The fourth Mix This project has started over at the Home Recording Review Forum <- referral link
This time the project is an hardcore/emo style rock song, fairly poppy and should be fun to mix. I used a bit to much Space Echo in mine, but sometimes too much is just right, especially when it comes to Space Echo. :)
Participate in the Mix This #4 project here: Mix This #4. It’s in the members only section so you must sign up to participate or get the files.

In my haste to post before anyone else did, I forgot to mention the ways you can purchase the album and what it includes.
This music arrived unexpectedly as the result of an experiment. The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as… something.
The team: Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder and myself with some help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. Rob Sheridan collaborated with Artist in Residence (A+R) to create the accompanying visual and physical aesthetic.
We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear we were on to something, and a lot of material began appearing. What we thought could be a five song EP became much more. I invited some friends over to join in and we all enjoyed the process of collaborating on this.
The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we’re able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed – from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we’ve ever created.
More volumes of Ghosts are likely to appear in the future.

After a series of very vague blog posts from Trent:
“Soon”
“Tick tock…tick tock…”
“2 hours”
The new album has been released (minutes ago). Titles Ghosts I-IV.
Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I – IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I – IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.
Trent Reznor explains, “I’ve been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn’t have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective – dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I’m very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts.”
You can listen to some online, and you can download the first 9 tracks in 320 kbps 100%DRM-Free Mp3.

remix.nin.com
After some delays from Universal Trent Reznor has launched remix.nin.com. Create, share, download, and listen to thousands of NIN remixes in this new community of user-generated creativity.
From the mix page of the site:
To expand the concept of the “remix record” we’ve decided to give you the tools to experiment with the remix process yourself. Included on this site are a variety of Nine Inch Nails songs available for download as multitrack audio files. They are available in some or all of the following formats:
- Garageband for Mac (works with Logic as well).
- Ableton Live for PC or Mac (free demo available here).
- Generic wave files at 16 bit 44k for any audio editor.
An explanation:
In the studio, we record everything in a multitrack format, separating all the parts onto different “tracks” that can be manifested individually. These tracks are then mixed down to two tracks – left and right (stereo) – that arrive to you in the form of a CD or MP3. We’re giving you all of the individual multitracks that were used to create the stereo ones you know. By loading those tracks into the appropriate multitrack application of your choice, you can remix and manipulate the original parts to your liking.
On a Mac, Garageband is the easiest way to check the process out. Simply load a song and hit the space bar – then start pushing buttons and see what happens. Ableton Live is an application that we use a lot for composing. It runs on Mac and PC so we’ve offered some songs in that format for your convenience. The generic wave files are included for those who use any other program that can load wave files (which should be all of them, Mac or PC).
Click “Download Multitracks” above to get the files and start playing around. Multitracks of every song from Year Zero in Garageband, Ableton, and wave formats are included on the CD/DVD version of Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.
When you have a mix ready to go, click on “Upload Remix” above to add it to the site.
There are currently 9 NIN and 2 Saul Williams multitracks. Trent recently produced Saul Williams’ album Niggy Tardust, which is free on niggytardust.com
