Scooter - Level One (Deaf PK remix)

Allright, just throwing this in here although I'm not big on using this forum. Hope some of you guys will enjoy it! :)

I've remixed one of my favourites: Scooter - Level One (a little bit mashed up with Soul Train)

OK, thanks for the feedback. I was hoping you could have a say on which sounds are too loud / too low etc.
I have made every sound and sample from scratch, mixed it together and mastered and EQ'ed it using only Reason 6.0.2.

The mixing was done so it sounded good through my headphones. I tried to play it on my stereo system, but I've obviously destroyed the amp! :thumbsup: However I should give it a listen i my car or whatever to see if i hear the same you did.

I know I had trouble getting the bass drum to be exactly how I wanted it, and ended up using two at the same time. One deep bassy and one clicky. I tried to separate the frequencies on the two and it sounded nice in my headphones.

Except for the mixing, what is your thoughts on EQ and master compression? I am on really thin ice on this one, I mean all that about compression ratio, attack and release. :S


So just to give some specs on my "studio":

HP 2760P laptop
Echo Indigo DJx Expresscard audio (ASIO 24/96)
AKG K518 DJ Headphones
M-Audio Axiom 61 USB
Reason 6.0.2
(mp3 conversion via Audacity)

When compressing imagine it's your hand on a fader turning down the loud bits:

Threshold is the level the audio has to hit before you pull the fader down
Ratio is how much you pull the fader down
Attack is how quick you pull the fader down
Release is how quick you put it back to normal

Obviously by doing so you're making the audio overall quieter so use makeup gain to bring it back up to the desired level...

I know that's a very simple way of thinking about it but hopefully it helps, you can see that using compression you can very easily loose too much dynamic range but using compression in the right places, you can make sounds stand out and make things punchy etc...

Then you go onto multiband compression which is the same principles but over select freqency bands :)

Thank you for that explanation of compression. :thumbup: Really gives me something to work on, now :) School exams are probably gonna keep me busy for a while, but hopefully I'll fix this remix so the sound isn't just as blurry.

Besides the above notes that tracks sounds pretty cool - I like the idea behind it.

Why not providing download?

So I got hold of some samples and tried to tune the master compression a bit different. Here is the second version, hope you still have got the time to have a listen and a say. Downloading is also possible now ;)
