How I Did It
Uses samples from:
Samples are used in:
Tools I Used
GarageBand.
Line 6 POD Farm (for guitar amp effects).
My trusty Epiphone Les Paul Standard (with new strings!)
Samples I Used
Drum loops from GarageBand.
Tweaked Snowflake's original piano sample.
Original Samples
Bass (software instrument).
Guitars (ran my 'live' guitar through a Line6 POD amp simulator).
Process
Imported Snowflake's stems to GarageBand (vocals and piano).
Listened to Snowflake's piano sample for inspiration. There were 5 notes that stood out (which I copied and used as the refrain).
Arranged the song largely according to the original sequence of Snowflake's vocals. Then added drums and then composed a simple bass track.
For the guitars, I toyed around with some amp sounds (through my Line6 POD Farm). Found this preset called "Stone In Love". Sounded suitable and settled on using that. Turned out I just needed to play Am and G keys over and over... and Snowflake's vocals did the rest.
Other Notes
If not for this remix, I would not have found the POD Farm preset sound. So I learned and gained something as well!
