Remix opportunity

fuck you, pay me

(had to be done)

maybe you should post this on IMM?

(i'll give it a shot)

Does anyone actually read IMM?

No.

by "no", dan means "no (rock drummers in Boston looking for a gig)" :>

I mean, I stopped reading it for personal reasons, but I didn't think it got much traffic, either.

Does the remix have to be "indie-friendly"?

Jordan: awesome at subtext. ;_;

Spencer, depends on what you mean by "indie-friendly"?

(I mean, these days I think there's a lot of electronic dance music that's "indie-friendly.")

i am interested. i e-mailed you. or tried. :) hope it worked.

oh it's on

you could also try remixfight but the music has to be released copyleft I think plus the regulars over there tend to come up with pretty horrendous cubasified bedroom bullshit

Hi Ludo, sorry, I haven't gotten anything from you yet ... try again, maybe?

Just e-mailed you back, Tom.

got it, won't be able to listen until tonight.

No prob.

i could turn down the treble and do a spoken word piece over it

do an electroplankton remix, slocki

Can I chop this up into 30 second chunks and scramble them?

i should start a thread called "Spoken word opportunity"

Don't step on Ned's turf.

this is all original stuff

Can I chop this up into 30 second chunks and scramble them?

'no no the bridge is AFTER the chorus, it's totally different'

i'd love to give it a shot; i'll send you an email

Get at me dog.

message sent

jay, didya get anything from me? I tried to send the ILM email (for the first time evs, I think), and I got a blank screen.

you got myspace so we can hear what you're about ???

...but if it's got guitars in it i'm not interested

You can always take the guitars out, you know.

^^^what a brilliant idea...

...where do i sign ???

Hey, so I got a bunch of e-mails from people -- much more than I expected -- so I'm going to close this off for now. If you've already e-mailed me, I will get back to you today. Thanks for your interest!

I mean, I stopped reading it for personal reasons, but I didn't think it got much traffic, either.

:(

it may not get as much traffic as the other boards, but the percentage of posters able & willing to do remixes is super high!

Lynskey is gone now, though, right? Cause that's a guy who can do a good remix, I think.

If he is gone, that's too bad, because his stuff was AWESOME.

ill remix you, jaymc!

jycam

lol

YYYYJMCAMCA MCAMCA JYA MCA

^^^^ blowin it up in a club near u

J-YMCA

Err...I should have actually emailed instead just saying I would in a roundabout why. Yeah.

Does anyone have a web page or myspace address for Lynskey? B/C I can't find him on searches, and that dude was seriously awesome.

userinfo puts him as his display name@gmale, but that's all I've got.

i have a 3 year old email from him that has his email as paul at b1lbl1o.n1ldram.co.uk - maybe give that a try?

(1's should be replaced with i's obv)

Hi. I'm in an indie-pop band, as some as you know.

thats nice...

...so has your indie pop band got a name/myspace ???

heres my space its got sum stuff i played around with...

just checking this is still happening (while i have time to do it)

can anyone recommend a good program to use to do remixes? what have those on this thread used?

WHERE BE ME DRY SESSION TRACKS

pollywog: wrong place, wrong time, son.
s.rose: try I Make Music.

wrong tune, wrong band methinks

I should have stuff for you in the next couple of days, by the end of the week at the latest. If you need some extra time as a result, that's OK.

why dont you just post ur shit and let everyone who wants take a crack - wider net etc

1. Because I don't want to publicly post an entire album that is about to be re-released.

2. Because I don't want the hassle of dealing with an infinite number of remixers -- sending everyone the raw audio tracks, following up, selecting which remixes we'll actually use and which we'll discard, etc.

maybe just post one trak with all the raw files for everyone as a test to see who can make the best go of it before handing over the good shit to just anybody...

^^^good idea

drummer needs a click track. no offense.

None taken. Our engineer said the same.

lol!!

oh right, i will work on mine this weekend.

None taken. Our engineer said the same.

...your engineer wasn't mixerman was it ???

i'm half done. i may or may not be building the whole track around j's five-word backing vocal

Ha, awesome.

I just sent out an e-mail to a few of you that I'm still waiting on. In case you didn't receive it, I'll say it again here: this is the final week that we can accept a remix. Basically, the CD is going to be mastered this weekend, so if the remix is not in by Friday in .wav form, it won't be on the album. If it looks like you won't be able to make it, just let me know. We've already got about ten mixes in, so we're in pretty good shape, although it'd be nice to have a few more, too.

YSI?

will remixers get a copy? :>

Well, it will be available for free on our website starting in a couple of weeks, but if you want a CD, I can send you one.

hi jaymc, i forgot to reply to your email so i'll do it here - i sent you an mp3 to see if you were into it a few weeks ago, did you not get it? i think my mix is a bit drab as i ran out of time but i'll resend you the file and you can make up your own mind..

OK, thanks. Yeah, I never got it!

you should have mine in your inbox via sendspace. could probably have trimmed a few seconds of dead air off the end but oh my goodness look at the time.

Hey, it's on the streets.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting home and hearing this!

did you do one, nabs?

I thought nabisco was prom queen?

I'm am if you happen to like that track. If not, I'm someone else.

you ain't me

Thanks for the revive, EZ.

Sweet, I win the longest title award.

i did the dub one (track 11, government name)

All This Dust thass me (Jaymc on clarinet).

jay! (i did tr. 8)

Yeah, ILXors on this thing:

#1: Eppy
#3: Nabisco
#5: n/a
#8: Ludo
#11: Jordan
#13: Eazy
#14: MF Gill
#18: Tombot

Certain ILXors are way-slick with production; I am impressed and plan to play close attention to their EQ tips on any future music-making threads.

puppy you are outed!

I AM IN A BAND WITH OTHER PUPPIES

puppy skullduggery

I went to one of their shows.

Not the best chops, but great energy, really good enthusiasm.

what is the name of this all puppy band. . . .???

yeah. i pushed the level on the bass way high on my dub, which sounded cool when i submitted it, but after mastering is like "WHOA TOO MUCH BASS, DUDE".

Nabisco goes all Pet Shop Boys.

Puppy = chihuahua
