    My REVISED mix of my Remix is significantly better. I honestly didn’t think I had this level of mixing in me. I’m really happy with but I’m nearly as annoyed that my actual competition submission isn’t as great as this. I’m sharing it here anyways: Another Love Song – Remix REVISED MIX https://soundcloud.com/christoffer-bjerklund/christoffer-bjerklund-3?ref=clipboard&p=a&c=1&si=80bf01da11a8483688ae1071c2f4529f&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

    It’s not an attempt at a double submission.

    Yes particularly the first chorus I made a stupid automation line on the vocals that somehow I didn’t listen to because I was so crunched on time. I was so annoyed to see that when I re-opened up the session. I really only cut a little bit surgically on bass and guitar then automated the vocals to get a better mix with much more defined bass as well, and I’m so annoyed that I was 2h or so short on time for that. Am I allowed to make a new post with that mix, or does that disqualify me? I am sure they look at emails for submissions but I want to be 100% sure

    Reply to reply to reply: indeed. I’ve revisioned my remix 5 times. 1st was mainly stupid automation mistake of not loud enough vocals on first refrain, but was overall too time crunched and just lacked optimal processing. Do you know If we’re allowed to submit a revision here? It’s only double submissions via e-mail that can disqualify, isn’t it?

    And you can check mine (gritty and bitter (opposite of yours hehe) heavy rock with slightly bluesier flavoured country on top) if you want, I was among the last minute uploaders were we got very little replies (zero)

    Wow, I’m glad I stumbled upon this. It’s really good, from the ideas to the mix, everythings is where it should be. I suppose you used virtual instruments for this or maybe splice samples or? That part is really impressive for me who thinks it hard enough to make a virtual piano sound this real. Very well done!

    Wow, haha. I’ve been looking for a remix or remixes with more real instruments and this is the best I’ve heard. It’s really hard to beat. I added a measure and changed nearly all chords (retuned a tiny bit of background vocals for a last minute key switch) but strayed not far from ROCK and relied so much on the drums. Yours is nuts in comparison, but it was surpricingly agreeable after a while

    Wow, really solid in this demanding remix idea and performances! You couldn’t have made this much better

    Good idea for a remix and you really pulled it of in the mix. I would maybe expected a little more dynamics in terms of arrangements and taking the listener through a ride but it suits the style you go for. And the intro was sort of the best so it nearly was hard to top it.

    Epic sort of 60s British Blues Rock over Country with hint of SRV/disco (obviously Cat People is my go to for that).

    I like when Country stray into blues so I got going with this arrangement and remix idea quite fast and started shaped up my skills on keys in E-flat but with other projects I unfortunately got a little timecrunched for all of the tracking and especially the comping and mixing.

    I know things that annoy me with takes that I didn’t find for the comping and some automation but going to my comfort zone last minute mmsaved a lot of that. In my dynamic guitar performance of whole fluid takes I sweeped the volume on my dedicated E-flat strat to input my fuzz face and treble booster then stomping on a crybaby to get all the tones as the songs went along and I just freaked out with it all. That saved me on the last day where I thought I was gonna run out of interesting ideas of layering transitioning elements. So here you got my more bitter and and darker and crude E-flat strat and slightly Geezer Butler style bass (and hodes and Piano)-driven Remix!
