I haven't worked on any original material for a while now, but I'd prefer to hone my technical skills rather than create nice melodies which get let down by sub-par synth sounds and drum patterns.
So I've recreated 'Avicii & Nicky Romero - Fuck School' as accurately as I could over 3 nights. And here are the results:
Avicii & Nicky Romero - Fuck School (Khaiyin Recreation) by Khaiyin
It was a really good learning experience! Just to name a few of the things I've learnt while doing this project:
- Melody pattern placement
- Drum pattern variations
- Synth creation and replication
- Use of white noise
- Proper use of Reverb and Delays
The original song doesn't have an actual release at the current time, so the source information was all from a ripped set. It was a bit hard trying to get the mix as accurate as possible using only a medium quality recording (with background noise) as reference. It also had mixes happening during the intro and outro... so I had to guess what was actually part of the song in those sections lol. Stereo information, sub-bass and treble were the most difficult things to judge. Hopefully this is accurate!
Thanks and enjoy :)
