this is how a proper remix should be.

not hating on yours, it was okay, but learn from something like this. this is great.

I agree that's pretty good.
I was impressed with the instrumental composition, but I can't say I was interested in the song itself. But that's only because I'm not a big fan of rap or dubstep.

It would be much easier if I could compare myself to another remix of "In The Mouth". Too bad it's the only existing remix of the song so far.
I'd ask if you would do a remix that's better than mine so I can see a clearer image of what I could have done, but I have no control over your priorities so I'll just have to try harder to work on the backbeat when I make my next song.

I'm still a beginner with LMMS; my two major problems with music are making songs loop (The original "In The Mouth" doesn't loop seamlessly though, so I managed to avoid the problem there) and finding the right instruments to use. It doesn't help that whenever I try to open the GUI for editing Synth instruments (They're the type I use the most often) LMMS suddenly stops responding, so I can't differentiate those ones very well.

I'd say one part I really wish I had done better is the bit between 1:10 and 1:22, because I reused the Rave Bass there one last time. That particular instrument overshadows everything else and was simply a terrible choice on my part. I only picked it because I was having a very tough time finding something that would fit. Clearly I failed with that.

Music will always sound better in my head than when I actually compose it, because I'll never find a way to get the exact pattern down. And whenever I hear a note that feels off key it can seriously warp my mental image of the song and potentially destroy it. The beginning stages of composing music are tough. I still get a great boost of self-esteem whenever I make something I like, but impressing the general audience is a challenge.

MOAR BASS. I play bassooon as well as sax, and a little oboe; you may want to make add more parts to the bass line, so it is not just little bursts or long held out notes (also make the melody stand out a little better). make it jump around a little, its a remix; do what you want. And with that in mind, try inventing a clever counter melody for this thing (as well as layering parts, soprano, alto, tenor, bari, ect), maybe add a key change. However these are my opinions, you are the arranger. Beethoven thought his 9th symphony was a complete failure, yet it remains my favorite piece by him. (You also may want to add a decrecendo at the end instead of just abruptly stopping and becoming quieter, and then gradually build up dynamics as well as layers, and perhaps a accelerando (not sure if I spelled that right). Anyways this is all just my opinion. Being a band geek, it is a little technical.

most of that was common knowledge not technical :/ but anyway, you're right on several defining points besides for one.

the bass. don't add bass if you don't want too.

remixes don't always have to be Bass n' Drums or Dubstep (or substep variation) remixes.

you can do simple EDM or House or take it in another way entirely, your choice. adding bass isn't always the best option, though unfortunately it usually is the first.

it was okay. pretty bland. the drums were definitely lacking. After 00:34 the music was on point for a moment though, really nice stuff. then falls back to mush at like 1:10, where, again its lacking.

it has some good elements, but the drums are tasteless and its bland overall. (being bland isn't negative, it just means it seems unfinished.)

I don't really know much about music, or what's good or what's bad, but it sounds pretty good to me.

There's a computer in our school library whose CD drive has been opening and closing repeatedly all year, the school IT department hasn't been able to figure it out (nor did i expect them too, their knowledge of modern computing is as questionable as your file names) But i'm pretty sure its just a startup command that someone installed.

yours sounds alot better though (with the spinning screen)

Heh, it's amazing what you can do with a few lines of code and some spare time.
