Back in September 2009, I started to really like the idea of remixing tracks for others and decided to surprise a very good friend of mine by remixing one of his tracks.
WEAK13 creator Nick J Townsend was away on holiday so I ripped one of his tracks from a good old YouTube video and set about extracting his lyrics into smaller samples my music tracker could use.
The hardest part of remixing this track was finding ways to extract the lyrics from the rest of the music – and …yeah… that is a complicated process… there is no single application on a computer to do this for you.
After using many many different applications/plugins/techniques, I finally had the voice of Nick J Townsend (I now prefer to work with vocal stems – seriously!) and set about writing the remix.
People that know me and my previous musical creations will understand that I try to use a piano in every track and WEAK13’s DNA remix was no exception.
I have tried to stay close to the original track as much as I possibly could with this remix as to put a new spin on a classic WEAK13 masterpiece.
