mogwai: remix this album @10:22 PM
was just looking at the liner notes for the Mogwai album happy songs for happy people and I noticed this interesting little insert:
Contained on this CD-ROM is a demo version of the music program Cubase SX by Steinberg. The parts of "Haunted by a Freak" are also on the CD so that the song can be remixed to your great satisfaction using the Cubase program. The demo is PC only, however Mac users can still use the individual parts if they already have a version of SX on their computer. More details can be found at www.mogwai.co.uk/hauntedremixcubase. Thanks to Steinberg for making this possible and enjoy your mixing. (www.steinberg.net)
Pretty damn good idea. clearly, no reference is made here as to what constitutes 'fair use,' but since mogwai are cool about recording live shows, it's probably fine to do just about anything as long as you don't try and sell it. Also interesting to note that this record was indeed released by Matador just last year.

On the other side of the IP coin, using software from Beatnik, Trent Reznor had an online re-mix contest for his song “The Big Comedown” off the album “The Fragile”. You could remix the song, save your settings, and submit them for Trent's judgment and a chance to win I think an autographed guitar. No way to readily download the content though.
It was a lot of fun because many of the songs off that album are packed with a huge number of tracks -- everything from beats and rhythm, to faint background noises. So each time you remixed the song, you could come up with a radically different result.
