William Orbit - Barbers Adagio for Strings (DJ Tiësto Remix) (pg. 4)

I don't like Corsten's mix of it at all. In fact, I much prefer the ATB remix. :stongue:

I think Ferry saved some grace with his mix of "Ravel's Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte", which is much better IMO. And I haven't heard Tiesto's mix of Barber's Adagio... looking forward to it though.

Well I never really liked it, always sounded cheesy to me. It may be a quality production, but I never enjoyed it because it's too 'happy' and doesn't really transmit the feeling of the original Barber. Ferry changed the harmony to a major key after the breakdown, to me that sounds kinda silly . I think this Tiesto remix is a much better rendition because it's darker, and that's how it's supposed to be. But hey, that's just me :p

what mixing? from magik journey's intro to the main melody of Adagio? That was an intro, he didn't have to beatmatch anything there. All you can hear is the MC screaming anyways.

mixing last night was pretty tight, i have no complaints in that department :thepirate

i think it's really awesome. i never knew when i was there yesterday, that it would turn into something wicked like that. better than ferry's mix, although that one is pretty cool too.

seems I've got a different rip of the track than you then, mine you can hear Magik Journey going out, beats all over the place, then mixing out you can hear him trying to cue :conf:

LOL, get the Concert rip. At least get the first 4 minutes of the set. You'll see that Tiesto had mixed out of Magik Journey more than one minute before the rip you're talking about starts. He only played the strings intro from Magik Journey, but we never got to hear the actual beats of the song. From the Magik Journey intro he fades into the main melody of Adagio. Magik Journey is never heard again after that, so I don't know what you're talking about. ;)

:rolleyes:
and the fact it's a desecration of a classic and he should be shot for even thinking about doing it

That's exactly what I thought and said when I heard Ferry's remix for the first time years ago. :p As I said, Tiesto's remix is a better rendition (for my taste) just because it's a more accurate reinterpretation of Barber's classic.

But you're right about the mishap after the breakdown. I'm sure this track is not finished though, it needs some fine tuning and equalizing.
