Behind Blue Eyes (Dance Remix)

Hello!
Download my latest remix, Limp Bizkit's Behind Blue Eyes (Dance Remix)
Im waiting to ur opinions right here!!!
so what d u think ?

DOWNLOAD

Sorry I don't think this a very good remix at all

It seems all you have done is taken the original track & add a very basic beat & bass line & added a sawtooth pad (and a poor one at that)

Be more creative, chop the track up rather then just keeping it exactly the same apart from the beat. add some more of your own stuff.
Go and have a listen to the Trifactor Remix. See what he has done to the track. It's much more creative.

Sorry if I sound Harsh there.

Ya i agree. I think you should chop it up and take out sum parts, Dont leave everything in.
I think that synth is kinda cheesy and empty sounding.

First thing to say, im not a proffesional remixer or music producer or DJ.
im 16, & this is my first remix on Reason..I used to work on ejay+Acid (yuk)... Now I started to learn on Reason 2.5..
so, im still a lil more +begginer.

Now. what about the synthsizers, I played on keyboard? the various style beats, some effects, the bass as u said, those are what? not a part of remix??

I respect ur idea..
but that doesnt mean at all, that this remix sux ! there is a hard work on it, & there are no technical problems..(like wrong notes or dunno what)
at least the local radios are playing it & im in a competition with tis remix.

& a remix is a free word...u can do anything u want, right? so why u should tell chop the track apart? maybe I wanted it this way

Anyway thanks for ur ideas, maybe in my future work I will "chop" the track..

By the way, if u see the final section (synthsizer), there is a background rythm guitar, I cuted from the first part of the song..s

see?? I didnt let the song as it is...at least!

so what would be ur reply?

Well I can't say I like it much either.
You have the most basic bassline and drums going on here, they might have worked 5 years ago but not anymore. The lead saw is horribly cheesy and the whole tune lacks in bass.

It doesn't help much that I absolutely hate the original too.

alien dj man these guys are trying to help you dont start having a go at them for telling you to chop up your track its called "constructive critacism" as in they are helping you make your track better

Exactly I dont think i'll be downloading the track based on your responses to other peoples replys.....

....but i will be asking for the link to this competition your talking about? Or is there no competition? Did you "bend the truth" to make you sound better? Bah I dunno.....I'm jumping to conlcusions again!

TTFN!

Shep

ok guys.

Since everyone is commenting the same, I want it or not I will agree with all of u...

well guys what u all mean by BASIC?? u mean the type of sounds I used ? (like I should changed the kick) or the pattern?
same question for the bass & the melody... is it the sounds I choosed not good or the way im playing?

bengerman, thank you

Shepless, the competition will be soon..but nothing to do with this forum its on a Lebanese Radio station's forum (forum.radioonev5.com)

Mr.Mystery,
u said "they might have worked 5 years ago but not anymore", right?
let me tell u a logical answer:
5 years ago, I was 12 years old kid, nothing to do with MUSIC therm.
then im in Lebanon (middle east) where the clubbin experiance is going better this year...the years before 2003, there were no big events here such in 2003 (Oakenfold-Sasha,john degwid...came here)
so this means, what u heard "5 years" ago, im hearing in this years, same my communities around me. its still kinda fresh to me or us.
what d u think?

ANYWAY, I will be trying to get ur comments & try to make my future remixes better & better. some1 at least can start by this right? but continue better!

i think bren means basic in the sense of dull and lacks variation etc, but then bren would, as his productions r very technical and 'in-depth'

i wont take the piss or anything but im 16 as well, it doesnt really affect how well u perform in various sequencers, its knowing how to use them and get the best you can out of them, personally using reason...for a beginner isnt really recommended, most users use fruityloops or FLstudio 4 or whatever the hell its called now, my advice is pop over to the production studio, have a good read of the various topics discussed and then attempt again.

Ok then, let me give you a more in depth answer to my reply.

What I am getting at is that from what I have heard you definatly have the abilty to make the remix a hell of a lot better then it is.
Your sound in my opinion is not a proffesional standard, but it is not that bad. But the way you have gone about remixing the song is.
The layout is too simplistic, just making a beat over a track is too easy these days, as is finding the midi to get the correct notes (althought theres nothing wrong in that ). If you had perhaps gave the track more of your own 'identity' by adding more original parts to it, extending it 'chopping' it up ect. It would sound better & original. Also as Nik (Mr.Mystery) says, you have used a very basic beat and off beat bass which sounds dated. Try to come up with some more complex patterns. You are obviously capable of more.
Go and have listen to some of the tracks on this forum such as:

Surrogate Survivor - Radience (Chris Shepherd Remix)

Evanescence - My Immortal (Michael Feihnstel Remix)

Echano - Feels Like Flying (Original)

And of course:

Evanescence - Hello (Bren-F's Bugged Out Vocal Mix)

Pervading Call - Destiny (Bren-F Remix)

All those links will give you the threads to listen to the tracks
These are all tracks from people who post on these forums, a lot of them unsigned (although there is more to producing then getting signed ). Have a listen, they may give you some good ideas.
Stick aound mate, don't let the feedback from this track put U off.

I may have a go at remixing 'Behind Blue Eyes' Myself

Bren-F, Im in love with ur HELLO remix heh
Im getting what u mean to chop it..& add some creativity...
Is there any problem if u say to me what softwares u used to remix it?
d u think Acid + Reason 2.5 will let me do good remixes? or I should use other softwares?
