tomo2607 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi Hi guys... I’m after a little help. I’m trying to replicate an effect I’ve heard on a Moby track. The song in question is "why does my heart feel so bad" . When the vocal track is heard there is also a "background" loop heard at the same time. I’m presuming it’s done by using a gate across the vocal track to trigger the "background" track. I’m trying to put together a demo for a small group of students who have chosen this as a key piece for their music GCSE course. I’m using Protools LE 8 to replicate various effects used within the piece so they can identify what’s actually been done, but I can’t figure out how to do it effectively.I only have the basic Protools plugging at my disposal and I can’t seem to achieve my aims with the standard gate within Protools. My hope was that I could put the gate across the track were using as our "background" track and then trigger it via a bus... is this possible, or does anyone have any other ideas about how to do this? Thanks in advance and my apologise if I have missed out any info that may be needed... Ok... Looks like I have figured it out. Sorry for the wasted post. However, if anyone else is interested I did it this way, The standard protools gate has aside chain that allows you to use a key input. I sent the tack I wanted to use a trigger to bus one and used this as the key input for the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not entirely relevant to what you were trying to achieve, but that vocal sample actually had all of the background noise/vocals already on it - it came from a 1953 gospel choir recording. If you're teaching the students about sampling, it might be a useful lesson in how vocal samples that aren't entirely clean can still be useful.

Shez Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 A few seconds of on-line research would have led you to a very detailed article in Sound on Sound about how he put that track together... Might be quite useful for someone wanting to teach how he put that track together ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
