<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Hi Everyone, </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>I´ve just uploaded several of my Remixes to my Online Mixing and Mastering page here on Mixposure. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Remixes of songs by: Peter Gabriel, Snoop Dogg, Janis Joplin, Linkin Park, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and Sheila Chandra. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>I´m giving my Peter Gabriel Remix of "Games Without Frontiers" as a Free Download here on Mixposure, so be sure to have a listen, and give it a rating, leave a comment, and download it, if you like it . It features my drumming skills, along with my arrangement, production, mixing, mastering, and remix skills. So, please have a listen. If you know the original vesion, I think you will really enjoy what I´ve done with it. The production is a bit like, if Phil Collins had produced Gabriel´s song. Also, feel free to check out my other tracks, and my new website as well. I just moved to a new server, and I´m still working on the site, and will be adding my Mixposure player on the Examples page very soon. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Hope you´re having a good weekend, and a great summer. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>All the best, </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>OMM_DICARLO</strong></span></p>
<p>I uploaded a new song called "Lock And Load". Please check it out if you get a chance.</p>
<p>me throwing in a few more tunes to this new compo ..ive sort of got a taste for the acoustic/electro thing .having to much fun with this to not continue ...to hell with if i win or not ..lol im in for the tunes and nowt else ..and anyways ive never written one track for a compo anyhoo so nah nah na nah nah ...lol 
</p>
<p>ive re-worked tune number 3 drum and rock basically because i was having some compression problems ..the pumping effect was really kicking in so i removed all the compression ,changed the intro pad which i reversed ..tweaked all the volumes and eq settings ,,changed the bassline ,,some guitars and added echo to the vocals ,,and removed a guitar amp simulator which was also overdriving to much ..all seems better now the volumes are more normalised and basically its a better track </p>
<p>Congratulations to <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Christina_Crofts/">Christina Crofts</a> for having the Mixposure Song of the Week for July 22nd! This a great tune and you can check it out below.</p><div class="head-180">Biography</div><p>As one of 7 children Christina learned early in life to paddle her own canoe. Moved by music from a very early age, Christina nagged her mum into buying her an electric guitar and amp at around 14 years of age and she messed about with chords which she taught herself by watching other players on tv etc. That was the extent of it until her early 20's when she met (and later married) Steve Crofts, who was playing guitar in a local band, and who was so impressed with her natural ability on guitar that he offered to give her guitar lessons. From then on Christina played in various cover bands in Sydney until the mid 1990's when she decided to form and front her own band, a 3 peice blues/rock cover band called 'Croftstown Traffic'.</p><p>In 2007 she decided to change tactics a little and go out under her own name with a whole batch of original new tunes, and in 2008 recorded and released her debut CD Midnight Train, which continues to be very well reviewed. </p><p>Christina is working steadily in and around Sydney and is definitely shaking up the rock and blues audiences around town.</p><p><object width="400" height="450" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&song_id=28961&band_id=3382&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450&system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=28961&band_id=3382&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450"></param><embed width="400" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="radio_id=&song_id=28961&band_id=3382&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450&system_name=Mixposure.com" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=28961&band_id=3382&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450"></embed> </object></p>
