Comments on: Giving my ears a break from remixing Satronica. http://www.wiretotheear.com/2008/07/04/giving-my-ears-a-break-from-remixing-satronica/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:21:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: .albert http://www.wiretotheear.com/2008/07/04/giving-my-ears-a-break-from-remixing-satronica/#comment-1454 .albert Sat, 12 Jul 2008 04:52:04 +0000 http://www.wiretotheear.com/?p=762#comment-1454 Nice post. Very cool to see how a remix comes together from start to finish. So often, I hear a new remix and I try and imagine how it would have been put together based only on the finished product -- this usually gets me nowhere. Nice post.

I also never realised you were in Koenig Cylinder, I remember the 99 song from Technohead 1 - so yeh in reference to the old post about discogs being v useful etc. - there's a perfect example :D PPS - sorry I only just realised when I was trawling through discogs (looking up GTO, Technohead, John + Julie etc.) that I realised that the version of Fuckin Hostile that I remember is the ‘Disintegrator’ remix - which discogs tell me is you and John Selway :) - never realised that.

Sometimes when working on a track I get real "funny" about it and won't even let my girlfriend hear it until it's almost totally finished. This can be rather frustrating as I dont want anyone to hear it until it's perfect (in my eyes) but I also really want an opinion sometimes as to what I have created so far. I know it's a pretty wierd complex to have haha! Anyway I agree with the above that if it's for a Lenny dee project the kick should stand out quite a bit more. I am also loving the sound of the saturn but I am quite interested as to how you are going to tame it (compression etc??) in the mix because it is a very overpowering raw sound at the moment, but that gives lots to work with! Keep up the good work mate and good luck with this project! Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the comments. Yeah it is sounding Mentasm especially when three are together and they dip down. I agree about the kick although on my giant speakers its deep in an old school way but to make Matt happy I think I kick with more attack and snap is called for. Hi Raytrace. Thanks for the comments.

I think you just have to leave the PC/Mac for a while or even a day (OMG) when it gets to that stage or I usually play a console game or something which puts me back in the right mood.

I would say the kick is maybe a little too low and same for the snares (IMO), although as you said this is a very early version so you'll probably turn em up eventually. Satronica stuff on their Myspace page is great I really like his remix of Last Caress too. Lenny Dee is teh awesome too, that song on one of the Thunderdome albums that sampled Fuckin Hostile was ace! nice sound from the Saturn, im quite impressed because I thought it would only make TOTALLY mad/glitchy/noisey/unlistenable types of sounds, but that sounds very nice, reminds me of Mentasm/Dominator.
