I was working on a remix of my friend Brian Bethke's song Red Window. This song works really well for a remix because it does not have a complex bass part, so I could just low shelf filter the bass out of the song and work from there. Here is my original remix:
Red Window (Plasma Remix 1)
At this point I like to take a little time and listen to the song. I usually burn it to disk and listen to it in my car to make sure everything sounds balanced etc. I wanted to make the break a little more interesting too. I worked some more on it and added some new parts. I think I increased the length of the breaks a bit. After that this is the version I came up with:
Red Window (Plasma Remix 2)
I then posted both copies for Brian to review. I also asked a DJ friend of mine, Alex, to review the songs. Alex had some great suggestions on how to build energy and I did a third version of the song based on those suggestions.

At this point I am planning on giving this project a rest for a while and work on some other projects. I may come back to it later but the remix is pretty good as it is.
