[@jacobjimmie7500]

Hey man, this sounds great. I would pleased if you did the whole album. You made this song sound so much better. Production and the sound of the keys. Top notch my man.

[@PanicLift]

thank you so much! I may try a few more! I will follow up post if i do

[@AceMcCloud1000]

@@PanicLift I second this, please do the whole album!!

[@ThunderTHR]

Absolutely love the sound, provides a definite punch to Transgression. Would totally love to see a Remix of Contagion. :)

[@TrulyStucker]

Fuuuuuuuuuck!!! Superior!! 540.000 Degrees PLEASE!!

[@michaelmoreno9627]

Stucker he needs to do the whole album....fix this one a little too but SO KILLER. The drums are way better you can hear better panning of the kicks.

[@Jakob-B]

Dunno why so many people hate on the Transgression album, i like it actually!.

[@joselopez6990]

I’ve heard some of the songs it’s actually not bad

[@birdbern]

I would love to see the full album done like this! While the fundamentals of Transgression are strong, the execution ruins the ideas.

[@PanicLift]

Thank you, and I may try a few more. yes, i agree. I was hesitant to do this, because I didn't want to come off like i Dislike the record, It's just that i do see the potential of some great songs that just needed a little more time to mature.

[@AdrianDragassakisOfficial]

This is pure gold! Thanks for sharing! Looking for more FF stuff here

[@PanicLift]

Thank you!

[@BUTIJA666]

Very good man! Thank you! Good to know there's people who cares about this album! You could make a longer version of this song, it's too good to be only 3:50 hahahaha

[@MrPsychoticguy2099]

I agree, its a minute shorter than the original and it feels like it has ended too soon. I could say the same for the Supernova remix as well.

[@BUTIJA666]

@@MrPsychoticguy2099 Yeah man! Too good to end so soon xD! But it is a very good remix

[@AceMcCloud1000]

Gets two thumbs up from me, sounds like it got a much needed face-lift. Definitely interested in the rest of the album!

[@PanicLift]

thank you so much!

[@jaimuzyka3177]

Holy fuck, it sounds the way it’s supposed to sound

[@WBGT007]

Honestly, I love this. I'd love to see you do the whole album as many others have said. I totally agree with your comment!! There's so much potential with this album that just never came out. Do you have like a patreon or something to support you doing this??

[@PanicLift]

Thank you so much!! There is a playlist on my main channel page for these FF mixes, just subscribe to that and you'll get notifications. I just posted 'empire' there a few days ago. No patreon, I don't want to run into any legal issues if any money is exchanged, but if you want to support my art feel free to stream or check out my band - panic lift - paniclift.bandcamp.com

[@WBGT007]

​@@PanicLift dude there's some awesome stuff on there. I'm really enjoying this, but it's my birthday today and I thought I'd cheekily ask if you'd consider doing your magic on the track My Grave. It didn't make the core album but fuck me was it the best on there. Can't help a bit of shameless guilt tripping but I've enjoyed this so much I'd love to see what you can do with my grave.

[@PanicLift]

@WBGT007 all good!! My plan, if I do manage to get the whole album done would be to sub the covers with 'my grave' ' 'empire' and 'ammunition'

[@nck9755]

This sounds really good, gives it a really spacey sound - though it feels a bit cut short haha

[@PanicLift]

@nck9755 yeah I gutted ever part that repeated more than once. Felt like it felt less copy and pasted. But I do realize short songs are kinda of more my personal preference! So my bad! Lol

[@jayrobinson5014]

This is epic shit! Please do the rest of the album

[@GodEater1313]

The drumming sounds soooooo much better here. Well done keep it up.

[@Maggai]

Saw this on twitter, and this is really well done! Eau better than the album! Can't save that guitar tone unfortunately 😢

[@PanicLift]

@Maggai got a nice bump from dino's quote so that is much appreciated. Thought I'd just share my 2cents. I did try to fix the guitars, I layered impact soundwork's shreddage in thier going through dino's distupter effect processor but it was almost too precise, so I worked the original guitars back in.

[@Maggai]

@@PanicLift Ah, gotcha!! There's something about that album tone that just disturbs my ears, or my brain heh

[@t0ko]

wow, this is brilliant!

[@PanicLift]

@@t0ko thank you!

[@SinisterIcon]

This sounds amazing, wish the album sounded like that. Well, as others said, the synths could be taken down a notch. Still: love it. Looking forward to other songs, esp Contagion and My Grave.

[@zonic26]

This sounds amazing, though I'd think the original ending would've been phenomenal if you kept that in with this touch up

[@PanicLift]

Thank you! i realize it's heavily influenced by my personal preference so I can totally understand that!

[@drakonolus7922]

Sounds pretty neat this Remix of yours and very good. I think the original album production sounds pretty good and solid, may be not perfect, but still sounds like a real Fear Factory record. The only bads from this album are the bad desicions and choices at how to do it inside the musical writing process, specially if it were rushed so bad because of the Record Label.

[@PanicLift]

I think there are some great ideas, that were unfortunately rushed!

[@blackefeltsch7459]

Interesting even though I like the steely sound of the original.

[@michaelmoreno9627]

Hey Panic, These sound great. Empire needs the progressive blast parts still. You cut out some key parts. But I enjoy this alot. Sounds how the album should have been. But you can cut out Echoes of my scream and but do My Grave and Ammunition with any vocals you could put in AI style

[@henrywalton5967]

Please do rhe whole album!!! Maybe lower the synths in the mix slightly.

[@PanicLift]

thank you so much. I think i got too excited getting the synth sounds back into the mix. they seemed to washed away on this album i probably over compensated! I will make sure to lower them slightly in the next version

[@henrywalton5967]

@@PanicLift that's understandable haha! Btw I'm not sure if this would help your project but someone has just remastered the entire album! kzbin.info/aero/PLUvP2T-hahVlIFdTAXnMmVqnAqRBnn7zN&si=IHmevxRM9c5fnHpt There is also a download link in the comments of the first video :)

[@PanicLift]

This is very cool. Sounds like it has more punch. It's a little different from what I'm attempting here, but more ears on this album the better! For stems, it's probably best I work with the less compressed original, but his version is great to listen to!

[@henrywalton5967]

@@PanicLift how can you get the stems, are you using a program/AI for that?

[@PanicLift]

Yes, im using an AI website, it gets the basic stuff but a lot i have to recreate to be able to mix correctly. It would be a lot easier if i had the real stems, but i think thats impossible!

[@jaimuzyka3177]

I have a question, is there a pośliniliby of you uploading this remix in instrumental?

[@mnemesiiis]

Great work, but in my opinion the lead synths are WAY too loud and harsh, I'd lowpass them and tuck them back a bit so that they offer more atmosphere and texture rather than forward presence, as I find them quite distracting. However, the way you incorporated more industrial elements, brought clarity to the mix and brought the vocals to a clear level with the harmonies is absolutely wonderful.

[@PanicLift]

thank you so much for the kind words! I think I was aiming for an over-driven synth string similar to the intro to 'demanufacture' but I think I went an octave higher than I should have. I think that lead to the harshness on the high end. thanks for your feedback and in my next pass on the mixdown I'll certainly address it. I hope to do a few more than post them in a playlist and when i do, I'll be sure its an adjusted version. thanks!

[@mnemesiiis]

@@PanicLift Ooh, wicked! Are you going to do any of the other songs as well? Either way, looking forward to it- I also checked a few of your original pieces and intend to do a deep dive of your discography lmao

[@PanicLift]

Im working on 'empire' now, it would he cool to do the whole album but its a lot of work so i dont want to make any promises! And i appreciate you checking out my tunes! Enjoy!

[@cyanideanima]

Pretty cool. Though the production overall still sounds muffled and cloudy compared to a modern FF mix. Drums are also kinda boxy and flat. Need the low mids to be carved in the guitars to let the drums punch through there. FF kiks need to punch you in the mouth. The drums overall feel too flat and thin. Vocals a bit too loud and disconnected from the music. But overall it's a cool vision.

[@PanicLift]

Definitely would have been easier to do with the actual stems and dry tracks. So I get it. When I do the final download I'll take your suggests in mind when prepping the final mix! Thanks! I'm hobbyist, so this is always good practice!
