Lullaby by Suzi Q. Smith
This heart of mine by jsane
A confluence of things caused this. I heard Ivan using "Lullaby" as a middle eight in one of his remixes. I realized I'd never remixed the great Suzi Q. Smuth, and perhaps it was time to try.
The same night I heard jsane's "This heart of mine" and was floored by how closely it tweaked all my stranger tastes - like minor key pads, thunder sounds, chimes, and soulful lingering guitar (though I left that out.)
Original Samples
Piano, bass, the pretty guitar at the front, and the loud guitar at the end.
Process
I took two eight bar sections of "this heart of mine" and carefully appended them to each other (with a long trailing fade so they'd blend) until I got a complete bed track.
Then I added piano, bass, and the vocal. I repeated the section of vocal beginning with "If I Should Stumble" since that was what I had thought to name the remix. I had to do a fair bit of tweaking of the vocal - it is a little saturated and compressed, so I used an Expander and a spatial enhancer to try and soften it a little.
I knew I was changing groove at the end, so I added presse's drum part at the end.
Then I added the two guitar bits... for the opening section, simulating my live playing rig, and for the last section, simulating Jimi's live playing rig!
Other Notes
I am pleased with the result.
