Alan Parsons Project - Time (808's Extended Mix)

It's funny, but this song was always one of my favorite APP songs of all time (with the possible exception of "Eye in the Sky"). I always liked the wistfulness of the lyrics, and the gentleness of the melody. This is truly a wonderful and beautiful masterpiece.

I was partially inspired for this mix, by the Dreamtime mix of "Eye in the Sky". I did some looking around, and managed to get ahold of a demo mix of this song, so I added in elements from this demo version (which is piano, drum, and bass only) and crossfaded it with the original track.

The running time for this masterpiece is a glorious 9 minutes and 53 seconds of pure bliss.

I will be posting another Alan Parsons Project mix soon. Stay tuned.

HOW MY MIXES ARE DONE

I use the following software:

SONIC FOUNDRY ACID: For editing, cutting, splicing, and crossfading elements of the mix together.

NERO WAVE EDITOR: For isolating vocals, the karaoke filter in this program is amazing.

AUDACITY: For any additional editing the finished mix might need.

Usually, I will take several sources to a song (different mixes, or an instrumental) and splice these together. Where there is an instrumental I will usually use that to source an acapella from the original mix. Sometimes I will get wild and add flange effects, or even other percussive sounds, to the mix as well.
