Porter Robinson - Sad Machine remake
« on: March 27, 2016, 02:45:20 pm »
I got bored a week or two ago and made this in a couple of days, not finishing but thought I'd share here:

Way to go dude! That's right on. Definitely curious what the main side-chained synth is in the chorus parts.

This is scary accurate.
I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to remakes haha - I think attempting fully accurate remakes is amazing practice for training your ear both musically and production-wise. It forces you to figure out your own techniques in order to achieve certain sounds or overall atmospheres

I think you managed to get not only the notes but the mix as well. Is there an acapella out there of the vocals? The vocaloid sounds literally just the same. Even the harp & main lead motif. I had seen that the main lead motif was a preset somewhere in FL studio but I never took the time to figure out how to recreate it in other daws. I think you got it spot on,

This is so good man... great job!

Do you think you could go through the main chords sound and the drums?  I've been trying to do a remake myself and make music in a similar style but i am having difficulty finding the drums

The kick in the choruses is just a sub I made in harmor, and then a generic transient kick with a high-to-low pitch envelope to make it less prominent and more quick to decay!

Haha fuck, it's damn near identical! Would be fun to hear some details on how you created these synths?

Musique looks fancier

There's a lot of detail in this, anything specific you guys want to know? I'll do my best, it's a bit hard describing it.

If it comes to it, I might just upload the project file (w/o the vocal stems of course). but before then, does anybody have specific questions?
