In order to start making a remix of this song we need to know a few things about the song. What do you think we would want to know about the song in order to make a remix in Reason???
You would want to know the Tempo and The Key. I have figured that out for you so you can get started!
The Tempo is 95 BPM
This song is in the key of G Major and the key of G major looks like this:
G A B C D E F# G
These notes will work well for you when you are adding melodic instruments to your song.
Also, here are some chords that will work well with this song
1 chord- G Major
4 chord- C Major
5 chord- D Major
6 chord- E Minor
Just like last week, we will be using the NN19 to add this Micheal Jackson Wave file.
You will be able to find the file in the Yellow folder.
Instructions:
1. Find the Michael Jackson-You Rock My World(Acapella Version).wav file in the yellow folder and transfer it into your own folder on your desktop.
2. Create a New Reason session
3. Create a Mixer 14:2
4. Change the Tempo to 95 BPM
5. Create an NN19 digital sampler
6. Load the Acapella You Rock My World in the blue folder icon
7. In the Sequencer you will need to draw a note on C3 that goes to bar 84
8. OK now here is the part that is TRICKY. The lyrics will be off beat if we don't move them to a very particular beginning point. I have figured out the exact location that will be easiest for you to work with. You will need to go the edit view for the NN19 and make sure that you select the 1/16 next to the magnet icon.
Now you will need to have the note on C3 start slightly after the 3rd beat. This may be confusing so please us help you find the exact starting place. It should look like this:
To Start here is a basic outline of the first part of the song:
Intro 1-3
First Verse 3-10
Pre Chorus 10-19
Chorus 19-27
