For over a year now, I've been listening to lots of bands too much. I got sick of them, to the point that it was unbearable to really focus on their music anymore. Well, okay, that's a little more "bloated" way of putting it (i.e., I didn't feel that strongly), but you get the idea.
As a cure for this musical boredom, I bought Sound Forge 5 (and now 6) and use them to piece together parts from two or more songs into one. They're more medleys or "splices" than remixes, but remix is a broad term that usually explains my work very well.
As you might've guessed, I've done this with a lot of metal bands. Nearly 5 gigs of my bigger hard drive are devoted to music, a large chunk of which are taken up by these remixes (because they're saved at 192 kbps or higher and usually last 10 min+ ). Naturally, I made/make lots of Opeth remixes too.
I haven't gotten nearly as much feedback on this material as I'd like. For a while, I only dealt with Tool remixes, but upon both the act of broadening my musical horizons and accomplishing possibly the be-all end-all of Tool remixes (the Lateralus Remix album), I now deal mostly with metal bands. My last project was completed today, which was a medley of most of Deliverance's clean parts.
I'd like some board members to offer an opinion on these remixes. It's not difficult to find them, really - SoulSeek is my main file distributor program, which you can get at www.slsk.org. I have to add you to my list if you want to browse my files, though. I also hang around on Direct Connect metal hubs, Kazaa, iMesh, and WinMX, though not nearly as much as SoulSeek.
Sorry for wasting so much space on such a selfish post.
