Remember the Name (Bad with Names, Good with Faces Mix)

The original song was by FortMinor - a pairing of Mike Shinoda and various other artists. I really appreciate Ryu and Tak's flow on this rap, as well as Mike's (I think) producing. The string line and the plinky intro synth are nice touches that I had the pleasure of lifting. I do need to rewrite the bassline (which is the original). The original mix has much better levels than mine and I'm gonna fix those if I want it to sound halfway decent. I used Ableton Live and only Ableton Live.

To help me with this project and the several others I have planned, I'm getting one of these:

Mr. Pink.

I currently have an M-audio Oxygen 8v2 as a keyboard controller. It kicks ass, no matter what anyone says. But I found that pounding on Immitation Ivory doesn't cut it when programming drums or triggering samples. I think those 16 pink backlit pads will respond to heavy petting. Also that x-y controller on the bottom left begs me to flick it. And those knobs want to be twisted back and forth... em, getting a little too excited.

Look for more tunes as I make em...
