So, when making this remix, does it come into play how much liberty we take with our mix? Obviously I’m not going to make a 180 BPM drum ’ n ’ bass remix. But I’m curious, do you want us to keep it strictly classic house style, or can we mix it up and make it a little more deep house, etc?
Really amazing idea by the way, I really hope there is more of this in the future, often, O-F-T-E-N.
I don’t see any track or I am on wrong page… btw. why it so hard to get to the page where published remixes are ? If i want to check is there anything new I need to scroll thru comments and look for comment with link to click on to get me to that page ?
Hi @dozz if you go to the course page there is a box there which will take you straight to the remix page. Also, we had a bit of an issue with the voting system so its down for some work.
ahh, I really hope the voting system gets fixed before the cutoff date, I was listening to other people’s mixes to get an idea of how I should develop mine…
I got caught up at work last night much later than expected and didn’t upload my remix… it’s 100% done and ready to go I just need to get home (at work again this morning) and get it uploaded.
I thought I just check in to clarify something considering I am EST (eastern time) … aprox 4 hours behind UTC I believe.
The contest end says “2016-09-30 00:00:00 UTC” Originally I thought that mean I had until tomorrow night (end of the last day of the month). But after re-reading it… that’s midnight tonight correct? With a 4 hour difference I’m feeling a bit gutted as I don’t know if i’ll be home before 7 my time which obviously cuts thing REALLY close to the 8pm(EST) cutoff… Can you confirm this?
*** Edit… just saw the confirmation on facebook… ugh!!! … I have a version with me that is 1 small edit ago… I guess I’ll upload it if I run out of time … 4 sessions of work all comes down to needing 2 extra hours!! boo … my fault! ***
… my fault! ***
