle 8 or a proper ending yet...never mind!

One for t'lovers....

so completely shag mix finito

edit -link changed to the full version!

great song guitarcomputer, Im downing the zip... remix in the pipeline...

nice one donkey, like your remix of this beauty...

Maybe a duett between donkey's Lost and guitarcomputer So completely... a mergemix...

what about it donkey and guitarcomputer

/ Lex

Hehe, fine by me, though 'lost' is in the rather dubious key of G minor, while this is in the rather more sensible key of B minor..see how it goes!

donkey tugger wrote:

i just transpose both to eeek majority and auto pitch you to A4 but in a frequency of 441,5 Hz...

I give it try, never done a merge mix before and I need to practice on my perfect pitch

If not, I just post two mixes, one for each .

/ Lex

hey DT.. nice remix... nice and laid back .. I love the build up at the ending, very... hmm... I dunno the world I'm looking for... very ____...


and yeah fine by me if anyone wants to mix mine and donkeytugger's songs together... but good look with the difference in keys... I actually might take a shot at doing that myself too

ooooooo, very nice. can't get the damn song out of my head now..........so completely perplexing.........to sing this to myself........

lates

t-willy

hah..

Like the piano...

Funny thing is I was gonna do the same chords for the verse...Decided to keep the orignals in the end!

guitarcomputer wrote:

very.....

Glad you like it, I'll do the job properly later, when i got a bit more time.

Thanx GC...it would be worth the trouble to make a new drum track with the crash turned down.
So...I understand you will be posting that track here.
Very good GC.thanx.

BTW-I don`t plan to change what you`ve done...all is good!
I plan to add playing and mix it all.
I have some good ideas from my listens yesterday.

oh man... I fell asleep awhile ago at my laptop on my futon... obly got 2 hours of sleep last night... heh... ehh.. sorry annode I'll get that track up sometime tonight...

donkeytugger
no rush... heh, I'm still trying to figure out the word I was thinking of... still thinken.. heh...

your mix keeps growing on me 2.. heh, I really love that build up...

Hokey dokey, finished the bugger I reckon; added suitably morose middle 8 with a few vocal effects, bit of an intro and a better ending, plus a bit of general tweakage here and there. I'll turn thee into Neil Diamond yet m'boy!

so completely shag mix finito

I'll give this a listen tomorrow morning...How did you finish it so quickly?! Mines taking ages!

Gridlocked wrote:

...How did you finish it so quickly?!

a - no drums!
b - played it quite straight in a ballad arrangement so no fucking about trying to be clever as I sometimes try to...
c- wrote most of the chord sequence on the guitar in about 10 mins.
d - vocal was already compressed to buggery so I didn't have to do much by way of effects except a bit of de-essing, delay, reverb.

nice job donkey

well done tugger.

/ Lex

Nice job of the donkster to do a mix that really shows off the fine vocal work of GC.

Very nice!

Wow donkey....breath taking!

Ah, cheers chaps, helps to have good singing to work with to start of course.... This type of gut wrenching balladry comes easy to me these days, getting old....

That remix IS Gooooood

V nice! Very good!

Wow! What a great idea!

GC, I didn't see this post until now and listened to your version of "So completely". Even though it's normally not my genre, I almost instantly grew to like the tune, mostly because of the vocals, I think.

And I instantly began developing some ideas what I could/would do with the material, feeling inspired for the first time since long.

This could be exactly the sort of distraction I need right now...

Would you please let the download up until tonight? I would like to try to make a nice, chilled ambient remix out of this over this weekend...

And thank you for offering your song for "public remixing", I think that's a cool idea and a very generous gesture.

Btw. donkey, I like your remix, good work!

Best,
Stefan

ok.. yes... I have not uploaded that drum track with the cymbal turned down... if I don't have it up by today, someone can shoot me.. heh...

donkeytugger
I love it... and I finally figured out the word I was looking for... You make the song sound very epic thanx for taking the time to do a remix and the comments on my voice



stefankuhn
yeah, I'll have that remix kit up for awhile I would suppose, no reason in taking it down Glad you liked the original too... and yeah... I always love sharing my music one way or anouther, just figured some other people could give this their own interpretation if they wanted to

guitarcomputer wrote:

Hehe, I was thinking of 'soft' and 'wet'

Look forward to the other remixes, always interesting these remix jobbies, to see what people make of things.

Ok, here's my go....built around the vocals.

so completely (drifting)

Thanks for posting the parts, it was fun!

It's mellow.

Very very good. GC, this one has got potential for a real radio hit in my opinion. I'll try my hand on it, tomorrow if you still want more remixes. Donkeytugger's was very cool, also. I kinda think I'd put another drum track on the whole thing...we'll see

so long
ace

Mr.Me
Very cool... I was about to say it's very drifty.. heh.. but noticed it's in the song title I like that low sound that kind comes in every once in awhile and plays a note twice and echos.... is that a synth or is that actually part of the bass sample track?
Good Stuff

Ace
Thanx... and yeah, anyone can remix it if they want.. I'll leave that remix kit up for awhile probley anyways...



all right... I'm remixing that drum track right now... will probley be up midnight my time.. heh... (I have dial-up and a crappy phone line..)

Ok.. the file is uploading right now... so, it won't be able to download for awhile... but... when it's complete... here's the link...

http://www.fallingdownstudio.com/newdrums.mp3

Should be done in an hour I would hope...
I mixed the crash, splash, and kick drums all a lil better this time I think so... hopefully this will help

Quote:

.... is that a synth or is that actually part of the bass sample track?

Yep, bass track clip.

Ok got it...thanx Kyle...much more workable.

Oh..forget to add,nice mix there Mr.Me.
Have to mention ..I was waiting for the drms to come in and go into a trance track.Seems to lend itself to that feeling.

Go job the way it is!

Glad you guys liked it.

Ok, bringing this one back as my version is completed, just got to wait for it to be approved by Electromancer! Will post here...

I'm not even gonna touch this after donks effort...holy shit that's a fine job.. Great tune GC.

dano

Donkey,

This is an amazing remix. It really makes GC's vocals shine. Gives a new dimension to the track... It's definitely staying in my mp3's folder
'Tick

And no cheeze machine either! Makes a change!

Finally caught up with this one (new job is busy-busy-busy! no fuckery-time left at work!)

Great take, Donks! Super-duper, even.

- m

Interesting challenge, I like your vox GC. Nice mix Donk!

I think I'll give this one a shot - post results in a day or 2.

Remix is up for all to enjoy - hope it does GC's voice justice. You've got a very bright future young man

very nice bass groove you got going on there. i like the acoustic guitars too. i like the feel of the tempo a lot better, especially during the "chorus". not sure i like the synth (or is that a guitar with effects?) on the chorus though, still deciding. nice remix though loopfilth and nice original song gc.

can't remember if i commented on your remix or not grid, too lazy to go back through the thread so here goes (maybe again ) - very nice. love how you mess with the guitar samples. excellent work on the vocals too. like the minimalistic feel of this remix and i usually need fuller sounds, but this rocks.

Hi, guitarcomputer (sounds like me), I've just found the site a few days ago and came across this thread. I thought I would have a go at my first remix. What I've tried to do is to simplify everything to let the voice and the song speak for themselves. See what you think.

Thanx man,
I sped it up to 130 cuz it felt to slow for the style I was aiming at. I mucked around with some gtar samples + amp sim and ended up with a U2ish sound - good enuf for a quick mix.

I'm how quick I banged it out, spent about 20min mixing+mastering. Mixed thru phones since the newborn arrived

Kyle has a gr8 voice - very radio friendly (not sure if thats good thing )

Yeah, I love the stuff in the end when the guitar drops out and you hear the layered voice parts!

- m

Thanks M - but..having listened to my mix in the cold light of day on speakers (as opposed to 3am on cans) I think I would go back to the drawing board.
Its all good learning though. Thanks Kyle for putting the song up and good luck with it.

MrM look forward to listening to your remix 2..

It only took me half a year

And it is not even finished...
But here's what I did so far; I changed the vocals with some slight overdrive (tubescreamer) and I changed the guitar solo...

It is my second mix ever!
