This is my friend Adam's entry:

I think its really good. =)

I liked the part 0:00 - 2:56

maybe because I've been remixing for almost a decade I am bias, but I think people should pay more attention to entries like these instead of whatever has power chords/almost resembles old LP. The remix that Mike really liked is NOWHERE near is popular. The stuff that Mike really was looking forward to hearing is kinda...not there or being outshined

Regarding the rules; I think I'm okay because the vocal enhancements it was referring to referred to personal assets, rather than the stems. I mean, people are changing things like EQ and reverb on the stem vocals so pitch-shifting is just another effect in that sense, if you see what I mean.

Anyway thanks for the feedback

This is completely mind-blowing. Great job, Alex! I wish the real song will turn out in this direction

Since posting my remix just before Alex was a little unfortunate, I'm giving it another shot:

http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/22103

wow, thats on the same level as epic as Alex's

2:03 is killing it. Awesome remix as well

zwieR.Z., you got my vote man, since the beginning, but I also had to vote for my man Alex! No hard feelings man.

Project name: Switchface
Age: 25

Here's my take on it. Some of you have heard the previous version. This is the improved one. I changed the overall tone ('cuz it sounded a bit out of tune) and I messed up a bit with the initial beat sequences. Apart from that everything was left as it was. In case you didn't hear the previous version, there's some synth / industrial touches here and there and the piano give a slight futuristic feel to it.

Hope you like it, guys! And of course don't forget to vote if you enjoyed this little mix

Thank you guys

Nook - good job, I love the drums!

zwieR.Z. - good job man, it sounds great!

Nook - yours too, I like the industrial feel.

I'm digging the friendly competition. It really shows just how mature the LP community can be

Thanks, your version kicks ass as well! VERY original.

GigaScythe:

Well, thanks a bunch. Really enjoyed what you did with your remix. A nice job with the vocal pitch-shifting, which, I think, added a different twist, dimension (call it as you like) to the original.

zwieR.Z:
Thanks again, buddy. As far your mix goes, great job again. A nice idea with this guitar-wall pattern. Overall your version sounded to me like some sort of symphonic-metal track. I dig the piano melodies. Especially in the end A jumpy-folky kinda thing What I didn't like, though, was the lack of power / kick / room in the drum section. Apart from that, pretty good take on the track

There is in my version but I played it in myself Wait for the end!

Anyone can help me? When I click on the submission link, it always redirect to http://www.indabamusic.com/featured_programs

Just want to remind everyone to post into our most recent competition topic if you want to take part in the LPL contest, open for everyone who cant take part in the official contest!

What's a good remix software? Aside from FL studio

I've got a good idea for a remix, and i basically want to play around w/it even if i cant enter. What programs do the pros use? Please note that i know no real remixes, so i'll just be using the seeds and effects and maybe virtual instruments

Wow, the contest is turning out very well....I've seen about 30 versions of "The Catalyst" which could be professional work, either here or on Youtube. You guys have talent

ZwierR.Z. and Alex -> my favorite LPL remixs..."amazingly" good

@GigaScythe


Alex, my friend, you have talent. Can't wait to hear In Coma ;p

that was pretty good

thank you

Hey GigaScythe, is there any way I can hear your mix if I'm not in the US or any of the other eligible countries? That site wont allow me, either directly or from your myspace page.

yeah i can't listen to them either, i really want to heal Alex's remix

I would just like to inform people that if you vote for Rocky Palos' remix submission you will help save abandoned puppies, starving children in poor countries, and you will create new jobs in the North American economy. Because Rocky wants change, and that change is to not focus on nu-metal, not to focus on the remixes you feel you can rock out to, but focus on....uh....mine, I guess.

I tried *shrugs*

Didn't know the winner will recieve some money as well oO

Hi, Im Oldschool LP fan, so I did Reanimation-style remix
Music video included.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fuRLkYL11o

im sorry. but im sick of this. alex, sorry, but your mix isnt good. your other shit is pretty cool, for the most part. but your catalyst remix has terrible background chords, off-time vocals, and doesnt flow well at all. and stop cheating with fake e-mail accounts, its ridiculous. there is no way you can top 200,000 friends on myspace voting for us (which you don't have). it's making this contest lame to not see who the real winners are with all these little teenagers voting for themselves and getting their friends to make fake e-mails too.

if you want to hear a real mix, where there is no bs, just creativity, and passion...then listen to ours and vote for it if you dig it. if not vote for someone else. just hope you enjoy it.

oh and f*ck the rules of the contest. WE DONT CARE!

thank you.

<3

OMG!! What was that?? Agreed your mix is good but PLEASE STOP promoting & speaking so highly of yourself in every post you make.

How was that speaking highly of ourselves...we were a huge band that broke up and is getting back together under a different name. LoL we have so many people backing us legitimately instead of fake voting for ourselves. We have huge myspaces and promotion companies telling our fans and their's to vote for us...but this little english kid and these tehcno remixing weirdos keep pulling ahead of us? If that's not rigged...I don't know what is. It would be nice to have a fair contest where anything goes. Sorry we thought the most outside the box and didn't put breakdowns throughout the whole song, or make it dubstep or techno, and actually made a melody with VOCALS ON TIME! OMG YOU CAN PUT VOCALS ON TIME!?!?!? That's unheard of...in this contest at least.

Love you too. bye.



And better still...what is your signature? (that would be a better question)

rofl...looks like some retard scribbled a sharpie in blood.

oh.. um just... WTF???

you've already been warned about double posting. I've private messaged you about it. Plus you are way out of line in your posts sir. You are entitled to your opinion but you are just down putting alex now. Which isnt fair what has he done to you?

DangerSilent:
Gosh, it's just a contest, so chill. Your life ain't gonna end if you end up second (my mix is somewhere around 30th spot and I'm not whining). This rant against Alex's mix is just beyond me. But if you have some pieces of evidence that he's faking, then show it to everyone. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Also:



What makes you better than dubstep or techno guys? The fact of being a rock band doesn't make you any better. Music is music. No better or worse, but different. Variety of entries in this contest is what makes it awesome.

And less seriously:



So...? I have an elephant and two cats.

(@staff: sorry, but I just couldn't resist it)

Alex's remix has by far blown away everything else, in my opinion. And if that's what other people think too he deserves to win, and that's that.

Man...I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but what you're writing here is just sh*t. In a contest, you have to accept to loose. It seems like you are considering yourself the best band of all-time, and like you were sure to win the prize. Now that it isn't the case, you are putting down other contenders, when still promoting your music. It's just bad. Dude, I think you have to learn 2 things really important in life:

-modesty/humility

-fairplay

Anyway, even if I liked you remix, I think Alex's one is way way way better. No lying, no favoritism, only my opinion.

this

I agree. I might have voted for them until I saw that little temper tantrum.

Dude, spamming with links to your remix was pretty lame, but THAT is just pathetic. Look how many subscribers Alex has on YouTube - 11936. And you? 75. Still can't belive that he has more votes than you?
Both of you did a very good job but now I hope that you won't win, because it seems like you're a horrible person.

lol you guys are funny. re-read the post, i say we put all our passion and effort into it. we use chord structures that made sense...and the vocals ARE ON TIME! his mix, the vocals aren't even on time, the mix sounds terrible, and didn't really do anything creative. but it's whatever. i was making a point that it's funny with somewhere around 1,000 votes...these little kids are still coming back and winning with self-promotion by changing their e-mails and using bots. i agree with what someone said on the actual lp forums...they need to use the stormcloud way for contests where people can't cheat.

it's just lame. if you like that better, that's your opinion. but u have a few members of different bands, and producers in a studio right now watching me type this, that have listened to all these different remixes...laughing, at how idiotic the world can be, and how blind they can be to good music. i like ALL kinds of music. but they said they wanted it to be like LINKIN PARK and be catchy, and give your own creative edge to it...they did not say make it a hiphop or techno song. they want a real live mainstream song. thats what we did, and i put a lot of effort into those vocals, and it was great doing it.

i could give a crap less about winning. i just think you need wake up and listen to good music. if you love linkin park so much, how can let someone make a mockery of it??

i'm a terrible person? i make music for people who want to have better lives...to help people strive to be better people...not to shit on people's music lol. for instance, stop people from killing themselves. go listen to our music, and lyrics, you'll understand. and as for his subscribers....um...check our myspace, we have over 22,000 on ours, and Jambonie, who is backing us and promoting has way over 100,000 friends on theirs...plus i just deleted my myspace with over 3 million friends. so dont give me that. i know how online promoting works better than most. i also can detect e-mail phishers and when someone is using bots. if you want, i'll ip trace him to get his e-mails he is using...

and sorry about the double post, that was my bad..forgot to edit. won't happen again =X

DangerSilent, quit the bitching.

You guys both have damn cool songs that are getting plenty of commercial appeal so just stfu, really.
And stop complaining about how many votes Alex (GigaScythe) is getting since all the fanboys change their emails to vote again.
Voting doesn't mean shit for this competition, it only helps. Them "Lincoln Boys" get the final say.


Didn't mean to come off as an ass.

One thing - YouTube subscribers really want to hear you music and MySpace friends not necessarily.

Cheers you guys
