Hypehat remixes The Beatles in here.

[hypehat]

Afternoon, all.

In The Beatles Rock Band Thread, I posted this - it's George Harrison singing Something on the backing track played by Booker T & The MGs, from their instrumental cover of Abbey Road, McLemore Avenue.

Luckily they don't cover Maxwell's Silver Hammer 

I think I'm going to do the rest in the same vein - I'm working on Mclemore's first track, which is Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End/Here Comes The Sun/Come Together. Some of it is a bitch, but just thought if I made a thread, it becomes a Thing I have to Finish.

The first thing, is that for some reason Mr. Booker and his MGs really love changing the keys on Harrisons sh*t - so Something goes up to D from C, and Here Comes The Sun is three steps up in C. Hopefully it doesn't sounds like shite.

Nice work! I bet some of those pitch key changes and pitch shifts caused you a headache but you attacked it with a lot of creativity. I like it!

[hypehat]

Thanks!

Here's a test of one of the more ambitious bits - The tail end of the Medley, followed by Here Comes The Sun and Come Together.

Needs to fix some levels and some timing (especially at the start), but do we approve? Here Comes The Sun and Come Together both affected by the dreaded pitch shifting.

(oh yeah, and that final 'AHHHH' in The End - I DIDN'T TOUCH THE PITCH, IT JUST SOUNDS FLAT. WTF, BEATLES

[hypehat]

f*** you, Booker T.

Ahem.

Does anyone know a better way to change pitch on things than the Audacity plug in? Can't find a decent thing in Cubase and because he seems to have raised the pitch of Because and You Never Give Me Your Money up, there are more artefacts than I'm really comfortable with....

Yeah, it's some kind of perfect storm of vocal shitness - Because is slower, yet a full tone up. Did some work on the Because/You Never Give Me Your Money track, the latter has melded surprising well in spots - have one more massive thing to do tomorrow, and then fixing it up. Some of it sounds ace

Sorry! We can't find that sound.

soundklod sux. you probably shouldn't have used the real song titles

[hypehat]

Maybe because it's set to private? Either way, it needs some work so I think I won't bother showing it yet.


On the other hand, I did the bad thing and torrented Pro Tools! And I'm installing it now. If all the sh*t people say about modern music is true, making it work in that should be a doddle. If not, I'll do the last one tomorrow (It's Sun King/Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/Bathroom Window/I Want You) and have a couple of days to fix the rough bits.

Amazingly, I had the exact same problem. It's a right bastard, isn't it?

Back to the drawing board. Listening back, I'm really worried about Because. Fucking elaborate vocal arrangement combined with Booker T pushing it up a key and playing it slower. Sounds like arse. Hopefully I can make everything else sound sh*t hot enough to forgive that one.
