THE BEST REMIX OF Seven Nation Army EVER HEARD
|
No Headings, This makes it complicated to understand where everything is put in the article.
Not too many screen shots. Screen shots are important in the work so then you can proove that you have actually done some of the work in cubase.
Not Enough Detail
Not Keeping formal tone
Punctuation Mistakes
For the sound lesson we were asked to remix 1 of 3 songs they include:
Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana Do not use lists in this circumstance
Seven Nation Army- White Stripes
Happy- Pharrell Williams
We could either do use a House, Dance and or Reggae style. For this project I chose Seven Nation Army in a Reggae style.
To begin with I looked at the original song. ,The original song is This is memorable for its catchy and simple drumbeat and its Guitar style.
For inspiration I looked up an already existing remix of Seven Nation Army in the a reggae style (it wasn’t the best). This gave me the motivation to do a better version of the other remix. I then put in the original song in the track so then you can tell that it is Seven Nation Army.
Getting to Cubase I looked up different instruments and styles that traditional reggae singers would use in their work. I then Then I changed the track sound to a muted guitar Bass and a Steel Drum. I then started on trying to make reggae beat. Not enough detail
During it the remix I rearranged some of the notes for example I rearranged the vocals so it was played Playing more than once. I then got the sheet music I then got to downloading the sheet music, filled out the rest into Cubase. I then proceeded to input the notes in cubase.
The employment that was involved in this remix involved a client-hired people to do a remix. The difference between a client and an employer involves, an employer pays other people to pay you, in a way they are higher in the food chain. A client is a customer or a receiver that pays people for different things.
The different techniques that I used in the this track was the used different phrasing of the notes most of them were phrased different from the original version. This is sometimes a good thing so then you can hear the original in the remix. To keep the notes in order I also used quantization, only reason I needed to sort the notes outs means that I used the keyboard to input the notes which means I manually fed the notes through.
I used dynamics to accent the notes to then it makes the notes sound better and to make sure that it sounds, most of the dynamics that I used were more louder than anything I also changed some keys to make it sound more alive. I
Other type of techniques that I used in the creation was the Programme changing for the synthesis. This is also linked the phrasing of the notes that were used in the remix. This is a quick example of what I used in the remix.
One I also used the technique velocity. This is good so then you could tell the loudness of the style. This is a thing that I used a-lot in the remix, it made it sound better and less like the original.
To make the sound of the notes to sound a little bit different to the original I transposed the notes that made it sound different to the original. The last thing that I did was adding the vocals to the track. I looked up on the internet different ‘Seven nation army vocals only’ and then added it to cubase. When I made the remix the majority or things stayed the same like the accuracy of pitch which I didn’t really change the pitch as much I could've because reggae isn’t the easiest to change the pitch.
When I inputted the notes into cubase I used different types of notes in the expression in the making of each of them thing that I inputted. I used chords on the first half, then used individual notes. The expressions that I used in the notes were accents and used grace to do really make the rhythm stand out.
Another technique that I used in creating the remix is called real time input. This is essentially inputting the notes by the external keyboard that is supplied. I did also use step time input for when I wanted to put something in by hand but I didn’t rely on that all of the time, I used it when I didn’t really need to do anything in real time.
In the remix the one thing that I didn’t think that went the best was the balance between reggae and another music genre. I believe that I was crossing the line very lightly, If I was to redo it I would have stuck to the reggae style and try not to wonder off to a different style of music. The vocals I downloaded from the song weren’t the best in quality, this is probably why the vocals are a bit overpowering to the ears so then it is harder to hear the actually remix itself.
The type of audience that my remix is going to appeal to would mainly be the younger audience. This being that they would know the song and it they might come to appreciate a reggae style remix.
If we were to release the remix to the public and it was being marketed, it would be good and produce some money. Most people like the song seven nation army and they most people love a reggae, this is good thing which would allow the person who actually made the remix a bit more of a profit.
For the different types of genres that could have been used includes Jazz, World music and Classical. These genres include different types in the way that they are played.
Seven nation army by White stripes is revolutionary, this is because the original track's bassline.
When it is compared to sales. The original track of seven nation army sold more than the remix. This maybe because people maybe not like the reggae feel to the song and probably not going to like the remix because they would prefer the original other than a remix that someone has done.
Saying that, from my research. I have found out that most people like the feel and style of a reggae rhythm rather than a rock rhythm.
TLDR;
This remix is extremely complex, this has a lot of style and charisma. On keeping to the original I have also added aspect of the reggae genre.
