Off to Swedish lessons in a min... but thought I'd do a quick blog about the morning. I did a bit of website updating to start the day and then spent a few hours working on a vocal track for a remix we've been asked to produce.
Basically is a remix of 'video star'... the classic pop-tastic tune that was out in the 80s.. if think? We are doing a mainstream remix, 4 on the floor with vocals on top. Sounds easy, but then we looked into some reference tracks and began discovering how complex some of the dance tracks our these days!
We looked a the Lady Gaga track 'Lets Dance', Mat managed to get hold of an acapella version and wow... its full of vocals! Lots of harmonies, reply lines, delays and basically a song in itself! Sounds amazing!
So this morning has involved me recording various vocal lines and building up the vocal tracks. At the last look I have around 20 tracks of vocals! Obviously a lot of the lines are double tracked, harmony lines and strange little noises! lol.
I plan to get the guide track done by this eve and then upload for the vocalist (Emma) to have a listen to and comment back to us. We use SOUNDCLOUD for sharing tracks with clients. I love the way that you can upload them and just invite specific users to view and/or download the tracks. Its so useful!
I guess I should really add some screen shots and things like that... give me time, it will come. I wonder if anyone is reading this? I sort of feel like I am writing to myself! haha. (First sign of Crazyness???)
Spk soon, AndyC
