There are a lot of bands doing remixes contest or something like that. For example, a chilean band called PICNIC KIBUN has uploaded all of their acapellas into their last.fm account and letting everyone remix their tracks, which is something i havent seen, at least in chilean bands. Check them on
And, no, now Fruity Loops its called FL studio, cause image-line bought the software some years ago, but its still the same old awesome music app :)

i try to avoid digidesign stuff on the whole, but transfuser looks cool. i just hope it doesn’t have Stylus appeal in all the big recording studios if you catch my drift.

as for pro tools sessions: the funny part is if you please one DAW then someone from the next will say, “hey where’s my fruity loops session of the remix” (i dont think it’s even called fruity loops lol)

Transfuser is so new, I doubt that that many people have really touched it yet(!)

well i have finished my remix. did it in Reason. it was quite a pain to prepare everything, as the samples they provide were not just notes but full melodies and stuff. so i put them all in Audacity and cut everything up to size to load in Redrum and NNXT. it’s on the website right now, so take a listen. if you do not believe i just created the world’s greatest new hip sweaty-ass jiggling track, let me know. because i can’t think of a single reason not to like it.

Examples of bands doing remix contests is becoming more and more common! Artists are starting to figure out that this is great way to engage fans. They key is to make easy for people to remix, and giving the stems out is probably the easiest way. I love that the Abelton session was given up, but what if I don’t use abelton? A pro tools session would be cool, where I can see all the settings and plugins. But, this is splitting hairs. This is AWESOME.

Yeah, I agree. The vocals on this work nicely, though in fairness, they’re primarily rhythmic so not really that different from the drums.

I’ve been hearing quite a few samples / remixes lately that audibly mis-use some of the parameters in Live or sound obviously warped, though, so there is *some* finesse required!

(Disclosure: I’m generally not a remix artist. Then again, working in Live and other samplers often involves sampling your own recordings and music …)

i’d say the average dance track is pretty easy to cut up and remix if you have the stems, but it’s the acapellas that are the hardest to warp i’ve found. i often do that in cubase using timestretch but i wish i had easier methods.
