In your opinion, what qualifies a remix to be put on the audio portal? In my opinion there are all too many lame remixes on the portal with users taking credit for their ruined version of an otherwise good song. The only remixes I can find that I think are worthy of praise and being called a remix (rather than a ripoff) are ParagonX9's, because she doesn't just take the instruments from the midi and give them random synthesizers. She adds to the song with her own DnB patterns as well as emphasizing original melodies in new ways so to give them an emotion different from their original intentions. Plus, she's pretty fucking good at mixing.
I ask because I've tried doing remixes in the past but I've never really been happy with them. I submitted some on my old account but all my music on that account was shit (so I wont get into that :P), and they weren't really special. What do you guys want to see in a remix? Do you even consider remixes valid to begin with?
