Its hard to say/ remember. Set You Free was one of the mashups I actually recorded.
And feel free to elaborate… ok
I started doing all mashups live as when I got my 1st set of decks I had no computer or recording devices.
My 1st taste in what I would start to call a remix was buying a Pioneer standalone CD recorder and a Pioneer Minidisc recorder.
I learned that the MD allowed track positions to be added very accurately (pause it during playback, skip forwards or backwards like 1/32sec at a time and preview before you enter a track position)
This meant I could record the same piece of audio 4 times, edit it into tracks, delete the bits i dont want and have effectively created a seamless loop
Repeat the process for hours with different parts of a song and I had created long instrumental sections.
I would then play this back through the mixer and add an acapella from a turntable
The tracks were the B side remix of Nelly n Kelly – Dilemma and the acapella of P.Diddy – I need a girl (both on a 12").
Im sure I have copy of this somewhere, Ill post it up in the mashup section if I find it.This has made me smile so much remembering doing this, even tho the track was almost un-mixable due to the slight inaccuracies of the loops and the vocals not quite being perfect it still went down surprisingly well where I was playing.
[Edit] Yay, found it on an old CD;

As the title say’s what was the first track that you ever remixed? And feel free to elaborate, why you chose that particular track for instanceFrom memory I believe mine was N-trance’s ‘Set You Free’. I had the single which came with the acapella and it is a good classic track. Today it is still one of my favourite tracks to play around with.[/quote:19k0plzh]
I don’t think that’s in the DB, but I know the pella your talking about. Surprised it ain’t there.

Cheers mate. Don’t know why I didn’t find it before, it was the first thing I ever seen on a CD with ‘acapella’ so had to check for it some time ago. Nay mind.

I’m ok C, don’t want anything embarrassing from my Amiga 600 days putting up.
Besides, the mpeg’s will spludge the tape hiss from the cassettes. Then again, might be a decent topic. You know, show the young ones what had to be done 10 years ago.

[/quote:3mkld2wr]Did you bother to listen to the two tracks I’ve posted? There is nothing spectacular about either of them. I think it’s a cool idea to hear some of the first stuff members have created. It only goes to show how much a person has improved since their infancy into production.
Although anything I create now or in the future will probably sound the same as my earlier stuff. I refuse to grow up.
