My Numb Remix

#1 Post by djandyman »

I was testing out Garageband with my new Macbook Pro.... Heres the result:

[URL Removed]

File Info: MP3, 160kbps, stereo (none of that joint stereo shit), 4.4Mb, 3:45

Would love to hear some comments (either here on in a PM)

:D

Be nice if someone put a fast 4/4 beat to it. :D

I liked what you did with the chord changes how you sort of changed them yet still kept the song the way it is.

actually thats how I did mine. its a pretty fast upbeat version with new instruments and used all of neils vocals I just used an audio program to stretch neils vocals so it speeds up his vocals without giving it the chipmunk sound.

proffesionals use better programs that dont leave so many artifacts in the audio file but hey. its free. anyone else want to hear it PM me.

Well done Andy :up:
In fact I like it way better than the actual radio edit!

The song is very difficult to remix. A 4/4 dance beat like someone suggested is difficult, since the song is more or less a waltz.

Fantastic mate, just needs a crescendo moment or 2.

Really well done, nice to get a different version not too far away from the original. Please keep us posted if you do any more versions. :up:

Yeah, its in 6/8 time (technically a waltz is in 3/4, but I'm not being picky or anything) and fairly slow. The last song I remember that the boys did in 6/8 time was Can you forgive her?, that was twice as fast (which, in my opinion, is easier to remix into a 4/4 track)...

I really enjoyed that. I knew Numb had the potential for a really nice ambient mix and I'm surprised Neil and Chris didn't go down that route themselves.

Like dTVB said, I think it's far superior to the radio edit.

I think CYFG technically is in 12/8 time. But that's being picky. Nice Numb mix.

I couldn't believe when i saw complements on a thread about a Numb remix.
Ok, ok... it's a downtempo remix, which can explain it all. :wink:

Anyway your remixes is really weel done! It could be a second demo version.

Thanks a lot! :D
