drama queen (corgan mix)

This is the second mix of 'drama queen,' around 40 seconds worth. I went for a sort of 'Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness' era Smashing Pumpkins sound. The basic elements here are some slightly dirty guitar sounds, juxtaposed with some fairly clean polite high guitar lines, as well as a healthy dash of electronica in the drums & percussion. Listen for where I use a signal generator to make a short sine wave pitch of 48 Hz, generously coaxed with reverb. I only used it the signal generator twice, when the band first comes in, and at the start of the chorus. If you guys do look at this mix first thing in class (as was mentioned last audio arts) the signal generator is in the track called "floor buzz" or something. Although this is only 40 seconds, most of the work toward making the full song in this style mix is done really.
