You're Not Alone (ScarKord Remix)Wednesday 09 January 2008

I've just remixed the Electric Chariot track "You're Not Alone" for an AcidPlanet competition. The original version is an 'electro house' affair, but I've tried to create something altogther more moody and emotive with only the vocal parts surviving from the original track.

The mallet type delayed arpeggio, that reminds me somewhat of Plaid, came from the rather splendid FM8 softsynth which also supplied the bass drone and synth pads. The drums were programmed and chopped in Acid Pro, with individual hits being effected by a variety of plugins including dblue glitch, audiodamage dr. device and scarkord distorto. (Got to get a mention in there somehow :)

The vocals themselves were subjected to some reverse reverb and dubstation delay with speakerphone supplying that 'telephone voice' effect. Oh and plenty of chopping up too :)

You can hear the finished track on AcidPlanet.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
