I found the stems to this but threw all away but the vocals.
Found the midi parts and then painstakingly re-built each track using my favourite VSTs.

So not a remix as such.
A technical exercise.

Oh bugger. They've removed it already!

 

but...but...what was the song though?

 

Rejected by soundcloud and mixcloud for copyright reasons

 

YouTube doesn't mind it!

 

Nice work! Everything vsts, nothing sampled? The three notes (E, C#, D) before "relax" sound super convincing. What did you use?

 

Very niceeee. The BD is all you though.

Love it.

Youtube eventually will flag the song and do one of two things: tell you the revenue from ads will go to the label (most labels have such deals with youtube) - or that the copyright owner requested removal and they will award you with a strike (some labels are nasty).

Also, you have no bass in the song - at least on laptop speakers. If you want to improve your technique, add this to the list: more upper content for basses, so they properly translate to small speakers.

 

I think it's obvious that the only purpose of using youtube is that it allowed me to upload unlike the other services.
Neither was I was I overly concerned about how the bass sounds on laptop speakers.

In a parallel universe where this wasn't just a hobby, then I'd let a mastering engineer worry about such things.

 

Look at that Space Invader dancin to the beat, so tight!

Nice, very good job. I really like how the vocals sit comfortably on top of the rest of the mix, it sounds a lot clearer than the original.
Personally I would like the bass (particularly the distinctive 'bow-bow-bow') to be a bit higher in the mix. Also the guitars could be a bit higher IMO.
But again, fantastic work. Thanks for sharing.
