Fire Burning (Strangely Bright Mix)
 

Hi everyone. I finished my first dance mix from those fabulous acapella tracks that Dreammms was kind enough to post. Let me know what you think. So may I present to you: Fire Burning (Strangely Bright Mix).

mmmkay, I love the beginning. But I love this song. And I love the beginning of this song. So I'll get back to you.
thank you, hella clean. :)

okay, I'm back to you.
hmm, I like that beat, but I think this song, or really, Stevie's voice, needs some kind of plush or soft element in the background. A little tiny bit more note. Some parts sound really good without any "note" though, mainly the "I will, you know" part. That sounds good with just the beat, that whole refrain, all the way through "well I got no more! Information for you!"
That's just my opinion, obv.
Thanks again. I can't wait for this to suprise me on my playlist while I'm doing dishes or something.
Oh, and I like the end, but mainly because sometimes I'm a dancing whore. The repetitive "well there's no fire, etc." is cool, but again, I'd try to incorporate one tiny warm note if I could, to soften/go with Stevie's voice.

My point is, Stevie's new voice isn't especially soft or pretty, so it often needs a bit of padding.

I like it! Good job!!! :thumbsup:

I LOVE IT!!!!! :wavey:

RBS

Everybody's sharing the love, thanks to You Send It.

HEY AND THAT'S GOOD!!! :blob2: :]

Awsome! I love it! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharring! :D

I'm always fascinated by people that do these and am so jealous. :)

Great job!

Thanks...me likes!!

Have fun, tell the world.

Thanks, everyone. I'm glad you like it.

And Richard B, I think Long Way To Go is gonna be next. That one really lends it self to a dance beat, I think. :)

wow, I thought people would really tell you something about it. Sorry I wrote so much, I thought you really wanted to know. Next time I'll go with: "Sounds great, I love it!!!":thumbsup:
keep up the good work.

Very cool...I'm looking forward to it.

I love it because I use this cool remixes to work out to. The faster beat keeps me going and going and going on the treadmill.

I'm no remix expert, but I like this!.. Lots going on in the mix. Thanks!

It's cool Amber, I like all kinds of feedback, thank you. I kept the ending pretty sparse musically because I thought all those lavish background vocals should be highlighted. They make enough music with thier voices that you don't really need too much else musically, just a good beat. Plus, this is a dance mix, so I wanted to keep the energy flowing.

When I jump into Rooms On Fire and Ooh My Love I'll make sure to try and do more with the background music. Those are softer songs too. I just really thought Fire Burning was a sort of tough edged song, so I really pushed for a heavy beat. I think Long Way to Go is going to be hard also, because of it's angry sounding vocal and mean spirited lyrics. I also think Ghosts needs to be very trance and ambient sounding. It's such a beautiful song that I can't see putting a heavy drum track to it.

Thanks MacMan, I remember when I got the remix CD of Cher's Believe and was so disappointed that there was only one good mix out of the eight or so mixes that were on it. Most of them just lazily tacked on the vocal to a really repetitive dance track, often one that didn't even fit with the theme of the song. I like dance and trance but a lot of it is soooo repetitive that it drives me crazy, so all my remixes (and my original compositions) have a lot going on in them. I've done several scores for... um... well, a certain type of movie. Music is a passion for me.

Now if I could get ahold of an acapella of Stand Back. I'd love to do a mash-up of her vocal against the music of Little Red Corvette. ;)

Ah, I see your point! I actually disagree for the same reason. But not about the ending, I was thinking of another part. It is hard edged, and so I wanted a bit of something to de-roughen stevie's vocal (only on a few parts though, I want to make it clear that I thought it was good.:angel: ) so that it blended a bit better.
I like your ideas for the others. I, personally, have a theory that softer more fluid song can take a bit heavier, non melodic beat, but I'm certainly no expert. Not even close, really. :laugh:
I agree about Ghosts, though. :nod:
I can't wait to hear, Long Way to Go is one of my current favorites, along with Fire Burning. Thank you again. :xoxo: Oh, and I think LWTG could easily take a heavy beat.:p
