@@drewgrit_nah fr it’s something a lot of people don’t even recognize unless they are involved with music production but texture is SO huge for how music makes us feel. You could play something with the exact same rhythm and if it didn’t have that stereo placement and warmth it just wouldn’t hit the same. That’s why so many beat remakes on KZread just don’t hit properly. I’m guessing Lido is so great at that because he uses a lot of analogue keyboards and equipment

For pitching Jordan’s vocals they probably used varispeed. Varispeed is a quick and easy way for you to quickly pitch the beat and bring it back to the original pitch. The best part about varispeed (specifically logic pro’s) you can varispeed the beat multiple times and record in each pitch and it will auto adjust the autotune and sound.

@drewgrit_

4 ай бұрын

Very good point my friend, varispeed is awesome. Particularly logics pros as you said! Interestingly enough lido uses Cubase which is one of the few DAWs that I have no experience with.

nice stuff! I think on that last glidey lead tho, using a simpler and an actual vocal for it instead of a sine wave/synth would have sounded a lot better. using the crossfade and looping effect and grabbing a small portion of Jordan's vocals it is most likely what Lido did. But I loved the video and will sub.

@drewgrit_

4 ай бұрын

Absolutely dude, it definitely could have been that method too! In lidos production videos on his channel he said he gets singers he works with to record a long note and adds it to a library to use for chords when he feels like it. It could definitely be from that, the only thing I’m not convinced of, is that it’s Jordan’s voice. It might be but it doesn’t sound quite the same to me, Jordan’s voice has a certain timbre that I think would maybe be more obvious. Thanks for the comment my friend💪

@@drewgrit_ I didn't know he did that, that's cool! So it could be anybody voice he has in his hard drive. But my guess, if it's for Jordan's project, it's either Jordan's voice or Lido's voice, for crediting purposes.

Replicating the sound is a combo of extensive research and my general producer ear/knowledge. In terms of chords, im not a music theory guy at all, I know very little haha So my method in this video was use a stem splitter website called Moises to pick out the synths/ guitar to hear them more clearly. Then I use that audio in Ableton with the convert harmony to midi function. Sometimes it works decently but still have to use my ear to fix it up. It regularly doesnt get chords correct at all lol Hope that helps my friend, its a bit of a nightmare honestly😂
