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.
