hahninator Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Straight from LPA, Steve Aoki has partnered with Wavo.Me and Ultra Music to host a remix contest for Darker Than Blood. The competition ends on the 30th of June. "Wavo and Ultra Music are calling upon all budding producers from all genres! Here's your chance to turn this track into your own beast of a track, so make sure it's a unique take on it! Whether it’s disco, drowned-out trap, drum and bass, or high-energy electro, whatever you want! Don’t be afraid to step outside the box. Push yourself." Prizes include an official release on Ultra Musix, a Steve Aoki merchandise pack, a premiere on Dancing Astronaut, and a lifetime Wave Pro membership. What this means for us non-remixers is that the stems of the songs are now available to download. You have to link up Spotify and Facebook and register a trial version of Wave.me, so just grab the stems in a much easier method here. Thanks to LPA for the heads up and the download link.

GlassCastles Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) There's some pretty cool stuff hidden in here. Nice to have! God damn, I love Mike's isolated vocals from this song.

Tyleronlplive Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Calling it now, there will be a decent amount of DTB/ALTNC mashups. I'll check it out because it would be fun to hear a rock remix of DTB.

[AndOne] Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The vocal tracks seem absolutely terrible to me, completely butchered by all kinds of vocals effects that totally ruin it. The beat is pretty much embedded into the vocals, you can't tell me that's good for remixing.

RogueSoul Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Where the fuck does the electric guitar part come from? lmao Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/11740-darker-than-blood-remix-contest/#findComment-252377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassCastles Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Where the fuck does the electric guitar part come from? lmao I'm guessing the end of the song somewhere buried in the mix. I don't see where else it could be. Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/11740-darker-than-blood-remix-contest/#findComment-252380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Speaking of hidden guitar, for whatever reason, ALTNC has acoustic guitar randomly in it - there's no way you can tell me anyone can actually hear that in the song or that it adds anything to it. I know the band layered millions of stems of shit on Meteora but damn, ALTNC acoustic guitar is literally nonexistent in the mix lol. And it also has that guitar from What I've Done at the end of it. Odd. The only thing that could have been worse on ALTNC is if that vocoder vocal part was actually prominent in the mix. Still, I dislike that song a lot. Glad it was dropped from the live show. Downloading the Darker Than Blood stems now...

RogueSoul Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The ALTNC acoustic guitar is in the breakdown, I think. You really need to be listening for it really intently to hear it at all.

Tyleronlplive Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) ALTNC acoustic gtr is in the "quiet" part of the bridge right after Mike does his "And I told them, nah you don't know me" verse and before Chester comes in. Just finished downloading it but I can't play with Windows Media Player and it doesn't give me an "Open with..." option, any tips? And did anyone else notice that the filename calls it HORIZONS instead of Darker than Blood? My guess is that these are either older stems or they were just saved from when it was still called Horizons and the name change was the final thing that happened after instrumentation and recording was finished. Probably the latter.

Justin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I hate how the vocals are mixed. It's cool that we have stems, though. I just wish the vocals didn't sound so weird by themselves.

Tyleronlplive Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The bass is good and the vocals, harmonies, and vocoder are good combos. My problem is that the stems don't sync up. When LP releases their instrumentals and a capellas those line up if you played them at the same time.
