    Hello!

    Here is my submission for the James Dupre Another Love Song Mix Contest. I made some production changes to the song that may or may not fall into Remix category, but since I didn’t record any new instruments I think it’s still a Mix submission–I guess it will be up to the judges to decide.:) My changes were:
    – changed the intro to an old-timey radio style stripped down intro of James and the banjo (can picture the video of him sittin’ on the porch, heh)
    – this intro change also made the band kicking in hit a little harder.
    – made the transition from Verse 1 to Chorus 1 hit better with a more impactful drum fill.
    – repeated the drums from Verse 1 for Verse 2 and let everything else build more energy, rather than the drums changing which felt more rushed.
    – added the “from my point of view” line to the start of the breakdown
    – extended the breakdown to not kick right back into the chorus build up again.
    – added the 4-on-the-floor beat to build the energy back up into the chorus (get the crowd clapping their hands in a live situation)
    – also had the instruments come back in stages to build back up.
    – hit the “swell” hard :)

    Thanks! Glad you were able to hear it before it got wiped out on Soundcloud… WTF?? My whole profile seems to have been removed now! Grrr…

    I’m not sure how to edit my original post, but here’s a Google Drive link to hold things over until I can possibly get my Soundcloud account re-instated… or get a YouTube upload figured out.

    Hey hey! My Soundcloud account got re-instated! Apparently it was “mistakenly detected as spam and, as a result, suspended from [the] platform.” Who knew uploading one track would set it off lol. Now, since I can’t edit my previous posts on this *lovely* forum, I have three ways to listen to my track! LOL I think I’ll just go with YouTube next time since I figured out how to create and upload a video for the first time heh.

    You had a lot of good ideas, very creative! The instrumental balance is very good, I’d only wish for a little bit more low-end (just for my personal taste). ;-)

    Good luck to you.

    Thanks for the listen and comment @rentaroot. Yeah, low end is always that fine line between too much and too little it seems–hard to hit “goldilocks” for everyone. :)

    You’re absolutely right… it’s always a fight!

    Won’t argue,wether this is a mix or remix. It is just a good take on the song! Good luck!

    Deadline date has come and gone. Now we impatiently wait for the results! I wonder how long it will take for the winners to be announced–I don’t think they’ve even mentioned a date for that this time? (they usually miss it anyway, lol)
