  • That sounds interesting, I'd love to hear it once it gets finished, if it does. Personally I've wanted to get into remixes and/or making music, but I lack the equipment and skill to do so. Speaking of:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjOJQ3OTSw"]Nine Inch Nails/Dave Oglive - Underneath the Skin[/ame]

    This one's a cool one from the March of the Pigs single. Reptile's been my favorite track of of The Downward Spiral for a while now, and I wish it had its own single to go along with March of the Pigs and Closer. This particular remix was done by Dave Oglive for NIN back in 1994 using samples from old 50's fetish movies (not the audio track in the original, which was from Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and the song's demo, "Liar". It's a little more upbeat and fast compared to it's cousin "Reptilian" from the same single, and acts as an instrumental version of the song with the exception of TR screaming "REPTILE!" at the beginning.

    This dude's got a track record of awesome track record for NIN remixes. To me, at least, it feels like an anniversary Halo done sometime around The Downward Spiral, remixed by a dude Reznor met during a live show. This one in particular caught my fancy because it features one of my favorite tracks from Pretty Hate Machine, The Only Time ("While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car..." <- that one). It's an awesome mix that's good for staying up late and doing something that you'll probably regret in the morning.

    This one I found off the NIN subreddit. I don't know if I'd call this a remix, but basically it's the song Copy of A off of NIN's last commercial release Hesitation Marks, but layered over itself. It's an interesting concept, but I think the dude needs to go through and master the track or something because there's this weird audio glitch around 0:47 that's annoying the hell out of me. Beyond that, for an individual mix done by some amateur off of YouTube, it's alright.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Fd8j_lzCo"]Nine Inch Nails/modwheelmood - My Violent Heart[/ame]

    This comes from Y34RZ3r0r3mix3d (Year Zero Remixed), and while the whole album is great, this track in particular stands out for it's awesome beat and rendition of the song. The original album, Year Zero, reared it's ugly head right before The Slip and subsequent Wave Goodbye Tour in 2007. These albums, along with Ghosts I-V, were released all in the same timespan largely due to Reznor having a dispute with Interscope, the record company that saved them from TVT and the parent company of Nothing Records (which also housed Marilyn Manson from most of the 90's). Lyrically and historically, this is an interesting point in his career, because Reznor had fully sobered up since The Fragile in 1999, which was probably his lowest and darkest point in his personal life and career. He released all of these independently under the Null Corporation outside the realm of Interscope's jurisdiction. Currently, Nine Inch Nails is signed under Columbia Records, and their next album'll be released sometime next year (which, like any self respecting NIN circlejerk, I will buy).


    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTnJut4Ho8Q"]The Great MOTHER FUCKING DESTROYER[/ame]

    This is just for fun. The song is The Great Destroyer from Year Zero, this was in Luxemberg. Reznor really is to synth what Hendrix and Sharrock were to guitar.

        Well, if you'd like to listen to some of my works, here's my Bandcamp. Be sure to check my recommendations, as there are a couple albums in there that contain remixes I've made. Also check the links to my Soundcloud and IndabaMusic accounts which contain most of my remixes (on Indaba, they're in the "submissions" section because they were made for contests). Each account features a few remixes that are not on the other. I'm especially proud of my Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells remix. The Xzibit and Peter Gabriel ones were made earlier than the others and I'm not as satisfied with them as I am with the rest. Note that none of these, except the two Byzant@Sunset remixes found in my Bandcamp's recommendations, are mastered yet.

        As for making remixes yourself or creating your own music, all the hardware you need are a computer with a good soundcard (forget the onboard chipset, it's usually crap), preferably with an external box with jack inputs if you want to record instruments or vocals, and a decent pair of monitoring speakers/headphones. Once you have these, grab a DAW software, some sample banks and you can start getting your hands dirty! I personally still use good ol' Cool Edit Pro 2 for its more user-friendly approach, but professional musicians generally use more advanced programs like Cubase or ProTools. Having a master keyboard to control software synthesizer plugins will greatly speed up the process of creating melodies but it's not mandatory.

            • For some reason, Youtube recommended from that video that I should watch another video about "open dance" with topless women... so of course I DID. But then... from that one Youtube also recommended me a Huff Post video about adults drinking breast milk. I had to stop there. I dunno where that rabbit hole led to, but I saw a dark trend forming. Youtube,... wtf, man?

              • Ha ha! You know YT doesn't only recommend videos related to the one you're currently watching, but also unrelated ones according to your own viewing habits, right? So what does it say about you?

                • It says I like titties I guess, but titty milk is just... nah, that's no good. Get them thangs away from me.

                  • Dunno, if I ever make a baby, I'd be curious to know what my woman's milk would taste like. But yeah, I can see how it's not a turn-on. Tits by themselves are enough anyway, no need for more.

                    • Look, I know we all like a good pair of boobies, that's a given, but boobies that are shooting liquid? Nope. Not to mention the fact that it's an action that mothers typically perform... ew... all I can say is fuck Huff Post and from now on I'm feeding my future children formula.

                      • @formula Why feed the profiteers while there's a free, natural supply? That makes about as much sense as living on liquid air canisters instead of just breathing. And why do people feel disgusted by nature in the first place? Mankind is in dire need of reconnecting with its animality. Sometimes I feel like people are living in a science-fiction book.

                          • Hey man, I'm not discrediting nature, I'm just saying I don't wanna drink titty milk is all. The thought disgusted me so much I thought my children would feel the same way.

                              • Why would it disgust you? It's an integral part of human nature. It's not like it was a waste like piss or shit. Do cow milk or chicken eggs disgust you? It's fuckin' food! Don't worry, your kids know better. By the way...
