I have been hooked on the Audi commercial where the living room changes over time and at the end the Audi replaces the Benz. The music is sweet. I researched and found that the music was written for the commercial and therefore isn’t a real song and is only 1:02 long. So, I downloaded the mp3 from Audi’s [truthinengineering.com](http://truthinengineering.com) website, and messed with it to get a real song out of it. Stretched phrases and input new instrumentation to help with the build and release and give it an ending. It’s rough, as I need to tweak some things and adjust volumes and then gate/compress and mixdown. But you get the idea here: [Clicky](http://www.soundupload.com/audio/lfejeiyc8fa3s42l) Yes, I know it isn’t the best quality. I had some digital delay problems on my drums and I need to crossfade out some of the volume drop-outs. But it is much better through a real stereo and especially through old-schoool big headphones, since I split a lot of the stereo field up. And the upload lost some quality from the one on my CPU. I need to now step away from it for a few days and then come back to it fresh. ---

pretty interesting Lee. What program do you use for audio editing? I personally use Cubase / Protools ---

I use Cakewalk Sonar Pro Producer Edition for analog audio recording and midi sequencing. I link it to Propellerhead Reason for most of my samples and drum racks. If the song is 100% midi, I do it all from Reason and then import it to Cakewalk for vocals and analog instruments. I do post mix-down tweaks in Sony Sound Forge. I trigger with a master synth and Roland pads. And I have a rack of samplers with unlimited wav samples. I just don’t have that hooked up anymore as I’ve not done music stuff for a long time, so some of the samples on this track aren’t the most “real”-sounding. I have to even out some of the drops in audio with crossfades and pull out a few instruments here and there that have important transition our counterpoint parts that got lost in the mix. I’ll work on finishing it this weekend. ---

Thanks. To me, it sounded sick as in “awful”. But here is the final mixdown version. Changed a few things around. [Clicky](http://www.soundupload.com/audio/4wog1hxhqe3f38n0) **EDIT: A New remix was done tonight, Oct. 28th. The above link is now the latest mixdown where I EQ’d some things and added another brass instrumentation. If you listened to it prior to 11pm Tuesday, it is now different.** Sonny and Dom, here is a blast from your past… sort of. [Click for drum line music](http://www.soundupload.com/audio/osbj8e4xbdtwp1cb) Did a quick video with some old footage and newer pics and the Progress music.
