Fireflies Indie Rock Mix - Owl City

First up - Massive thanks and props to Adam Young, Owl City & Universal Republic for the original track!

This is the final mixdown of an 'Indie Rock' style, 'lite' remix of a recent hit. Tried to give it a heavier 'feel' with guitar augmentations and extended track time while trying to retain the original feel as much as possible. I only had the original track to work with so I had no choice but to work in the original mix as part of the end result. No real guitars were harmed or played in the making of this track.

Use the Soundclick Gadget at the top of the page to play the track

Created entirely in Logic 9.1. Plugins used are LPC, Kore 2, Amplitube 3, T-Racks and Miroslav Philharmonik along with a few Apple drum loops, Apple FX plugins and many hours of eq'ing & editing!

The lead "guitar" solo and "cello" parts were played live via my A-90EX midi controller keyboard with minimal post editing to retain a 'live' feel....Hey.. I'm no guitarist (or cellist for that matter!!) but I kinda like it! Does it work for you too?

Any opinions and/or feedback welcome.... good or bad!!!!!

  2. Good job especially since you only had the original stereo mix. You added some nice dynamics and peaks and valleys.
