Intermediate-G

Intermediate G would officially become the one track i would bump in an Orchard Beer Session, on repeat

Orchard Beer Session: 4 or 5 Farmer homeboys link up after a long day of summer harvest at ones respected orchard and run through 3 36-packs of Coors Light before going home and wake up again the next day at 5 in the morning for another day of harvest, followed by another Beer Session.

Whoever did Intermediate G, If you can make that a full track and post it, after this contest is all said and done, It'd be greatly appreciated.

I'm going through advanced first since there's only 10 of them (which is disappointing, it was a lot harder to mix than the intermediate one, would have liked to see more people step up).

Advanced Remix A- I think the beginning radio static gives away who this is, but I'm going to do my best to ignore it and judge fairly. Great use of the vocal, cutting it up/reverb/delays etc. Really sets up the verse as it comes in around :29. Lil wayne sample is always a bonus. Forever instrumental fits real nicely but is kind of overshadowed by the other bass beat you have going. Great to bump in a car.

Advanced Remix B- I gave a review this already since the mixer posted it elsewhere on the site, so I'm gonna skip comments on this one. Basically I don't like the anklets over the day and night since they're offbeat and I think it's kind of too much. Either do day and night or use the get it on the floor instrumental. Doing both was just offputting and took to long to set up. A little more creativity would have been nice too, let's be honest, you put a sagloop and get it on the floor instrumental together and threw in some police sirens/guns/airhorn/drop down bass/glass crash. The beats are off late in the mix too :)59-1:05). It's def a solid mix, but suffers from schizophrenia and lack of EQ. Just be more creative and stick to one vision and this mix can be off the hook.

Advanced Remix C- love the phaser at around :10-:14, but the EQ is so off, it hurts. The levels just do not work. It hurts so bad. I want to like this mix because it's different from the others in a good way and creative. But god the dhol beat is way too loud after :40, the frequencies don't match and when it fades out at the end you realize just how painful the frequency overlays were. So so creative and fun but just no polish. If this gets fixed up this would be one of the best if not the winner.

Advanced Remix D- like the idea of having the flute and anklets carry the remix instead of the usual bass/beat-heavy instrumentals, not nearly as much going on as the other mixes, but that's the point as the focus is on the melody instead of just throwing beats all over.

Advanced Remix E- The song is pitch-shifted, but I don't know if the key works well to begin with. Especially around :16-:24 it just feels weird. Once the vocals/lollipop come on though it really grows on you almost immediately. Love the last 30 seconds or so, just flows nicely and made good use of the whole song by looping instead of just fading out like most of the other mixes.

Advanced Remix F- Not a fan of the beginning. Anytime you put in synth-heavy song like "Love in this club", if you don't use it in the mix you're just blue balling us (I was really excited to hear how it would meld together, and when it didn't happen I was like wtf). I don't like how slow it is, and it gets off beat around :40. What is going on, there's a 100 things in the mix, none of it is beatmapped in the slightest or clean in quality, everythings syncopated. It literally sounds like you stopped halfway through, should polish it a bit.

Advanced Remix G- You know a producer is good when you hear a little glass clink and start thinking "da biz da biz da biznesss". Great choice of instrumental. Like Advanced Remix F, it's slower than most of the Mixes, but here you see a reason for keeping it slow. It has a mellow vibe, a nice voice over towards the end. I think the levels are a bit off towards the end, I would have preferred the "oooooh" a little quieter so I could focus on the rapping, but it's all good. The mix is just so smooth and silky, nice changeup.

Advanced Remix H- Grungy, best way to describe it. Very raw, interesting direction to take. Not too much variation as the mix goes on, so not a ton to comment. I personally am not a fan of the feel of the mix, but that's personal preference, not much technical stuff to comment on.


The decision is gonna be based on what you want in the mix.... do you want a club banger, an impressive technical mix, a creative melody, etc etc, so I'll rate a few that way:
1. Hits hardest, def play in a club/car- Advanced Remix A
2. Best technical remix- Advanced Remix E
3. Wild Card- Advanced Remix D for the flute

Overall Winner: Advanced Remix E, edges advanced remix A because the Forever instrumental just doesn't fit as well as the pitch-shifted lollipop instrumental.
