remixing fatboy slim and having issues with content....
i decided that i would take this as a personal challenge to recreate something dark and soul-less sounding from a typical fatboy slim track. i went to work last night for the first time in a year writing music.
after horrendously tearing apart all of mr. slims' samples and giving myself a good base i began forming a new percussion section from snippets of his samples. after creating some nice hits and percussive noises i found myself and the original samples really lacking in the punch i really wanted for my track.
heres where i hit an ethical dilemma. i added some sequenced soft synth lines to beef up the BD and the snare. then i went and plucked out a halfway decent bassline to follow suit.
my problem is that i want to really confine myself to only using the samples i was given and see where it can get me. i dont plan on entering this into the contest but i feel guilty having to resort to alternate sound sources.
:oops:
your thoughts?
