Part 4/7:
Initialize the DAW: Create a new session and import the song to be remade.
Set the Tempo: Adjust the project tempo so that the song aligns with the grid. Accurate timing is crucial for precise remakes.
Start with Drums: The speaker emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of the drums first. This includes selecting kick, snare, and clap samples that mimic the original track.
Layer Elements: It’s encouraged to layer multiple sounds for a richer texture. Producers might experiment with additional hi-hat patterns or various kick samples to achieve the desired vibe.
Develop Bass Lines: If available, live instruments can be recorded. Alternatively, MIDI bass can replace the live readings, allowing for flexibility in sound.
