I’ve mentioned Brad Sucks before, and over the last few days, I’ve somehow gotten really interested in remixing stuff with free audio tools. I remixed a Brad Sucks track called “Making Me Nervous” and made a video for it just to prove to myself that I could do it with nothing but free tools. It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but hey, it’s done.

The only tools used for this were:

• Audacity
• Mixmeister BPM analyzer
• Hydrogen Advanced Drum Machine

Thanks to the free download of the “Making Me Nervous” source files, the job was mostly cutting, pasting, and arranging. The only thing that I actually had to create was the drum track, which contains a healthy dose of cowbell. The video is just a couple of minutes of video shot out of the sunroof with a cell phone, so the quality is on the low side, but you do the best you can with what you’ve got.

My “Making Me Nervous” Remix Video

If you want to hear the original version of “Making Me Nervous”, you can download it for free over at BradSucks.net. Brad encourages remixing of his stuff, and with so many free and relatively easy to use tools available, why not take a shot at a remix of your own?
