Farmhaus Records Remix finished (finally)

Well, it took me... like... forever to finish my remix for Farmhaus Records (which is something I try NEVER to do, especially when a new label is asking for music... it's best to make, oh I don't know, a good impression, perhaps?) But Mr. Jones was extremely patient and gave me the room I needed to get the track done right.

Basically, when one of my hard drives crashed months back, the data on the drive was unrecoverable and I hadn't backed up my projects for a little over a month when it happened. I had started that remix within that month and I was nearing completion at the time of the crash. So all in all, I lost all of the work on the remix. I now have a Time Machine backup drive that backs up all of my data regularly so this type of failure won't happen again.

Starting up the remix had me a crossroads. I had already spent so much time with the sounds at the time of the crash, and starting over wasn't very appealing. I was ready to move on and instead, I had to start over. So the question then became "Do I try to recreate what I had done" or "Do I start fresh and take it in a different direction?" I opted for the latter approach which ended up being the right decision.

I'm extremely happy with the result. I'm not at all happy with the time it took for me to wrap it up, though. But what can you do. I didn't want to submit a sub-par remix, and Mr. Jones understood that as well.

I'm not sure right now when the release date for the track, entitled "Ambre Dor" will be, but I will most certainly keep you posted. And a big BIG thanks to the folks at Farmhaus for the opportunity to try something new.
