ginseng mixes

this is an example of what happens when you turn something really shitty into something that's a little less shitty, and then you make an alternative mix that's probably on the same level of shittyness as the little less shitty one.
a couple of months ago, i was looking through the hundreds of loops i've made in reason. while what i had was shit, i accidently doubled the song's tempo. two sounds, the bass and a blipping synth run, actually sounded really good at that speed. i put them into a new reason rack and started over. that song became ginseng extract.
when i was done with that, i decided i really didn't like a lot of it, and i started almost over from scratch again. what i did was ginseng tripping mix.
neither of this are exactly what i was going for. which one do you like better?

first mix:

alternative mix:

and just for shits and giggles here is what i originally started out with. the first part is the whole loop i had done, then i isolated the bass and synth tracks at their original speed.

the washboard

this is a track i did maybe a year and a half ago. somebody told me it reminded them of crydamoure. guy-man, check out the filter! hit me up!!!

this time i remembered the sample. got it from ultimate breaks and beats vol. 1. sometimes when i'm lookin for tracks to load into recycle i skip the really well-known samples, but i bet nobody thought to flip indiscreet like this.

the sample:

what i did with it:

i'm not lovin you lovin you


i heard this sounded flat. actually it was my first kanye remix, contrary to be posted second. no sample here, other than the obvious. i also spent a lot more time on this one than the porn star edit. what's the verdict?


updates:
trying to learn abelton since i dled the latest cracked version. reason is cool, but if i'm going to be sporting a robot mask rocking out on top of a giant light pyramid in five years time i've gotta upgrade.
