Hi guys, I have a few tracks under my belt now. I have been producing a year now and decided to do a remix competition.

Have you any advice or tips for remixing?



Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

not really dude.  make what you love to make.  dont try to completely conform to the song.  Lastly, do your best.  I have confidence that you can do well.  Just make sure you give yourself all the time in the world to complete it.

Cool :slight_smile: Ya I have got until the 8th of March to complete it, so I will use all that time to do it properly.

The track I have to remix is Remote Kiss “Robert Babicz”, its a really percussive track and a simple melody.

I think my biggest stubbling block is music theroy all the time, I need to master that. So thankfully this track is more about the groove than complicated chords etc.

  • Make the track your own
  • You don’t have to use all parts
  • Have a game plan (an idea what you’re setting out to do in the remix)
  • Have an idea who your target audience is
  • Try not to create the exact same style as the original, try to make it something completely different.
  • Good luck

One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you’re into jazz.

If it was me doing the remix I would want to hear the track, only so I could make something different from that.
