22AParticipantJust something I been messing around with. I know the Em remixes have been done to the death but I couldn’t let that Timbaland beat slip by me without ruining it just a little. Anyway, here it is:
One Republic – Apologize (Timbaland remix) v Eminem – Superman
As always, comments/crits/suggestions are welcome. Enjoy!

BuBaParticipantDamn lol I really like the original that I made my version of the beat lol But I think pella is a bit off beat but in a weird way it flows nice lol
When you listen to lyrics you get very nice msg out lol Ironically speaking

yazza187Participantdamn i never thought i would see this 2 completely different tracks but it kind of works it does sound a bit off beat at the start then it gets in to it
the only thing i would change is if you could tack the drums out of the end of the first verse so it gives it a build up to the chorus
nice work anyway
peace

SeanzaParticipantThis brings alot of power out in Superman. Gives it another dimension that I never knew existed.
Little work with timing, I think the "I can’t be your Superman" in the hook needs to be shortened. Try making "Supermaaaaaan" to "Supermaaan", you get what I mean?
Peace

AlasdairParticipantI agree with the small timing issues in the begining, but id say more importantly, in the chorus when eminem says "i can be your superman" its out of tune. If the acapella is good enough quality, use Celemony’s Melodyne to write a new melody. otherwise use antares autotune. a solid mashup though.

22AParticipantCheers for the feedback guys. I been crazy busy with summer school lately (and it is wicked hot down here) so I haven’t had a chance to work much more on this.
Regards to suggestions:
Timing – I agree, needs to be fixed. This is one of my main priorities when I go back over it. The tempo changes a little throughout the song so I’ve been having a bit of trouble but I’ll get there easy enough once I get some time.Em in the hook – I had a lot of trouble trying to get this to sound like it does in my head. Again, it’s 90% a timing issue (placement and stretching) and I think 10% some pitch work. I also contemplated dropping it altogether but I really like how it links the verses with the chorus. One of my main motivations for putting the two together was the way the themes of the songs (paradoxically) worked together.
Yazz’ drums suggestion – Maybe. I’m still thinking about what I want to do with it. This track will be revised when I get time. So yeah. Maybe.
Seanza – For the record, I too thought Superman was a pretty average song. It was kind of depressing and just straight up sounds like something that would make me nauseous after two or three plays. I thought by using a more powerful beat and dropping the ridiculous Eminem-female voice (or ‘Feminem’ as I like to call it) I could actually try and pull out some real emotion rather than just trashy pop-rap. Hopefully that’s what you were getting at.
Anyway, that was more feedback than I give most other people. A little self-indulgent maybe. Ah well. I’ll let ya’ll know when I fix some things and we can go through this all over again.
Cheers guys
