Ch-Check it Out (Chaos Neutral mix)

[The Timmy]

well, I gave it a try and thought I'd post it here for some feed back and cretique (spelling?).

This one's a little on the happy side. It was originally it's own track, but I always felt something was missing. So I tried putting the acapella over it and it worked out great (methinks).

If it turns out people like what I did with it and I'm encouraged, I may give this track a more serious go at it. So let me know what ya think!

Thanx

Hey I couldn't get this file, is the link right?

[The Timmy]

hmm... seems to be working for me. I know that explorer tries to block it depending on which updates you have.

[BroomHead]

No, No. It isn't working. I have explorer, and it's trying to open your file in Quicktime, which always works for me. But it can't open. Check your link again, I'd really like to listen to it.

[The Timmy]

try right-clicking on the link, and chose "Save target as..." the server could just be being dumb again.. I know sometimes it'll wanna open the mp3 as a page and stuff.

I got it to work. What you need to do is:

-Right Click on Timmy's link and click Copy Shortcut
-Open Windows Media Player
-Click File
-Click Open URL
-Paste Timmy's link into the address bar :)

(You can probably do this with Macs too but with ?Quickplayer? (is that what Macintosh uses?)

Feedback:

This type of music isn't exactly my taste but I think you did a good job. It reminds of the Hamster Dance in a way, yet, I'm not annoyed by it. I like how you messed around with Mike's first few lines.

"I said doc, what's the condiiiition?" LOL

I know you used the JustBlaze version, but did you stick some of the original Acapella in there? I'm trying to tell what's from what here. Anyway, though I can't say I like the technoey feel, I gotta say you did a good job as far as the technical stuff goes, mastering, layering etc. And I also like how the main synth line sorta fades in and out throughout. You know what I mean?

I'll just say I like it, but there's gotta be someone else who'll appreciate it more. And since I went to all the trouble posting the instructions above, I hope to see more people posting feedback. :D After all the Remix thread is kinda dying.

[The Timmy]

Hey, thanx a bunch!

To answer your question, I used the Just Blaze version at the begining, then went to the original a capella at around 00:42.

I'm glad someone here finally got it to work.

I'm still wondering what's up with it though. It's just a direct link to a file sitting on a server. Ah well, as long as it works now.

thanks again for the feedback..
