AsB Remix

[sleeplessdragn]

Hey guys, I've just pretty recently got back into the FL and decided to remix an old favorite of mine.

Comments and critiques are welcomed, as always. Hope you enjoy my take on this interesting piece.

Nice song! I love it, just downloading right now, keep up the nice work!

[dancingmaniac3]

Eh..song is ok...The melody needs to be more...OUT.. like, more loud. and it kinda just repeats over n over which isnt bad but eh...lol..nice tho.

[sleeplessdragn]

Thanks! I was planning on submitting this into FFR. I'm glad that you guys liked it.

[BCLR]

I just burnt it onto a CD along with some other stuff, I just can't get enough of it, it kicks ass! Thnaks for making it.

[Afrobean]

Honestly, I liked the original better. No offense, I just think it handled the melody better.

AsB is old...

Edit: It's ok... I wish you would keep the melody, you changed the notes up a bit, the rest is ok, but having heard the original song, I prefer the original melody over your remade one.

I think this remix blows loads all over the original. I totally dig it. Good show.

[Varia]

I like the original better.

They both sound kind of cheesy, but this one sounds more cheesy. Mostly because it sounds like it was made in FL.

I know that, as with all remixes, a bias forms around the original melody and such. I've allowed some people to listen to both versions who have never heard the original first, and have had different opinions. I am happy though that I've gotten feedback, it's more than what I expected, and I appreciate it much. Though I am still in the process of smoothing things out, all I ask is that you look at this remix as a standalone piece, instead of a comparison between the original. I'm humbled to even think that I could out do Jewpin, but I did give my best efforts into putting my own style into his work.

Again, I really do appreciate all the feedback, but I think I'm just a little bit annoyed at a general notion that all remixes need to be compared to the original. And of course, I am always trying to perfect and re-perfect pieces that I produce; and that includes making songs sound less FL : P.

For Fruity Loops, that is excellent. A supurb hard trance mix of the tune.

The only problem I see is that in the main syth, it sometimes sounds flat.

Alright, well I've been working on this still, a little bit each day, and I'll be posting a newer version soon. I've added what I feel is a stronger bassline to fill up the spectrum a bit more, along with a couple of minor effects and leevl changes. Hopefully it will have a better feel and less of a cheesy tone.

I was starting to get a little tired of the original. Very nice work. Excellent remix. One thing though, around 1:33, I don't like how you did that part in 3 8th notes with a rest inbetween. That could just be me though.

[sleeplessdragn]

Alritey, I got around to posting up the mix with the corrections and additions and all that jazz. I added a a couple of kick variations for spice, and a few other things.
