Jimmy M's "Touch Me In The Morning"

[nrgbeat]

Has anyone heard Jimmy M's remix of "Touch Me In The Morning"?

I saw it posted on another site, but didn't have a chance to listen to it.

hey nrgbeat im not sure if the mix ive heard is the same but the one getting alot of rotation on sydney airwaves at the moment has a guitar sample buy spandau ballet in it very funky and good use of a sample to make a quite progressive trance like track very listenable

[nrgbeat]

No, this wouldn't be the same one.

This song isn't a progressive trance track, but a classic disco tune remixed by a member of this board.

Remixed or re-edited? Let's be clear.

[K-Bee]

oh yes - we're talking about one of Jim's many re-edits here. Both jim and I seem to toy around a lot with various edits and mixes at the moment.

Jimmy's currently not online due to some sorta system crash he had a few days ago. I'm sure he'll join in and tell you all about this thing when he gets back up.

Quinny,

Would you clarify for us? Many people believe any type of re-working of a song is a "remix". I think it would be good to know the difference.

Nicknack,

I've done re-edits only... I'll take a particular song and extend it by looping parts of the song... If a song is 4:30 minutes long... loop several parts of the instrumental beats and extend it to 6:00 or 7:00 minutes... I consider that a RE-EDIT.. I've done nothing to change the original recording only altered it.

NickNack:
Remix implies that an original 8, 16, 24 or 32 track master has been obtained and each track reworked into a new overall mix. This can only be done in a proper studio and would require a certain amount of knowledge and understanding / experience.
Re-edit implies chopping up an existing mix and extending, re-positioning segments etc to form a different piece of work. This can be done on a home computer, with razor blades (on a reel to reel tape), on a cassette deck (with piano keys...remember thoses?), on a minidisc recorder...whatever that allows editing. Almost anyone could do that with some success.

Therefore to call a re-edit a remix is fundamentally very, very wrong.

[NickNack]

Thanks efunk and Quinny. Now it's crystal: NO MASTER = NO RESTRUCTURE OF ORIGINAL TRACKS = NO REMIX. :D

I agree with your definitions wholeheartedly, Quinny. But what do you call it when someone takes an existing track, chops it up, and adds a whole pile of other stuff on top? As you know, the current crop of DAW software makes this relatively easy, and the P2P networks are full of "fan mixes" like these. Technically, they're not remixes, because the creators didn't have access to the original multitracks. But they're not just re-edits either, because additional/original material has been added. And then there are the officially-sanctioned, contemporary remixes which often have nothing of the original track in them, save for a vocal snippet or two (if that). I was hoping the term "reconstruction" would apply when the remix no longer has the original melody or chord progression, but alas...

[QUINNY]

That's a difficult one to call. I guess in some ways it is a remix, in so much as the original levels are altered, drums being the prime candidate. I prefer to call these offerings re or de constructions. Either way they don't sit easily with me as remixes.

Guys, I think we are getting way off topic here.

I asked if anyone had heard Jimmy M's remix of "Touch Me In The Morning". Shoot me if I put remix instead of re-edit but so far no one has answered the question.

[NickNack]

:lol: :lol: No, but you can shoot me nrgbeat cause I asked the question that took them off topic. Sorry. As to your question, no, I haven't heard it and I'm waiting for Jimmy M to get on line and spill. :D

Ok, after my computer crashing bad and losing everything on my hard drive :( ..im finally back! The re-edit/semi remix in classic style I did of Marlena Shaw's "Touch Me In The Morning" was done with tape editing and basic occational delay and tweeking effects on a mixer (also had the record pitched down to -8 1/2 or so). It took me roughly 2 or 3 hours to do that one from what I remember, I think I had done it a few years ago or maybe more. I had found it on a tape in my collection of unmarked tapes a few months back and decided to put it out on soulseek in an mp3 for people to hear after restoring it using a noise reduction program. Unfortunatly I lost the restored copy as I never put it to CD so..looks like I may have to restore it again from the tape just to have it in my own collection on CD :lol:

PS K-Bee if your reading this go onto slsk and check your offlines, had to make a new ID..damn it sucks when PC's crash :evil:

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Oh yea..almost forgot..also used in that a lazer zap sound effect that I have on a sound effects tape..starting using this sound again more recently in non tape edit remixes.

Did you pitch it this far to make it easier to work with or are you saying this is now the speed of your finished re-edit?

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Pitched it that way cause it sounds wayyyyyyyyyy better at that pitch and gives the true morning feel. What site is my re-edit up at? I may wanna go download it to save the trouble of having to restore this from my tape :lol:
