Story

Alright so, admittedly the style of this remix is pretty far off from the original, hope that doesn't come off as disrespectful - the original is possibly my favorite tune on c64, even though I always kinda hated the game itself 😊

 

Vocals created on a late night session playing with VstSpeek - beware it's gonna be cheesy!

 

Paper paper paperboy

Bring us paper bring us joy

Bring us our Daily Sun

Every morning makes so fun

 

According to first review my music production skills have reached the level of AI - I'll take that as a compliment😉 Happy to send the Ableton project files to anyone who asks.

Newcomer or not, I have every right to question the musical authenticity of someone who appears out of nowhere on youtube and soundcloud to upload three different musics of similar length and mixing quality on the same day and uses a clearly AI generated image as their logo. Ableton? No. I don't buy it. There are various ways that AI generated material can be blended with non AI material and this remix both sounds and feels incredibly lifelsss to me, especially if compared to the other two songs made by this person. You want to take sounding like a soulless AI a compliment? Ehhhhhhhhhh okay! Whatever. This is just my honest opinion. I'm entitled to it, and you're free to disagree.

First of all, I think it's completely inappropriate to criticize a newcomer for his very first remix in this way, especially since the AI ​​accusations don't seem to be true at all. People can have different opinions about music styles and tastes, but someone has made the effort to remix a song, so this should be recognized and appreciated in the first place! I find your remix quite interesting and in a way it suits my taste too. Although I wouldn't have immediately recognized it as a Paperboy remix if it hadn't been named that! 😉 The quality of the mixing and mastering could be improved. I think the arrangement is pretty good. You're on the right track. I definitely think there's enough potential here for more exciting and good sounding remixes and I would like to encourage you to keep at it and make more remixes for us to enjoy!
