SONG TITLE: All of My Lights (2:54)
For this week 3 project, I really concentrated on using the audio to midi function and the panning/mixing techniques that Erin showed us. The hardest part was building my drum track around the sample of my favorite horns arrangement; you will know it when you hear it in the middle section I am sure – it is famous. Then I layered a number of instruments (that are panned) based on that audio to midi conversion and merge them into the arrangement recording through session scenes.
I then played around with a vocal sample from the same song sample and did another audio to midi conversion. I used Ableton’s Vocosyn for the track and this time I ran it through AutoTune 7 and finally through Ableton’s chorus effect. This created a really cool accompaniment to the lead vocal sample and I solo it before the sample enters the song.
I really wanted to polish this song but I had an eventful personal life this last week and a half that kept me away from Ableton. I am actually posting this version right near the Friday deadline. Hopefully, I didn’t do too badly on this song’s delivery but I definitely will be tinkering with this long after this class is over because it’s a fan “remix” of one of my favorite songs and I want to do justice to it eventually.

LISTENING TIP: Definitely listen to this song with headphones. You will instantly hear all the panning effects and tricks I used. Definitely a better experience. For some reason they aren't as pronounced through my home stereo system for some odd reason.

As I listen to this more and more I added too many vocal samples in the middle section (too busy). I should have stuck with the main one. But I barely had a minute left to submit for a grade. Wish I had more time to fix this for the class.

Lol When I exported the preview audio I must have highlighted the end too short because the upload does let that last note fade out! Oops.

someday after this class I am going to clean the samples up in that middle section

I kept the vocal samples in more the background because I didn't have pure solo samples so I had to hide the original song bleeding over.
