Hello everyone.
I'm trying to remix Moth To A Flame by SHM ft. The Weekend.
The idea I have is to make it a track close to the melodic house / melodic techno genre, therefore characterized by a higher number of bpm than the original track (120 bpm, bring it to 126 bpm) with slightly more drums and bass characteristics aggressive (for example, the presence of a rolling bass pattern).
Once the various stems have been extracted and inserted into the FL Studio project at 126 bpm, using the Fit to tempo function I raise the vocal by 6 bpm.
In the drop part of the original track, when I place a kick and a rolling bass, I have the audio sensation that there is a speed gap between vocal and kick-bass. This sensation increases if I also place a trance pluck that plays the first and third notes of the chord progression.
I'm trying to understand if it's something that bothers me or that there might be a reason for it.
I ask you:
Could it be that the Fit to tempo function of FL Studio has not worked well?
Could it be that the original track is "generically" 120 bpm but the vocal has moments where it is slightly slower?
To overcome this sensation of different bpm, I thought of introducing a bit of delay on the voice at the pause points. Could this be a valid idea in your opinion?
To find a similar reference and understand if it is something that can still be good, are there any tracks known to you that have a vocal part that goes at a speed that seems different from everything else?
Thanks guys!
Yes, I guess also the drum beat could help me to mask some problems with the vocal.
So in your opinion, the adaptation of a vocal to a remix can contain inevitable rhythm imperfections, dictated by the fact that that vocal was constructed for a track that was perhaps "similar" but still different?
For me, the fact that there are some imperfections is not a problem, I think it is precisely in the nature of the remixes. Obviously I wouldn't want there to be a lot of imperfections..
