Thats Not Me

This is the amazing song 'Sliding Doors', written by Multi-Platinum Producer and dear friend Warren Huart and performed by my daughter Kaedyn Kashmir when she was only 14 years old. Warren's website Produce Like A Pro released the raw tracks to his Academy members including yours truly. This is my first real attempt and a professional sounding mix.  I hope you enjoy it!

I rejigged the structure a little.  Kept the acoustic guitars, but sampled, retimed and looped them.  Kept the drum loop, but moved it and gave it some 'vibe' via JST Pixelator.   And kept the epic 'goat kick'.

I then added additional production with 808 kick and new snare, plus snaps, tambo, hi hat, and claps.  And cymbal + crash hits on the choruses.  Plus a riser for the intro and before 1st + 2nd chorus.

Added synth bass, piano and vocoder parts to the chorus.  Synth bass was EQ-ed intentionally light.  The piano makes use of an augumented chord to help emphasize the vocal melody.

On my mix (see below), the vocoder parts are mixed to 'thicken' the lead vocal.  I used four copies of U-He Diva into 4 copies of iZotope Vocal Synth to create as smoove and lush a vocoder sound as possible.  Crazy use of the CPU to just blend as a thickening FX - but hey, that's just how I roll.  

I also introduced string and brass parts.  Both were played on keys, tightened in midi and processed to sound like loops.  The brass part is a change from the original chord structure.  I struggle with the repeat verse pattern in the bridge and breakdown, so I wrote a new chord pattern.

I built the instrumentation around Chase's voice and kept it light to make his voice feel as big and warm as possible.  The song is also about being up in an airplane - so it kinda makes sense.

Originally I asked Patrick to mix my production.  I really liked where he went with it but felt that it didn't reflect my original intentions for the remix.  I decided it was best to have two versions and so let Patrick go with his gut on his mix and did my own mix too. 

This is my mix.  You can find Patrick's mix here:

Chase K 'Long, Long Way Down (Unofficial Tobisonic Remix)' [Tobi Mix]

Hi you music lovers!

I was asked by Toby Davis from Tobisonic to mix his tracks for his remix production of the wonderful song "Long, long way down" by Chase K: 

https://soundcloud.com/produce-like-a-pro/chase-k-long-long-way-down

Tobi changed the arrangement and removed some original instrument tracks. Also, he added percussion and synth tracks:

This mix is my take on his production.
