This is great.Quick question,if I may,might be a stupid one but can you add your own elements ie instruments and such like to the original ones for remix or is it just the stems that are included in the download that can be used.Thank you

@Mezzler You can use as many or as few of the stems as you like. I have probably used 50/50.

Hi all,

Please find my remix here.

Had a lot of fun with this one. Must say that the original is sick, it gave me a hard time to do a rework!

I hope you enjoy! Don't hesitate to let me know what you think.

Cheers

I started by trying to make something quite different from the original style, but just couldn't get anything to fit the quality and vibe of the vocal so decided to keep it quite chilled but still hopefully gave it a different spin on things by upping the tempo slightly.

Given the tempo I had to have a crack at making my first D&B remix, really enjoyed doing the arrangement after watching Shack's courses. Still needs work on some of the levels and eq but I had to let it go. Turn it up!

Hi.

I really like the original song. The song made me be a fan of El Train.

I listened all of his music for the this time.
I love his style, and want to make music like him. His music inspired me a lot.

Thank you. :)

Hello All,
here's my entry:
https://community.producertech.com/nicodps/uploaded_audio/197/el-train-remix-comp-nicodps

A new remix, a new style, as usual, this time I made something really chill, an ambient track I should say...
I've used almost only sounds from the stems but a lot of them are really mangled hard, I used some techniques from Seppa's course, really inspiring one!

Now I'm going to listen your tracks Guys! ;)

Not sure if I am allowed or still will upload a new version, the one i produced is kind of "Hi-End-demanding" and doesn't translate into MP3 acceptably. But the Producertech transcoder seems to be really great, it sounds well here!

I went a little crazy and made two remixes. I think the 'downtempo' remix is more relevant to this competition, but the house remix was so fun to make!

Haha, nevermind that. For some reason I forgot to try to convert my WAV with Audacity, only tried Ozone many times with tweaked settings, and a private cloud upload to hear what it would sound like streamed in MP3 format. Both were horrible, but Audacity does the job well, as does the Producertech engine :) Sure sounds better with 32bit WAV, but the MP3s are just fine.

Also I was just way too fatigued after 10 days of working most days and most of the time, over six hours just yesterday... Good thing I stopped when I did, even though I had much lusher, differently sounding, versions in the process, but they were flawed in some ways :)

It was one of the craziest experiences for me, I did a lot of what should've been done in the DAW or actually adjusted in the mix in Ozone 9 Standalone, 12 or 13 effects in Ozone chain, some of them 3rd-party, including a reverb. Everything adjusted manually, just left parts of initial Master Assistant's created EQ curve. And my chain was over-amplifying parts in it. so that when I adjusted parameter values like 73,xxxxx ms or 10,xxxxxx dB by changing numbers with keyboard, last digit adjusted by 1 created or ruined the vibe. And that with pretty much every parameter. Most complicated job I ever fulfilled and first one of that scrupulous kind. It was my 50th mastering project version (most of them exported) and my 4th Cubase export used for mastering this remix. All the projects and exports take up over 25 GB as just one copy (i keep 3 local and 3 cloud copies of project-related stuff). Ozone saving the originals in each project copy was actually the most space-consuming aspect, should've saved them as new .OZN projects and not as copies.

server is now upgraded people, so there is room for tracks once again! sorry if any of you had issues with uploads. If any of your tracks aren't showing still, or saying still processing (and can't be fixed with a page refresh as in Ben's case), maybe try deleting and re-uploading and then posting the new link... apologies for the inconvenience there!
