ch-check it out remixes

[dirtydan11]

I'm starting this thread for everyone to have a nice, easy place to post all their remixes ie-hoolak, dungeon remix, navyseals, tacozip and anyone else!
TACOZIP WE LOVE YOU!

[landos_dad]

Yeah good idea.

Here's my first draft, but I will have a more finalized version by the end of the week ;)

Ch-Check It Out (Electro Endor Remix) (http://www.thelooplounge.co.uk/hoolak-ch-checkitout.mp3)

I really enjoyed doing this and plan to have a go at remixing another...hmm but which one? :)

Hool

[dirtydan11]

just a draft? yours is my favorite yet and your making a finalized version? Man you rock so well.

[rirv]

Where can I find an acapella of it? And what bpm is it?

Someone provided a link, but now it's gone :(
Bpm is 115 (well that's what I ran with).

Thanks DirtyDan11 ;)

[dirtydan11]

no problem, landos dad. hopefully everyone else will follow suit and post theirs up like you, eh?

[MCA126]

i like it :)

[Andreas]

I would love to get my grimey hands on the acapella. Can anybody locate the link? thanks

[dirtydan11]

[Taco Zip]

TACOZIP WE LOVE YOU!

hey thanks :D

My remix is in progress, i just don't have much time right now.
I hope it's ready next weekend.
In the meanwhile have fun with my old mixes (see my sig)

[MarkedCube]

I'm sure this question has came up a few times, but I'm going to ask it anyways.

What are BPMs? Beats per Minute?

How do you guys find this out? It seems to have to have a effect on the speed of the beats, but not the acapella.

[Auton]

(y) i like your version of Hold it Now Hit it. The Sly loop works really well.

[Taco Zip]

I'm sure this question has came up a few times, but I'm going to ask it anyways.

What are BPMs? Beats per Minute?

How do you guys find this out? It seems to have to have a effect on the speed of the beats, but not the acapella.

The vocals are in the same tempo as the beat is. That makes the bpm rate of the acapella the same as the bpm rate of the beat.

How we find it out? The way i do it is by adjusting the tempo of the beat to the tempo of the acapella.
Acid pro then happenes to show you the bpm rate.


And thank you Auton (y)

[landos_dad]

You can also count how many beats there are in 10 seconds and then multiply your result by 6 ;)

Or throw a bar in Pro Tools and do a "Beat Identify"

Or play the track on a Walkman and see how many steps you have walked by the time the track is over, walk back home, tip your computer keyboard upside down and count how many crumbs fall out... multiply that number 34.2. Repeat until sectioned.

:)

[MarkedCube]

Thanks for the response Taco and thanks for funny response landos and I also give thanks for inspiration as you'll need it in remixing. I'll give remixing a shot.

[nobbus]

heres mine, yo: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/navysealsmusic.htm

[Auton]

I liked yours, Nobbus, but sometimes the stretched out accapella was a little distracting. The beat's really cool though.

Acid 4.0?

[nobbus]

made the beat in fruityloops and put the mix together in acid 4.

[landos_dad]

Yeah, nice beat and moody pads. Agree about the time pitch speed being a little uneasy.
Nice work

[jimmyjrg]

Where can I find an acapella of it? And what bpm is it?
Do you use MSN Messanger? I could give you it.

[Jiberish]

My shitty sampler, the Boss Dr.Sample Sp-202 has a 'tap' button. If you want to find out a BMP rate, tap the button along with the beat. After 4 taps it estimates the bpm for you.

My not-so-shitty-but-not-great drum machine, the Boss Dr.Rythm 770, allows you to change the bpm (or tempo) to whatever setting you need.

[King of Rock]

why the fuck when I mix it it says the bpm is 87. something. Doesn't really matter though

landos remix is really really good. my remix is at www.soundclick.com/dubbya

[landos_dad]

Thanks for the comments guys... some nice and interestin mixes here ;)

Ladies n Gentleman... the final mix (or I'm stopping now b4 I kill it :D)

Ch-Check It Out (Electro-Endor remix) .mp3 (http://www.thelooplounge.co.uk/hoolak-ch-checkitout.mp3)

Hope you like!

Hool

[dirtydan11]

Lando's Dad! Oh my sweet Jesus! This belongs on the single no joking!! :)
I lost it when the sirens kicked in. I just took a trip to Cloud city. Your son, Lando must be proud. Hands down----THE BEST (y) (y)

[Rodie]

Landos Dad that is one kick ass remix! I especially like the echoing of the vocals (y)

[landos_dad]

Sadly, that good for nuthin' son of mine lost our penthouse suite in a game of Chance...I now reside in the Cloud City Slums, but y'know...it's quite hip here.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed my mix... got a few ewoks doing the side-to-side to it here (fast). :D

Hool

[dirtydan11]

haha so when's your next mix gonna surface!
"It's not the leaving of Cloud city that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee" (reference to liverpool) ;)

[landos_dad]

"It's not the leaving of Cloud city that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee" (reference to liverpool) ;)

Sorry, I don't follow ur reference to Liverpool lol

My next mix? hmmm not sure which track to do. Big fan of Remote Control, but I don't have an acapella. We'll see :)

[dirtydan11]

hey lando sr. it's actually an old irish song "the leaving of Liverpool" I thought you would know it for some reason :rolleyes: Shane MacGowan and the Pogues sang it too. Remote Control? that would be nice.

[Nygel]

i need the acapella

[rirv]

http://www.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=...6B2BBEDACB6C8D6

[rirv]

Minton oughta send these remixes to the Beastie Boys and then they can choose one to put on the single. They'd probably choose mine ;)

[dirtydan11]

come on ppl wheres all the new remixes!?!?! If anyone wants to battle Tacozip his mix should be ready by this weekend... (lb)

[DJ_Skrilla]

I've got the EXPLICIT ACAPELLA version. I need someone to host it up.. Also got da instrumental too which is interesting as well.

[dirtydan11]

hey dj skrilla! you really should find someone to host the explicit a capella. I don't think anyone will be pissed off about that now. Somebody please do the right thing! Hopefully in time for Tacozip this weekend (and for Lando's dad who is sure to do battle).

[Nygel]

1. hosting an acapella shouldn't get you in trouble. so host it. now, i want it.

2. taco zip has alot of other, more important things to do so it'll be a week or so. he takes his time and it shows. always a good job on his part. and of caurse my favorite, uru-nitro should be remixing when he gets backs.

[rirv]

how long does it take you suckers to make your remixes? I usually just sit down and knock it out in 2-3 hours. sounds like you all labour over them for weeks.

[landos_dad]

Mine in all honesty took a day. Some in the afternoon and some in the evening. Glad you think it may of took ages ;)
But that's only cos the original hook idea just help it all flow. It does depend.

[Nygel]

ok, alot of the time people take a while. i take a day or so and then just fuck around with it after that. that link is expired so no acapella for me. i have no acapellas. so fuck. you all.

and landos. i haven't heard yours....actually, i've never heard of you

[landos_dad]

Oh dear, are you gettin' rowdy? why so hostile? I ain't too bothered you haven't heard of me.... erm... yeah you should listen to my remix tho. I'd like some feedback. Sorry for being quite new here. Only been a fan since the 80s like.

[Nygel]

well landos, i don't mean to be hostile. if you have msn messanger you could send it through that. for some reason its faster than a site. if ya don't then you could give me a link. i use to remix.

[Cochese]

Peace Lando.

Yours is my favorite so far. I'm new here too, but I've been a Beastie Fan for as long myself. I mean I am 32 and all...but anyway...keep up the shiz cause I digs.

[Uru-Nitro]

uru-nitro should be remixing when he gets backs.
:D
i'm not at home yet but I've created a loop that could fit the song well.
however I'm "finishing" the remix of other song that has never been remixed. chcheck it out it's too overmixed now, so I'm not worried for release a mix soon.
keep remixing and cya tomorrow

and btw, now some people are talking about how long takes to do a remix: the copy&paste remixes could take 20-30 minutes.
the great remixes that can be listened 100 times without boring could take several days/weeks.

[balohna]

a portion of the openning scratch in the Anthology version of 3 MCs and 1 DJ sounds a lot like the loop in CCIO, someone should substitute it and add a heavier beat that goes at the same pace, and maybe throw in some vocal samples.

I would do it but I don't know how

[Taco Zip]

:D

You're right. sometimes they are finished in a matter of hours but sometimes it takes way longer.
The AV megamix took me a few weeks to finish.

[Uru-Nitro]

The AV megamix took me a few weeks to finish.
and it has been downloaded up than 1000 times... no coincidence! (y)

[Taco Zip]

and it has been downloaded up than 1000 times... no coincidence! (y)

Just recounted. 1292 downloads. :cool:

[landos_dad]

Just listened to your remixes, Uru-Nitro. Most impressive. Really liked Body Movin' one :)
Taco your SureShot mix is da bomb, mate :D

Totally agree, that it just depends on how long a remix can take. Depends if the ideas you have any good or even coming to you. When I making my own music it could take forever or could take a day. I have project files here that still haven't progressed from one bar. :D

[MarkedCube]

Check it out has been overmixed already, too bad there really isn't a great remix. The only one I liked so far was landos_dad's version. Is this is your first remix landos_dad? If so, its a great start keep it up. Its good that there is one thread for the remixes, great idea. Its good to keep it original, I heard the Beastie's beats hundreds of times already and its good to keep it fresh. I'm in the middle of a remix right now, its still a long way from being completed.

Thanks MarkedCube, yeah it's my first remix. Although I'm not new to having a blast at making some music (see my site link) :) Thoroughly enjoyed doing it :D

Look forward to hearing more and future acapellas.

[dirtydan11]

Lando's dads' remix is sounding better to me than the original lately :)
I recently burned it and have been bumping it on the way to work! Let's keep this thread at the top, friends (lb)

[landos_dad]

Thanks DirtyDan ;)

How's this version grab yers? :D Ch-check it Out (Ch-chicken Out mix) .mp3 (http://www.thelooplounge.co.uk/hoolak-ch-chicken_out-remix.mp3)

Hoolak (aka Lando's Dad)

Hope you like!

Hool


i more than (y) liked it!

[Lex Diamonds]

i more than (y) liked it!
Me too... I like what you did to the vocals. It sounds more IC style.

[DJ_Skrilla]

I think JIMMYJRG should host it (explicit acapella) on his site. He already has spam acapella up there. I will send it to whoever wants to host it. PM me with contact info.

Skrilla187ho on AIM.

peace

[landos_dad]

Me too... I like what you did to the vocals. It sounds more IC style.

Thanks. Yeah, I love that Ill Communication distorted style vocal effect. I remember back then I loved the sound yet most of the time I couldn't understand what was being rapped :D But it was still really cool sounding.

[dirtydan11]

Hey Hoolak! I love this one too. You make the song sound so hardcore! Could you please redo it with the explicit lyrics when you get them? PLEASE?
It would just fit the ch-chicken mix better don't you agree?

[MarkedCube]

Thanks. Yeah, I love that Ill Communication distorted style vocal effect. I remember back then I loved the sound yet most of the time I couldn't understand what was being rapped :D But it was still really cool sounding.

Thats how I was when I first got it, thats good they included the lyrics. Another good remix by the way (y) and another (y) for the first.

[~Disco Breakin~]

Need some help via PM from remix masters for this newbie question.

Just to check out the tempo i put a click on 2 and 4 over the a capella on Acid but found that it slowly began to drag... any help? First attempt at a remix but I have some good hook ideas so any help would be ... helpful.

Glenn

[landos_dad]

@DiscoBreakin: PM'd you mate.

Yeah DirtyDan, I like the moody edge...would benefit from harsher version. Thanks fellas for feedback.

peace
I'll have to get a new host for my audio because my current audio hosts info is only on my other PC which is still fucked (thus the lack of updates to my website in the last few weeks)

[dirtydan11]

why haven't there been any new remixes or mash-ups?

[bb_bboy]

I've got one I want to post but am having trouble finding a good, free, hassle-free host. I am anxious.

[dirtydan11]

I've finally gotten the explicit a cappela :)
If anyone wants it PM me ;)

[nobbus]

I have one more. I posted this in another thread but I guess it should be posted here.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/navysealsmusic.htm

'seaside bootleg remix'

more of a "mash up" than a remix. its ch-check it out VS Jolz - seaside serenade. plus more.

[landos_dad]

and I reacted with Ch-check it Out (See Myself Get Fly remix) .mp3 (http://www.thelooplounge.co.uk/hoolak-ch-checkitout_see_myself_get_fly_mix.mp3)

In case you missed it :D

[dirtydan11]

I think the mash up thread was a good idea. I guess I'm just rushing everyone for the next mixes! :o

[Cochese]

Lando's Dad is just a gawdamned wizard. That shit is awesome.

[jimmyjrg]

http://www.musicfanclubs.org/beastieboys/Audio
If Beastieboys.com would rather I removed this link then they can tell me and I will remove it myself.

I was thinking that I wouldn't host it because there's a HQ version coming from Beastieboys.com but considering the quality of the mixes already done I don't think it matters.

Enjoy

[groovemerchant]

landos dad kicks ass. nice job man.

bad link (!) what's the dilly, billy?

[dirtydan11]

We're waiting patiently, Tacozip ;)

[beastie fresh]

Nice stuff in here.. should be stickied (lb)

[danfly100]

This is my first post, but I've been doing remixes for years with Cool Edit Pro. I'll post this one, and once I find my older ones I'll post them elsewhere.

I hope my server won't crap out on me. Sorry if it does.
