Thank you for the comment… especially from someone with quite a good reputation around here, that means a lot to me, I appreciate it. :)

And yeah, I agree that some of the sounds are not the best in there…had a friend listen to it who said the distorted guitar could particularly use improvement, and I tend to agree.

Yeah, I’ll agree with that one too - I worked with what I had, basically. I would’ve considered recording some parts at least for the guitar myself if I had a good means of cleanly recording them; unfortunately I don’t. (And although I’ve dabbled in drums a bit, I don’t own a drumset. lol)

So yes, in a few ways for this remix, the ideas were there even when the samples/plugins left a bit to be desired. I was still rather happy with the result I achieved though ^^

Nevertheless, thanks for the comment =)

I did feel just a tad lousy about just using the original chord progression, but I couldn’t think of anything else quickly and I wanted to get started on it (glad I did, since it took me quite a while to fully put together).

And about it not quite passing as a ‘hip hop’ beat… I suppose I wasn’t even fully aiming for that =p I was aiming to go on my own compositional impulses of what I saw in it, so that’s what I did =3 It was a fun experiment if nothing else, and I’m very happy at the feedback I’ve been getting, so thanks again everyone. =)
