Ok, so this isn't my best work. I don't know what it is, but i can't remix songs very well. It makes me feel like im just messing up the song and that it sounds worse. So I kept the Drums, Vocals, and piano from the original, mostly unchanged, though i went through the vocoder many times with the vocals, trying to make Kanye soound weird. Apart from making him sound like a female alien, most of the stuff didn't come out right. So I ended up just having the vocals go through the vocoder without much change, except a bit louder and more filling. Anyway. I got rid of the bass part, and replaced it with a generic kick drum, with a clap at the end. At the Love Lockdown chorus parts, i changed the kick drum into all clapping sounds. I also used a VibraSnap thingamajig. It makes a rattlesnake like sound, you know, those things. That plays every other kick loop, or every loop during the chorus. I used Boobass to add a little bass to it, and its also the squeaking sound throughout the song. I put it all through the greatest named channel ever, the Sound Gooderizer. I mean, thats an awseome name right? It made everything sound louder and richer and generally better.
Not my best work, but hope you guys like it.

Good start with the kick drum and vibraslap, but that beeping sound is really annoying. It has nothing to do with the song, and doesn't add anything. It's not even in the right key.
ReplyDeleteAfter a while, the vibraslap gets annoying too. Use special effects carefully- once is enough.
Your task was to make this mix your own. I don't hear anything that you added to it that made it better. You could have added a synth part, or a bass or even a different drum groove.
Adding a beep and a vibraslap doesn't constitute a remix.
I like it Alex. I thought it was extremely original, then listened to the other students remixs and noticed some of the things were just parts of the song. None the less I liked it enough to comment. I agree with Mr. Rabuse, the vibraslap is annoying... I think the beeping is fine, just the slightest tad too loud. I think the bass/kick drum in the deep background would be a nice addition if you turned it up. Overall it was very smooth, unlike mine, which is nice. At 0:35 the vocals get a bit distorted, and I Love that. And they still fit with the song, unlike the vocals in my remix. It does seem like not a great deal was changed though, you should have just distorted absolutely everything like I did. XD "Love Lockdown (Harsh Remix)"
