Something sounds a bit weird with it, I think it might be clipping or something but it sounds distorted.

Also I think the wobbles sound really random and out of time - did you just sample the wobble and just pitch bend it into position? The beat sounds quite disjointed too and doesn't really flow that well.

Sorry I don't particularly like it, just my opinion.

Something with the hihats sounds out of time i think.

I like the idea, its fucking heavy, but needs more work

I arranged it to be a little off, just for a bit of change. Sliced the bassline of the originial, re arranged it and added 3 more synths. IMO I think it works depending on what medium your listening to it on. With no subs I agree, it doesnt sound right but the low end from the bassline is dead on when you hear it loud. Sounds great in my car. May go back and tweak it based on what you have said.

this is great!
i see what people are talking about. something does sound a litttttttle off at a point. but if you nod your head, it's actually on beat. can't explain it. might need a little bit more work but this is a solid remix nonetheless. i'm gonna bump this in the car for sure :D
good stuff, man :)

cheers mars. I started with it on time, then changed the start on the sample and even know it was off I liked it. If you like the tune apart from that I can go back and fix it, it will take me all of 5 seconds to do. Actually one of my fav tunes of all time, a speed garage track from 97 had the weirdest kick arrangement, 10 kicks every 2 bars, sounded like a trainwreck but it worked really well. Tune was by Blu Peter and thats all I know.

I really like it, it's heavy. But i agree that it needs a little more work.
At 01:28 the audio-stream makes a U-turn in just a split second which makes it sound odd.
What I really like is the change in pitch throughout the track.
Big up for sharing this in 320, like I said it's heavy.

peace

could you elaborate on the u-turn? if I am getting you right I take it you mean going into the bassline for 2 bars then back to chainsaw?? If I am correct the idea was along the lines of the original, as in the your trying to start the chainsaw, it starts then once connecting to the tree (or object your trying to saw) it makes the bassline. I went with the idea of pitching the bassline down as in the chainsaw comes to life but dies out, then back to the sample of trying to re-start it again.

I really loved that idea from 16 Buts original. I am currently working on an electro remix for Re-Sun titles "Delorean I Drive" following the same idea, with the breakdown being samples from Back To The Future and the bassline being the delorean in full flight. I feel fully inspired by this concept.

The sudden change in volume sounds a bit off.

I somewhat agree lad but in this day and age the amount of booty's out there and on this forum alone is plentiful. If 16 Bit wanted me to remove it I would with no hesitation.

There is two separate links for 320 download on the top of the page. I can email/myspace it to you if its any easier?
