On LabelRadar I downloaded the stems of “One More Time” from Finnet & Stay up Late. Some days later I loaded them into my DAW.
Then I was busy with other remixes. I opened the project, listened to it and closed it again. I had no idea how to handle these rock vocals.
Some weeks later I saw on TV a documentation about Steinway & Sons. I added a Steinway piano melody into my remix.
On the day of submission I programmed the drums, mixed and mastered my project. Finally I always listen to the MP3 file to check everything is fine. I was not happy with the bass. So I completely programmed a new bass line for the whole remix – 1 hour before submission.
Normally I finish a remix weeks before the deadline and listen to it everyday several time and tweak it. This was the first time I had so much stress at the end.
