alright, now this is just flexing on us now, what a great remake, down to an absolute T, not only are the synths bang on, but even the subtle delays and reverbs and random panning of the main synth, this is such a perfect remake!
This is absolutely incredible. I searched up this topic as I used to produce many moons ago, when this song just came out and I was wondering the progress on how “home producers” have advanced, and I’m amazed at this one!!!
There's really people complaining about the people complaining about the FLP not being free. A remake of a song. I'm not bitching, I'd literally pay for an FLP of strobe to play with, but dayum.
About 13 hours in total. But before I started, I researched in to finding the right samples - spending hours digging through old deadmau5 stream VODs where he shows off his projects. Transcribing everything took a while too.
Great remake! Where did you find the "shaker Ambience" sample?? ive been trying to find it forever EDIT: Any way you can also tell me the sample for the "Impact Additive" sound?
What I find weird with the whole production in itself of the original is the clap to snare change, like it starts with you typical pre-shifted clap crunch Joel usually does, and is now a modern stable in progressive house, and more of his "progressions" in the progressive house genre at the time would be layering added percussions or similar elements like layered snaring, if you catch it you can hear it, like on not exactly (there is added snare sample in like the third section), faxing berlin (there is an added POW snare which you can hear singled out on the mix out of the track at the end, it comes in halfway through the track), some kind of blue (there is some kind of vengeance that sneaks in the middle section), and even on "GhOsTs N StUfF" that exact same snare sample is mixed in with a pre shift to give that, umf, but isn't on the original instrumental version, what he does here is does that he just changes the that clap to that thunk snare, but the snare is pre shifted just slightly before the kick on the 2, its just something I noticed and sometimes does this on some future tracks post strobe, but its more, abundant now, like xyz, where the thunk snare just overlaps the clap, interesting choice I guess in terms of structure...
I'm not very familiar with music theory but I think the A note at the beginning of the second repetition of the organ melody towards the breakdown and refrain of the song needs to be replaced with an E (higher). That's just my opinion though.
6:27 I dont have the $5 to get the FLP right now, but I have always wondered how that organ sound is created. Could you give me a small breakdown of the sound? This is the best remake hands down.
