Thankyou LF. I was trying to wrap things up with the let's stop going on about that change thing bit. Unfortunately, I did add a little note about how it made me feel and then JSS came back to set me straight again.
If there's one thing I never wanted in this thread, it was all this arguing over a mix. Things around here are usually so peaceful and I've loved that atmosphere! But certain comments are better left unsaid.
I'd like this to be the last note about this, seriously, this time. If you're going to comment, don't say things that are just going to get someone angry. Simply think about what you want to say and wrap it up quick without being rude and drawing it out. I'm sure that's all anyone on here really wants. No rude comments.
And btw, LF has been someone who also didn't like the same thing JSS mentioned in the mix. But the way he approached it was great. That's a perfect example of saying what is acceptable and not in any way rude. Go Fickle!
Peace,
Adam.

JSS' comments aside, I personally like this mix.
It really adds a lot of new "unspeakable" emotions that I myself can't describe but can feel, especially at times in bed when I'm in deep thought about things troubling me, etc.
I thought this mix was much better than the original, and that's MY opinion. Before John says anything, I'm not saying that EVERYONE will think it's better than the original, but that's what *I* feel, that this sounds much better and is better as a song than the original one was.
And yes, I noticed the audible problems with the original version too, in these past few years. (Sadly I've yet to buy into the mini-LP series, which I would LOVE to do!)
I think this could very well be my favourite fan-made remix of a Queen song for this year! (Alongside my own Radio Mix version of "Was It All Worth It", which ironically was all chopped up, although 'nicely' like you sort of put it Adam (when you said it would earn a 100% mark in your music class), although nobody criticized my work on that edit/mix as a song or even an edit to begin with!)
I have a question!
Is it me, or did you put in a line from "Play The Game" near the end?! ('It's your life')
Or am I going insane! It sounds like that, and if it is, it sounds so much like it was recorded in the same session as Mother Love!
EXCELLENT WORK ADAM!!!

Ah ha! Another person who hears something that isn't there. Seriously, I really find this fascinating and I'm not sure why!
There are plenty of things packed into that ending and one of them is "I did it for love" from It's a Hard Life. Maybe that's what you've heard? Definitely nothing from Play The Game.
I'm starting to wonder if I should make a list of the included snippets in the ending part as I lost count when I added them all.
Peace,
Adam.

You probably should do that.

Here's the list folks:
Forever (piano and strings) - a little chopped up, but mostly into little sections that flowed together with the help of a very nice effects processor.
It's a Hard Life (vocal exposed bit) - "I did it for love_"
+ "Yeah... oh yeah" also vocal exposed.
Track 13 (Vocal exposed parts) - Freddie vox bits + some of the instrumental plays out.
+ "are you running?"
Mother Love (delayed beats) - little delays on a certain drum hit. These are littered through the track actually.
+ the smash part vocal exposed that has part of Brian's little riff playing.
+ "Sweet Mother Love" also vocal exposed
+ The montage that flows backwards at the end of the original is included
+ Part of the main beat playing in the background with an effect on it.
+ Some kind of bird sound also from the original ending.
Some cymbal swells from my library. Haven't a clue where they came from as they were just in my music folder!
Hope this helps with any of the confusion that's been going round.
Peace,
Adam.

Hey Adam, are the cymbal swells on WAV or MP3 files?
If so, can you send them to my e-mail addy via YouSendIt?
I want some samples for when I get to recording an E.P. eventually

Actually, they're cymbal hits that I reversed inside Audition. You can find plenty all over the web. If you have trouble finding any, I'll try and pass them on.
Peace,
Adam.

It would probably save me time if you could post some of the links here, as I don't get too much time on the Internet now that my sisters and step-brothers are back in school as of today (meaning I can't go to bed later than 10PM, which sucks!)
Adam Baboolal · Member since
Do you mean, you want me to upload the files?
Peace,
Adam.

I actually meant the websites where the samples can be found
Adam Baboolal · Member since
I don't have any bookmarked, you'll just have to search I'm afraid. That's the only way to get anything.
