Tunnel Gang, let's deconstruct this beat.

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

This is the sample


Now it doesn't sound like he just sampled it, did he grab the acapella ? I can't tell

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

I'm thinking if he just sped up the sample the drums would clash with his right ?

 

[SchrodingersStrapped!]

Filtered out the bass with EQ

Then used Mid-Side processing to make the vocal louder and instrumental quieter

Sample is Side Chained to Kick Drum and Sped Up too

My guess

That or his using an Acapella and the actual song itself at different points

chop on the kick and add attack it'll fade in the chop and the kick isnt as prominent plus sidechaining with the kick will make it damn near non existent. he might have tried to eq the hats from the original track a lil but i can still hear em a lil you can just mask the snare with a more powerful snare hit on top of the one in the original track which is a soft clap or snap or whatever and he pitched and upped the tempo.

Had to come back to this thread as I was giving this track a spin again. @SchrodingersStrapped! you might be on to something.

I don't think much is going here except for the volume.

It sound like he just chopped up the sample, pitched it up, filtered out the lows, boosted some highs and laid his drum.

The tricky part is the volume. It's ducking like crazy at certain points. I'm guessing he's side-chaining the kick to the track during the chorus, giving it that fadein/fadeout feeling. Could be moving the faders by hand too.

Not a great mix imo, but somehow it still came out sounding kinda dope.

The thing that I can't really grasp is the filtering. How is he filtering out the drums and keeping the vocals sounding untouched ? It can't be a simple low pass can it ?

It would be a High Pass filter to get rid of the lows, then he adds his own kick and bass.

The original track only has a simple kick snare rhythm. He cuts them out and put his kick pattern over the sample.

This is @SchrodingersStrapped! ......

@Mahirishi

I tried something similar, instead of side chaining though, I simply used Gross Beat and Used a volume envelope to remove the transients from the sample, it worked great,.....Side-chaining will work just fine too, and will produce a less choppy effect with a quicker release time.....Also once you cut the lows automatically you'll notice the vocal becoming more prominent, if not boost in the 5k-8k range.....

Aite so I decided to try a hand at it. Props to this lovibe dude. I wanted to take it step by step so I took the first 4 bars on for now. I'll continue it later and see what happens. Couple things I realized. I feel like he probably played the drums out from start to finish because the tempo isn't consistent throughout the track. Secondly there's a snare in the actual Kelly Price record that hits on the 3. I realized it's still there in the lovibe track but whatever filter he used makes it sound like percussion it's pretty dope.



Sorry about the excess wav, I didn't realize I exported all of that

EDIT : I should've brought the snare up in the mix too

Damn that was really good for your first shot.
