CONTEXT: I was recently in a musical performance at my school that featured songs from the 60s, and one of them was "Somebody To Love" by Jefferson Airplane. I woke up with a slap house remix of this song playing in my head, and I HAD to make this reality to send to the other cast members haha, so yesterday I worked on this throughout the school day and got it completed. I was so proud of how it came out that I felt like publishing it on here. I may or may not make more remixes of some of the other songs in the future, we'll see.
Original Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8zUawrwyAg
Note: I didn't have vocals to work with so I just put a lead in as a substitute for the vocal melody.
Thank you for the compliment and all the suggestions!
I was kinda wondering if I made the siren riser too loud in the buildup, glad someone confirmed that for me.
As for the drop, I tried my best to make brass stabs out of the preset I found, those are supposed to be brass stabs and not reese bass lol I don’t remember ever putting reese in the drop. But I'm quite glad to hear that a brass stab preset has been made, I'll definitely check yours out at some point and see if I can use it!
2. get of the reese bass in the drop. use a brass stab (i have a brass stab preset for heis look it up under my name) i used to do the same thing but then the slap bass is now competing. one bass is more slappy while the reese is one note played for 4 beats.
I added more of a transition into the second half of the drop, as well as a low siren riser to the second half of the drop. I'm not sure yet if I like this better or the original simpler setup better, but I'll publish it to see what people think.
We have GOT to get you a new laptop! Think of all the possibilities with greater processing!! I love this. You're doing amazing at developing your sounds, and you still stay true to your very awesome style! I love it! Keep up the fantastic work :) <3
AAH!!! Thank you so much!!! This comment made my night :D
I actually did get a new laptop (a Macbook) specifically for music production recently, it's what I’ve been using more often these days. I still use other people's presets, but I am trying to mix the sounds better and I'm glad it seeems to be evident!
I just felt like saying this, thanks @Icebox for getting me into slap house.
If it weren't for your slap house remix of Take My Breath, I wouldn't be where I am today lmao
Made it remixable (I find it funny cuz this is already a remix but have fun DtripleJ!)
ahhh i need to remix!!!
lowered volume of riser in intro, as well as siren riser in the build up, and took lower siren away completely in the second half of the drop
Wow ok this good a few suggestions?
