Re: Outta Yo Sprites

I know what you mean, I can't stand dubstep so when I listened to this after I commented I was like... Oh.

Re: Outta Yo Sprites

I'll be the first person to say something bad; So what exactly did you do here other than play two songs together with a bit of repeating? I don't really hear any original material. It's a good mashup, no lie, but there's like, no user generated material. It's more like DJing than anything. Once again, however, well done mash. I guess it's alright. Same type of stuff Girl Talk does, and I like some of his (older) work.

I'll tell you right now, this is not just your everyday mashup, or something that a DJ can do on the fly by beatmatching.

I did tons of remixing, cutting, editing, looping, sampling, envelope automation, EQing, sidechaining, compression, mastering, etc.

I do agree that this, in essence, is a mashup, but several hours did go into fine-tuning this track. I just think it's funny when 1 out of 200 people write me saying, "Well what did YOU do." Thinking that if I didn't create a new synth or drum pattern, then I didn't do anything. haha

Bottom line, I'm glad the non-cynical people are enjoying the track, and I've been getting messages left and write from DJ's around the world excited to drop this track at their next big event.

Re: Outta Yo Sprites

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, and I suppose, seal of approval haha

As with any of my tracks, I give my permission to let this track be used in FFR as well.

I doubt you are able to give permission, seeing as remix permissions and copyright law works.

Skrillex, whose song is the base of the track, I doubt would complain - I might even ask Sonny for blanket permission but Mr. Lil Jon is a different story.

Sick remix/mashup btw man

Re: Outta Yo Sprites

Actually, as a law student, with how copyright laws work, especially when remixed works for non-commercial use are concerned, yes, I give permission for this track to be used in FFR. ...You telling me everyone of those remixes in the arcade genre have written permission by Sega and it's original song-writers? lol

Besides, the the network of connections I've established over the years as a DJ and promoter, it's one easy e-mail from me to Sonny to get the blanket permission anyways.

Glad you like the track though

I would encourage you to do so, otherwise I might have to

Also didn't know you still are able to give permission even tough - as said earlier - you didn't add any new components to the mix, which most songs in arcade DID do.
Thanks for the clarification.

Not true. This is completely feasible LIVE with Ableton. Just timestretch the Lil Jon vocals to match the tempo, and you've pretty much got it.

I did tons of remixing, cutting, editing, looping, sampling, envelope automation, EQing, sidechaining, compression, mastering, etc.

I only hear the 4th, 6th, 7th, and 10th on that list. Didn't hear any cutting/editing/remixing/sampling. Especially sampling. You did not do a single lick of sampling.

I just think it's funny when 1 out of 200 people write me saying, "Well what did YOU do." Thinking that if I didn't create a new synth or drum pattern, then I didn't do anything. haha

Way to take everything I said out of context. I didn't say you didn't do anything. I merely asked if you used any original material? Which you didn't. You also didn't really use any inventive methods of editing the two tracks. You looped the 4 bar vocal from Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, and did a volume fade on it at :28. Then brought it back in at :54. You did the same thing at 3:22. You didn't make anything. You contributed no artistic value to this.

Bottom line, I'm glad the non-cynical people are enjoying the track, and I've been getting messages left and write from DJ's around the world excited to drop this track at their next big event.

And then you call me a cynic. I'm not a cynic. I'm an electronic musician who is bored by this. I don't see why people are going crazy over this. Also, I HIGHLY doubt that last part.


That's all I'm contributing to this thread.

...No. But you're right, you're not being cynical in this thread AT ALL.

JakeyJake. I'm glad that's all you're contributing to this thread, because really, you aren't contributing anything. Let's see how long that lasts.

Re: Outta Yo Sprites

I don't know why everyone's being an ass to jakeyjake. After all he did say it was a good mashup. Heaven for-****ing-bid somebody states their opinion, right?

Ok, THIS

THIS RIGHT HERE

This offends me.

Pat, he offered criticism on the song. Yes, I know you didn't like it, but there is NO way his point should not be respected. I don't care if you think he's 100% wrong, calling a solid criticism as not being a contribution is downright foolish.

This is a forum for musicians to give and get criticism, not to be shot down for speaking their mind. I had a scenario where I was shot down like that on this forum once and you'll be damn sure I'll NEVER let it happen again.
