[INSTRUMENTATION LISTED BELOW]

Figured it was about time I upload something on here.

This is a remix of the theme song to Grand Theft Auto IV, which I always liked the feel of. Set the mood perfectly to tell the story of our Serbian protagonist.

This is my first time attempting a remix, and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out. I elected not to layer too many things up, and let the emotion of the strings speak for themselves. I originally wanted to start with a multi-track, but I was unable to find any, so instead I found a MIDI version and set my own plugins over it.(After a bit of work fixing some odd timing in the original MIDI files.) There are most likely a few things left that I could further improve on, but personally I enjoy the way it sits now. Comments and criticism are still appreciated, however, as they'll provide a bit of insight as to what I can improve on for any future remixes I may do.    :)

Instrumentation:
Drum samples: Oneshots from various free packs I've downloaded over the years, plus a fill from the Cymatics 50k Sample Pack. The drum build at the beginning is from a different pack, not sure exactly which one
Strings: Sonivox Orchestral Companion
Dulcimer: Xpand!2

Made in Ableton Live 9 Lite

Soviet Connection - Trap Remix

few years late to the party. fuck it.

ended up starting from scratch with the acapella and building a fresh beat underneath. no loops or samples used except for drum oneshots, from a bunch of free sample packs i've downloaded over the last year or two.

DIS IZ WHY I'M HOT - remix

something i made a couple weeks ago while experimenting with layering a bunch of sounds in live... figured i'd put it up. not much to say about this one, i was having anxiety attacks while i made it, so it makes no fucking sense.

Aphotic

something i made to test out some of the capabilities of reason 9.5. not much to it, i made it at midnight and i had to finish it all in one session, since the demo doesn't let you reopen projects. it also doesn't let you export, so i had to record my screen with obs, then load it into live and do some light mixing to make it sound closer to what it was in reason. definitely going to revisit this one if i end up getting reason. (which i probably will, at some point)
