Originally posted by BasherT I's just like to thank everbody who played a role in setting up the comp, taking the time to enter and taking the time to judge and to provide such helpful constructive criticism. Isn't it amazing how a little snippet of vocal could inspire such beautiful and diverse music? My little tune came in 9th which surprised the hell out of me. It was the first time I ever used Reason to produce a track and the first remix I ever produced. I totally agree with the main criticisms the judges raised of poor mixing/mastering and the dodgy kick/hihat sounds I used. I had a real blast producing the track. I haven't had so much fun for ages in fact. I might try and do a Cubase version and go for a higher quality production. I'd be very interested to know what gear/software/hardware others used to get their sound, particularly isoterra and alphadelta. The quality of those two tracks is phenomenal. All tips greatfully received by us beginners!! Thanks again to all BasherT

Isoterra uses fruity loops + plugins

reason & recycle here

Nice on BasherT

Mainly Fruityloops v4 + VSTi's

Thanks everyone! Can't believe I won, lol, would have been happy with just finishing in the top half! Only just got back from Holland tonight, Dance Valley was awesome... top weekend all in all and this news tops it off .. thanks again to all the judges & people who commented. In response to people asking what I used, it was sequenced in Fruityloops 3.56, using the following VSTIs: Polyiblit, Pro-53, FM7, V-Station & Z3ta+... I think that was it. The percussion samples came from various sources.

Well done to everyone who contributed... I'm staying at a friend's house tonight but I'll download the pack when I'm home tomorrow & post comments

Also, apparently I get to choose what the next remix competition is? Sounds excellent... can someone provide me with a list of tunes used in the previous competitions just so I know what's already been done? I'm only aware of this one & Plummet - Damaged. Thanks... and also, when do people think would be a good time to aim for?

Yeah, Maybe after the christmas or something.

Hey....

How do i use that .rar file...?? Eager to get the Mp3 files....

it is an archive file (like a zip file) and needs to be unRARchived (like unZIPping) which you can do with a shareware program called WinRAR (like WinZIP) which you can get by searching google or www.download.com or just go to www.winrar.com (i think)..

Geez, i wish i hadn't missed that contest... maybe i'll remix the track anyhow...


btw. i listened through the results and i was a bit disappointed. the results for the damaged competition were a lot better.

don't get me wrong, the remixes for this competition are not bad but it's just that many of the remix have really an enormous potential but are just mastered awfully or have a bassdrum or a snare that does not fit, or things like that.

from all of the results submitted my favorite remixes are isoterra, neotune, acute and psy-t. isoterras remix indeed is great, tho i miss a little bit more drive and is it just me, or is the kick a bit too much on the right channel

hope i can participate in the next competition

Having finally heard my remix on a decent sound system I'll be the first to agree that the mastering was awful. It sounds great on the £30 system I bought from Argos though

I agree abut Psy-T; In fact I was disappointed he didn't place higher, but there were some great efforts in there and I don't think anybody got any praise they didn't deserve.

Hopefully I'll have my technical knowledge up to scratch in time for the next contest
