Any self made edits you made to prince's music?

I chopped down cloreen bacon skin toa ti ght funky 8 minutes.

I chopped down Crystal Ball ( but now I can't live without the full verson...but i still cut out the annoying whistle in the beginning)

On the SOTT concert in paris, that little funky ditty in the middle of ITS GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, i extended that ,which was only a few bars, to a 3+ minute instrumental jam

I cut out Prince's raps in 2 the 9's, extended the scream runs at the end.


I "Camilled" some songs. I "DeCamilled" some songs.

what have yall done? ( i know quite a few of yall "remaster" i havent got that deep yet )

I deleted all of Solo.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

i sampled lots of swearing from other records and re-edited all the post emancipation albums so they could have parental advisory warning labels. the rainbow children is a particularly interesting listen.. it has guest raps from jay z, eminem and other rappers than everyone else has forgotten about since their 15 minutes of fame on yo mtv raps

Had to break Lovesexy down to individual songs so I could burn mixed cds of those songs, but that's pretty much all I've done w/ the exception of removing Chocolate Box & TNBALM from Mplsound.

I removed that stupid computer voice speech from the start of Family Name. Much better now. Also once did a version of Daisy Chain without the rapper in it for a fellow orger.

yeah, myself and my brother in law done a lets work mix, adding extra beats to beef it up a bit, took out that really annoying crowd and sample bits, and the explosion sound too. we slowed $ down a bit, lowering the pitch to remove the Camille voice, and the best was ol skool company, we lowered the pitch again to get princes real voice more evident, chopped a bit from the middle and added it onto the end of the track in a looped fade out, we also put the ooh from the start of musicology and looped it in a bit too. its lots of fun and really enhances, in my opinion some songs!

I used a program to cut out Larry's "DO YOU LOVE GOD?" chant in "Everyday Is A Winding Road". It blended perfectly and it's SUCH a stronger song. I still haven't edited "Temptation", but I plan to. I only listen to track 15 of The Rainbow Children, so no edits there.


As a side note: because there are other versions/remixes of songs from the COME album, I made a playlist in iTunes of the alternate versions, but in the same track order.

Come (the other "band" version, not the "dance" version)
Space (Acoustic)
Pheromone (Album)
Loose! (video version)
Papa (album)
Race (I think I used the longer video version)
Dark (So Dark from Crystal Ball)
Solo (album)
Letitgo (one of the remixes from the maxi)
Orgasm (album)

lol

cuz i'm always 'at it' on my stuff-i dont have time to mess with P's stuff

I just do the lazy thing-and download other folks remasters etc

That's cool...I haven't done anything. I always wanted a mixer so that I could mess around with things a bit...not yet...

I'd rather play my piano and guitar than play with existing records.

Strictly speaking you don't really need a mixer thesedays to mess with tunes. A sequencing programme and a half decent sound card and your away. The EQ'ing is fairly basic to what a decent mixer gives-but hey-everyones got a computer and there is free software out there

I did a edit of the unreleased Prince and The Revolution's The Dance Electric. Originally 11 or 12 minutes long, I turned it 2 a 4 or 5 minute edit of the song based on the Andre Cymone version. It's cool 2 listen.

I recently took out the gap and made one song out of SST/Brand New Orleans.

I did a mashup of the 'Come On' acapella with the instrumental of Craig Mack's 'Flava In Ya Ear'. I titled the mix 'Come In Ya Ear'.

i reversed darling nikki all the way,which backwards sounds like a metal rock song

which program did you use to revers that backwards bit, i'd love to do that!

i've been inspired by this thread to create a new mashup of track 4 from rave un2 the joy fantastic and track 18 on the rainbow children

Does BNO carry on directly from SST, i thought SST faded out. i'll have to try that one, sounds like it would be great.

squirrelgrease said:

there were instructions on how to edit SST and brand new orleans together online a while back. you had to fade one into the other at a certain point and it would work seemlessly. i can't find the instructions, but i still have the lossless version i did back in the day in 1862 or whenever it was

this craft is completely unknown to me.

But I did delete the dreadfull "the morning after".
Such an annoying song
