A few questions about making a remix
View this Thread in Original format
TheCross
OK, I have no musical background, I have a basic idea of how a song is structured, beats to a bar etc. I feel I have a really good ear for music, but no technical skills per say. This is my problem:

Basically I want to remix a song. I have all the different tracks, bass, strings, piano etc.

Are there some fundamental rules that I have to abide by?
Does anybody have any essential tips and tricks?
What is the basic process of making a remix? Or does it differ from person to person?
Is Reason a good program to learn with?

I don't want to be lead hand in hand, just some general pointers.

Thanks

just flow man....just fly with the song when you produce...fukk the rules.

The basic idea of doing a remix is taking the main parts of the original and then giving your own interpretation of the tune with them.

How you want to do it is entirely up to you, though :)

I think his question was how to make a remix...he said he had the ear for it...but needed to know how to make it..

I can't help you cause i also want to know the same thing.

Dj_Psygnosis is right. That is more what I was looking for. Just a few techincal pointers and tips...

As soon as you have made you first song, you know what mistakes not to make for your next song. And so on. I've been producing for 5 or 6 years and I still don't know how to make a decent mastering ;)
Use Reason if you got it. You can use any program as long as you make any songs at all!
