Unknown Rockstar Remix 2

The second remix in this series. After looking at videos on youtube about people using Audacity to make remixes, I tried my hand at it. It's not very easy, and found myself frustrated pretty quickly. So this is a short song. My idea was to take some samples from here:

And incoroporate into some of Sam's tracks which you can find here:

Potato Pickel is a plucky guitar track that stuck out to me, so I went with that. Then I sorted through the PIYN tracks and settled on some sounds from the "mik chek" samples, and tried to compose a new work. I think the result is interesting, but I found it difficult to work with Audacity to layer in a lot of small tracks. Some of the tracks I was copying in from another open window of Audacity, and for some reason the first second or so of the sound was not being played after pasting it in. I found if I generated a bit of silence right before the track I had just pasted in, and then joined those two tracks, I could get the sound to come back. I'm not sure if it's a bug or what, but it would be tedious work to put together a large compisition in Audacity. I thought about firing up Rosegarden, and seeing how that works, but I just don't have time at the moment to get up to speed with all that requires. So I learned from this remix, that using audacity to layer 2 - 3 tracks is good, but for much more, and for very intricate mixing, it's difficult to use. For me anyway.

Anyhow, I called the new track I created "In The Neighborhood"... of a beat.
