Hello
What is a remix and why we need it.
Remix is an art where you take some elements from the original tune,for most its a vocal or some special guitar,bass or synth part . And start to creat a new tune deferrent in flaivor and/or defferent in style.The resolt do need to be radicall is you want the remix to be good.
The reason that big records company do a remix for they leading artists is to take the song to the clubs,to people with deffernt taste to spread the song as much as posible .Same go for the djs that want to have other gender styles tracks.
The world full with great remixs ,that only do good for the original song or tune and gave the original creator popularity
A good exsemplle is :
Everything But The Girl - Miss you (Tod Terry Remix)
Jimmy you want to do a 4∗4 mix at 130bmp. I would sagest to do a very simple KiK+HH+Snare
Than start with the original track vocal ( in case that there any )
When the vocal sit tyde with the drum i would build everything around the vocal ,its mean to do more fat drum also .
What I do sagest is do not put any original drums on you new remix cause you will end up with more or less same feeling with in the track
Hope this helps
Sharon

Sorry...I'm 47 so you wouldn't WANT any tips from me, but I have a question.. :-)
Or a couple.
I am used to the term "remix" meaning to take the original tracks and mix them again, possibly changing EQ, levels, or even adding effects. Remixing to make the bass stand out better, etc. This seems also to be what is meant when you get a "remastered" CD like Pink Floyd, and all the older groups come out with.
It also can mean adding things, like a new bass line, or an extra guitar (okay...synth)
I also am slightly aware of it meaning in rap/house/whatever-else-l-am-hopelessly-out-of-touch-with that you take someone elses mix (or your own...from the same CD) and do what I described above, but where the result is radically different than the original.
Does it mean more than that? I guess I don't get how you can decide before hearing what beat you are going to use and what kind of bass....it seems foreign to me, like "no matter what it sounds like...I am going to get it into THIS kind of song" (not that there is anything bad about that..)
But WHAT really does it mean? Is it different than simply sampling bits of the song and restructuring the whole thing?
I ask because it is dawning on me that I don't know what remix means in the context you use it in.
Regards,
Jim
