acheadKeymasterThanks Magic, I’ve really struggled with the “offtuneness”… I guess I’m just hoping people will appreciate the creativity and over look the lack of a solution! 😉
If I fix it in the meantime then I’ll re-upload it before the deadline!

junoParticipanti think i’ve got it solved – i still want to check tomorrow to make sure all of this cold&wet weather doesnt have my ears messed up. i think you were right about that ratio Juggernaut – appreciate it man!
i adjusted the pitch a few days ago by ear & had it raised by (0.43) – then i did the math & the change in pitch came out to be (0.37) . i matched it up with the original song & muted it on & off to hear both. the pitches are now both the same i think. small changes might still have to be made because my original track may not have perfect pitch itself.

larry whiteParticipantnice work
AdSense 336x280December 6, 2005 at 8:00 pm #581618
KelixParticipantCrin nice work…but the phrasing in the verses are off a little bit…they are on beat but needs to be slid forward or backwards by two beats, that will give the verses a better feel…the chorus and the way you chopped her up are cool…I especially like what you did with the intro

housefly88,
Great track – love the synths and breaks – I mean, really love the synths – very melodic (i think that’s the right word)
keep it up

Kelix[/quote:36re7q6g]The way I have them in my remix is the way they are in the original. I just decided to keep it the way it was, thanks for the feedback though.

KelixParticipantCrin, I counted out the measures in your mix, everything is fine except the first verse when it comes in…in this song everything is in 8 bar phrasing, in the original her verse (everyone knows…) starts on the 3rd beat in the 8th bar of the phrase preceding the verse, yours starts on the beat of 3 in the 2nd bar of the phrase…It really makes it feel wierd…try sliding back by 2 bars or forward by 6 bars and it will be spot on…I think your mix is good and just trying to help it be the best it can be.

BattenParticipantFinished my track last week but having difficulty uploading track reached my upload limit!!!!! Then got a virus on my machine have only got the file and need re-install my programs and samples etc….
Hopefully by the time I sort out my PC I will be able to upload my remix. Some good mixes already, I have only used bits of the vocal as not too keen on Lisa Stansfield but hey beggers cant be choosers.AdSense 336x280December 8, 2005 at 3:08 am #581667

acheadKeymasterDJXS // Nice tune man, possibly needed to have more vocal, it’s unrecognisable as a Lisa remix.
Richie // The Sax was a little unexpected but sounded cool. Nice Entry.
De-Fine // Loving the bassline man, one of my favourites so far actually.

acapellaKeymaster[size size=200:2ujt30a2][color color=red:2ujt30a2]The official deadline for the 1st Round is Monday, December 12th [/color:2ujt30a2][/size:2ujt30a2]
So on our reckonings that’s er.. tomorrow

Hopefully everyone whose name is on the official entrant’s list has already made your mix available and uploaded it to us OR you’ve stayed up all night and you’re about to present it to us by today… Juno didn’t specify an exact time but anymore submissions after Monday will not count..
Then it’ll be onto the judging for Playmaker and myself.
Good luck all
