    @thetransposedheads Interestingly, the background “vocal tunes” are literally just the BG1 and BG2 from the original tracks. I didn’t actually tune anything, but just turned them up in the mix. In the “topical vibe” I was going for, the harmonies sounded cool and fit the mix well. And they were obviously amazingly well sung and produced already. While I did put some mild effects on the Lead vocals (delay, reverb, etc) to fit the vibe, the Background vocals are literally dry and only panned 10:00 and 2:00. I did nothing else to them – shows how well they were done.

    @G-Doggy – Thanks. Glad you liked it. Fun to play around with it and change genres. Also fun to see all the different things people did in their remixes with the same original tracks. It means the song itself has good “bones”. Would sound good with just an acoustic guitar and vocals.

    Kind of funnny – I listened to the remix and felt like I was back in the 80s (and I mean that in a good way – this is a great remix and captured the 80s vibe) and was going to make a comment about James Dupre wearing some neon and shoulder pads. As I scrolled down to leave a comment, saw that others beat me to the idea. Nice remix.

    Love the EDM vibe. Felt like I was back at Ultra Miami. Interestingly, I also went “EDM” for my mix, but went for more of a Kygo/Tropical feel as opposed to this, which “feels” like Avicii. Great remix.

    Thanks again for the comments. Like probably everyone on here, there are some things that I would go back and fix as you mentioned. To be honest, it was a little rushed. I turned it in literally 5 minutes before the deadline. I’d worked on it 2-1/2 hours that night and 2-3 hours the night before – including writing all the instrumentation, rearranging things, mixing, mastering, etc. My “real” job is an orthopedic surgeon so I only squeeze in music here and there when I can, and in this case, I started everything the day before the deadline. It was still fun.

    Nice mix. I like the contrast in energy between the different sections, not just based on loudness but mix choices. Helps keep it interesting and moving along. Cheers.

    Thanks for the comments. Agreed that there are some artifacts with changing the tempo on the vocals, but I accepted them to get the “tropical house” feel. The backing track is all basically various synths (except for sampled drums – which are triggers in NI Battery), so couldn’t really change the fidelity of them. It is a pretty sparse and open arrangement, but again, that was a stylistic choice for this particular thing.

    Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It was pretty fun to work on, and it’s been cool to see all the different interpretations of the song on here.
    Cheers.

    Like the different take on it. I always like hearing remixes that reinterpret songs on different styles (mine was a slowed down 108 bpm tropical house EDM remix). Nice job.

    Also kept the Kick sample only to use in the remix. Didn’t actually keep any other drums from the original tracks but used other samples for all the percussion. All of the other instruments use Native Instruments plugins, including Massive X, Kontakt, etc., except for the claps, which use a plugin called El Clapo.

    Changed BPM to 112 for a more “chill” vibe
    Kept: Vocals, Slide, Banjo, Organ, EG1
    Rewrote everything else using various bits Tropical House instrumentation

    The YouTube video is a movie of the Logic Pro project tracks if you’re interested in the arrangement.
