Hi Sonny, Guenter I really like this remix better than the original. The guitars add power and strength to truly bring out the emotion in the vocals. It makes me pay attention to what she is saying and I would not want to be the receiver of that message. Great job all around and I simply love the vocals. Sonny Thanks a lot for stepping by and for your nice comments. And yes, I love the vocals, too. Guenter

Hi Tommy, Guenter, You are the remix master of this forum. What you do is so unique and very different than anything else that is posted here. It just goes to show what Biab can do in the hands of a very creative musician. This is another fabulous remix and sounds terrific. Tom Thanks so much for your continuous support. Guenter

Guenter, you never fail to deliver.
This is a great arrangement, with a superb build, and sensational vocals.
The rhythm works really well, with a great driving beat.
Perfect mix. Overall, quite sensational. Trev

Hi Floyd, Guenter,
As usual, I listened to many of the submissions. Maybe 50? There were far too many to do all of them.
Your competition is better in this one. A lot of interesting remixes in many different styles. The vocal is incredible - and nice that it could be used in so many different ways
The standard EDM mixes get old really fast. The "throwback" disco remix (Music Kitchen Studio) was SO much better than the thumping dance tracks.
There were a few nice "acoustic" versions - most never "took off" the way they should have.
Several hard-rock things, too.
None better done than yours! The other rock versions were "guy rock". You were the only one (that I heard) that did "girl rock". Clever. Somewhere between Pat Benatar and Heart. Superbly done (of course). Perfect rock mix. You took the song to a different place - something that few others even came close to doing.
Here's hoping they recognize it - and you win another...
floyd Thanks very much for taking a lot of trouble listening to so many submissions. You are right, there are some very strong contributions this time. They published the winners today. The first three prizes are just ordinary EDM stuff. But Music Kitchen Studio was among the 3 Popular Vote Winners chosen by the judges from the 10 most voted submissions. That really is a great version. Winning a contest is not my aim. To be able to work with the great vocals is reward enough. Guenter

Hi Lawrence, Great energy and mix! Especially the piano. It sits really well in with all those driving guitars.

Hi Guenter,
Possibly you saw my post on behalf of visually impaired Forum members. I would love to listen to your tune, but where is it? I mean, on the page. Where do I click? To the extent that I can see at all, it just looks like one continuous line of text. I tried moving the mouse around looking for a "hot spot" but I must have missed it.
Anyway, the solution is given in the above-mentioned post, and I look forward to your next contribution when you implement it, if you would be so kind.
Thank you
Dean

Hi Noel, Guenter,
As always, your ability to work pre-existing audio and to use BIAB/RB to enhance it is outstanding. As far as I'm aware, there's no-one on the forum here has anywhere close to your ability in this area of music making. Your re-mixes are a highlight of Users Showcase.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Regards, Noel Thanks a lot for your praise. I thoroughly appreciate that. Guenter

Hi Guenter,
As usual, I have no idea how you did this but it's a huge, mind-blowing sound. Do you download vocals only and then create the RealTracks arrangement to go along? Do they tell you the changes or can you choose your own, as long as they fit? It all sounds pretty cool and I hope you win!
Dean

Hi Janice & Bud, I remain clueless as to how you can envision these projects. To move the same vocal from one genre to another and not just have it work but have it work this well has got to be a rare talent. You responded to Pat that "it just happens." Well, many of us would wait a LONG time for it to happen  You've created a fine hard rocking arrangement and mix here. Everything seems to be "hittin' the note" and it sounds huge on my monitors. We love that Brent solo track. So...Rock on!! J&B Thank you a lot for your kind comments. Somehow I slithered into this remixing thing as I don't want to sing myself anymore. And the use of vocaloids is not that satisfactory. Maybe I've developed some talent for this. Guenter

It's all been said but I will add that your remix rocks!
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Hi Dean, glad you found the link now. Hi Guenter,

Do they tell you the changes or can you choose your own, as long as they fit? It all sounds pretty cool and I hope you win! Dean It's just as you said: I download the vocals, sometimes I use an additional track I like. You can choose your own changes. I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for your comments. Guenter
