Stadium Love by Metric

For my next project I want to use the scratcher and change the song from kinda pop music to rock music half way through the song. I want to use the scratch to make the song sound like it is going back wards and goes in to remix mode. I will make it sound good.

OK GO Remix

To start the OK GO remix I started off, to cut the guitar part up and move the section I use to the start. The guitar is playing out of your right speaker mostly. I want to have the guitar on the right and drums on the left. The guitar part go for four ma shires then the drums fades in to the song. You can make something fade in by clicking on the audio clip and going to channels. At the bottom of SMP there is numbs that say In, Out, Pogo, CRF, Trim. In fades in and out fades out. The drums plays mostly out of the left speaker. The drums are also cut up from the regular piece. As the drums fade in,I have "whiteknocks" singing. Through out the song I cut up the lyrics and move them around in the song. When the drums are fully faded in, I have an other singing part come in that I cut up from different parts of the lyrics. I add a fruit free filter to that part to make the sound a little deep and wet sound. Next came the main lyrics, synth, main guitar part, bass and kick drum.The drum part I have fades out at the end later in the song, then the main drum part comes in. Synth is from OK GO but I had a volume control to it and had the synth fade in and out at certain points. I also you a volume control on the drums to cut out some of the parts with out cutting the drum part up to much more. For the lyrics I add a chorus and delay bank. the delay bank is use for the last word he sings, sing a little longer. Just to drag the word out. I just use a little feedback, its hard to hear it when he is sing. When he does stop, you can tell the last word is being dragged out more then the other words. The chorus is to help the singer voice. It sounded to plain, and boring to me, with out any affects. I also use the synth to help add affect to the lyrics. Having it fade in and out fast when the singer's voice goes high and back to low. Besides cutting the lyrics up a little and affects, I didn't do to much to the lyrics. At the end of the song I have the guitar part fade out also. I just use the volume control again for that part. That is about it. If you have any question, just comment below low.

OK GO White knocks remix

first part of ok go

I only really worked on the first part of the song and still remixing most of it.

Friday nights live

The way I made the song and the detials will be posted tonight

kanye west love lock down

This was my longest and hardest project by far, but it was really fun for the most part remixing it. Try many things and found what worked and what didn't worked. My first time going at the project I try to cut and past everything and just move stuff around well that didnt work so well. there where up and down to it but over all sounded really bad. Then my second time going at the project turn out to be the better remix. My first step was turning all of the bass, guitar, distortion, etc off but the lyric part. I star the song off with a synth and just build up on it. I had a mix of guitar, bass, drums, high hats, kick and synth all in the song. I made the synth come in and out to had affect to it and it had a really cool sound to it when it did. synth went through the whole song just about, I did cut it off for the guitar and bass and the spots with no music to add more affect to the guitar and bass or to add more affect to the lyrics. Everything else is kinda straight forward. Few more things though I did add a chorus and a delay to the lyrics. the delay was very very calm though. When there is no music playing it is add affect to the lyrics too. Secondly if you try or do remix songs by downloading off line make sure when the voice goes up that the music goes up too. I had a hard time with that. That alone maybe took me a total amount of class time to get it the best I can. Finally try many different things, patters, ways to remix the song etc etc till you fine the best way. There are a lot of different ways to remix a song and don't always go with your first choice, if you second guess anything try something new. Well I hope everyone enjoys the song and good luck to you if you try. Thanks

Love Locked Down Remix

Semester 2 first project ---- Kanye West remix: Love lockdown

Remixing love lockdwon is not that hard. So far I cut up the voice the way I want him to sing the song and move the bass, his distorted voice, and the piano around to come in at a different time of the song. I put a chorus on his voice and a delay on the ending of each section he sings. I don't want to add to much to the song just want to remix it with the sounds and patterns he use to show how much more better it could have sound. So far I use everything but the drums. I maybe use the drums or I maybe just make my own pattern and add that to the song. I shooting to post the song by next week.

Day 5

Day 4

Today I made a bass part for my song and it seems my song is coming together very good. I add more bass to the kick drum to add more affect to the song. If you click on the kick drum in view step sequencer then go to MISC you can add more bass sound by turning the pitch numb on the top and/or turn the number up on the left side of it. I put it at ten because I don't want it to be too strong or weak. It will be posted by next class (1/13/10)

Day 3

Today I wokred on making my second synth and making it fit with my song. My second synth sounds kinda the same as my first synth but at a higher pitch. Inside useing gost channel and making it play the same pater as synth one I'm trying to make a pattern that goes with the beat of the song and help my first synth out. I'm hoping project be done by next class.

Day 2

Today in class I made my drum pattern. It is a very sumple pattern but it goes well with my synth pattern. I add the synth pattern after making the drum pattern and it seem a little easier to fine a good pattern using the riff machine. I say it is a little easier to pick a pattern from the riff machine when you have your back round sound down. Now I'm trying to finish up my seconf sytrus sound and I'm going to go with the AABA pattern again like project 6. The reason to do the same pattern is I can make the middle of the song a faster beat with a easy change over with my drum pattern. Hopefully everything comes out nice.
