Break Of Dawn


Hi all,

time for another remix contest: https://blend.io/feature/whitezoo-remixcontest
Interesting for me is the fact that the vocalist Nastassja Giulia comes from Mannheim which is just about 40 miles from where I live.
I used the dry vocals and a synth track and added some strings.

Guenter,

I don't have the time to listen the way I normally do - but I'll be back for that later when I have the time to devote to it...

Just a quick listen because you used a bunch of my favorite guitar tracks! Wanted to hear what to look forward to... Awesome mix, (of course!). The vocal was a bit of a surprise at first, but settles in nicely... Love the solos!

I'll be back for more extensive listening later...

Guenter, you always deliver

This is another example.

Fantastic!

I thoroughly enjoyed the delivery from start to finish.

Electronic music can be very unusual and well, frankly often going nowhere - but this song has got structure.

I really liked it.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Guenter. The Presonus Studio One Forum has begun providing stems for members to practice mixing and also have presented a few remix contests.

Seems your favorite sport may be catching on and growing.

Enjoyed my listen.

wow, what a difference it makes when a song has pro quality vocals in the mix! There were times when this reminded me of Fleetwood Mac, then that vibe would simply yield the stage to another sound!

It must be very satisfying to hear just how GOOD these remixes sound when you're done with them! Whether you win the contest or not, you and your friends know that your version rocks every time!

as stated on previous remix projects, I like the EDM genre, and I have no objections to the original. I think the genre opens a lot of opportunity for extreme editing techniques that would be impractical for engineers to incorporate in other genres. But even though I like the original, I like your version better!

Thanks for inspiring us, Guenter!

exactly my thoughts!
and I also know that this must be a lot of work, fine-tuning it all.
You sure have delivered again!

Rob

Really nice.

Guenter
Liked your version a lot more than the original.
Very clever - still not sure how you do this but quite an extraordinary effort.
Nice use of the guitar real tracks.

Hi Floyd,

"I don't have the time to listen the way I normally do."
You shouldn't invest too much time. It's not that important.
I appreciate your time for listening and commenting.
This time you have prevented the post from disappearing in the Nirvana.
Thanks a lot.

Guenter

That was my intent.

Hi Guenter,

Brilliant! Every time I listen to one of your remixes, I come away admiring your ability to imagine and to create such diverse, and always involving, musical journeys. From what I can tell, you are fast becoming a/the leading expert in this field.

As always, I have nothing but praise for your ability. I enjoyed the expedition in sound.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Trevor,

thanks a lot for listening and your kind review.

Guenter

Guenter,

Excellent as always - really like what you are doing here.

Bob

great work my friend love her voice great job with biab wow thanks for sharing eric

I wish we hadn't read the track list before listening because I would
never have expected those RT's. But it was a great choice.

We cranked this up on our monitors and it is a most excellent mix.
Low, medium or LOUD it all sounds strong.

Look forward to listening to some more versions but I suspect none
will top this to our ears.

Great work!

Hi Charlie,

I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks a lot for your continuous support.
I'm going to check the Presonus Studio One Forum.

Guenter

Super works. Excellent mix.
Great sound and vocal.

Sergio

Hi Pat,

I'm always looking forward to your kind reviews.
I'm never disappointed. Thanks again.
"what a difference it makes when a song has pro quality vocals in the mix!" That's why I do these remixes.

Guenter

Hi Rob,

thanks a lot for listening and commenting.

Guenter

Hi David,

thanks a lot.
I appreciate your continuous support.

Guenter

Awesome job Guenter!! When I hear what others have done, they are so much less musical, and interesting-generic. You find a way to make unexceptional songs sound so musical and interesting. Don't know how you do it. GREAT!! Take care. Greg

Hi David,

thanks a lot.

Guenter

Wow,
Love the remix. In awe of what you have done….some really tasty ear candy to my ears. Love the panning and rhythmic FX. If you have it, please share a link to the original of version. Really interested in how this is done. Until this forum, I hadn’t heard much about remixing. Love to hear more and understand how this all is created. Very inspired by your remix. Thanks for sharing.

Atze

Guenter,

I went and listened to all the submissions - or enough bits to get the feel for each. I'm glad I did. Of the contests that you have done, this had the best overall submissions. A LOT of well done re-mixes - good listens, interesting... a lot of variety - it did not feel like I was listening the same song over and over... it was nice that the openings had so much variety from one to the next.

And, of course, yours is a breath-of-fresh-air after listening to all the others. As always, you have transformed the song and the vocal to a higher place.

Great mix. Great choice of a band.

Bravo.

floyd

Hi Peter,

equipment used ) !!!

I enjoyed this truly much

your mixtures !!!!!

Guenter, Nice work finding the supporting real tracks. I love the bass line and Brent's guitar. They work perfectly. This one sounds really good! Tom

Hi Guenter

Very cool tune. Vocal was excellent. A quality piece of music

I hear a bit of a Prince vibe.

Well conceived.
