Well I know last post I said I was going to wait awhile before launching a new beatcast but I worked last night and today on a remix of one of my earlier pieces I posted here called Short of Clothes with dialog samples from Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and some juvenile delinquent film with William Shatner whose name I totally forget now. I was never too happy with the earlier mix. I felt it was too flat and not heavy enough for my liking. I also was learning how to do the dialog samples then I feel I over did it. I always like the guitar riff and bass line I patched together with Sony Acid 6. Anyone who has worked with software like his may know what I am talking about. The riffs you hear did not come as a ready to use loop but I used the ‘chopper’ application and took out small section from longer loops and put them together and it came out okay. I cannot hear the ‘seams’ at all the way I could on some earlier experiments. On this new mix I added a thick techno drum loop to fill in the empty spaces and reworked some of the dialog samples, places them on the beat a little better and panning them left and right a little more in certain areas. Sounds cool on head phones. I also added some echo to some of the voice samples and not sure about it in all areas but the piece sounds better than before. To hear the original and compare just go to my podcast/beatcast page, in my sidebar, click on the hip looking banner, and check it out. I think this is much better. May be remixing another early piece called That’s All I Need! as I never liked the final result too much either but it has some potential.
