[list:b4g4uqyf]"Intricate", flawlessly executed, superb quality. The real makings of a genre-mashing single. Will be on my playlist for the next decade or so.

[list:b4g4uqyf]I think most may have no idea how much skill and expertise it takes to make a final product sound like this. It doesn’t "just happen". I can’t even nit pick a single thing about it. UNBELIEVABLE![/list:u:b4g4uqyf]

[list:b4g4uqyf]You deserve full credit here, no doubt. The way you seamlessly integrated other vocals totally spoke to your own style and put a different tone on the whole track. Very DJ friendly![/list:u:b4g4uqyf]
Production (20 points) – 10
[list:b4g4uqyf]I kind of feel like I owe you an explanation here. Sounded to me like the acoustic/synthesized guitar at the start was stretched and as a result I could hear a lot of splicing. Overall it was quite good, totally playable and listenable but just didn’t quite have the "pro" quality touch of the De-Fine mix from what I could tell.[/list:u:b4g4uqyf]
Mass appeal (20 points) – 20
[list:b4g4uqyf]Purely based on genre, this will probably appeal to a wider audience.[/list:u:b4g4uqyf]

[quote quote="De-Fine Music":b4g4uqyf]
Like all the remix’s I do I’ve made a house mix intendid for club play.
When I’m doing a remix I always try to take it as far from the original as possible whilst keeping it relivant to to the material provided.
It was made using cubase 5.
No samples were used apart from the drum loop (which I did some edits to) and the parts from the original track.
All the vocal edits and glitches you’ll here were made from the original acapella using various vst plugings, a pair of scissors and a bit of glue.
The synths used were:
Trilogy
fxpansions – DCAM: synth squad> Strobe (Which I’m loving at the moment)
And FM8
……………………….
Thanks for listening,
De-Fine music

Tools Used:
– Sony Acid Pro
– Adobe Audition
– Korg Triton Extreme
About:
I decided to create this track from the ground up so I could add musicality that would not distract or take away from the vocals. As such, I decided to write and perform the instrumentals myself (all on Korg). There are several layers of synth bass, synth, strings, piano, and a little guitar. The drum layers are from my collection. I threw in some scratches and vocal stabs to enhance a bit and, I also added some doubles over KBlitz and a slight harmony vocal over JoJo (in a few places). Overall, the goal was to create a sound that complimented the vocal melody and rhythm as much as possible. The result was a track that I think you could actually have sex to…granted if you do, you might want to loop it a few times cause it’s only 3:29. It definately remains in the R&B/Hip-Hop genre. Anyway, this was my interpretation of the acapella as well as my first attempt at creating original content for a remix.
Track Info:
Length: 3:29, BPM: 106, Format: MP3, Size: 8MB, Bitrate: 320kbps
