You Should Know (2)

By Jim Wood on August 2, 2018 3:32 pm

Reworking of Betty Who's "Just Thought You Should Know." Vocal elements separated out in Melodyne; some paulstretched x6. Tresillo bass pattern. Eb Major.

It has a nice buzzy feel like I'm riding on the back of a bee or something.

Paulstetch tends to do that. ::)

Yep diggin the buzzZZ! Another beauty Jimbo!

Nice chilled Track!
The stretch buzz is indeed extra beautyfull here...

Delightful compo! I love the vocals going from a more percussive role to a nice soaring pad heart

Very interesting work. Sounds like if feedbacks were used.
Great Track!

Great mix and dynamics. Love all the layers and especially a mix that surrounds you and centers in the middle of your head through your headphones.  That soaring string/feedback sound is crazy good. Under it all is a very good melody and rhythm track. Well done - downloading!

Lovely use of PaulStretch, and a great track!

yaaaaaas the paulstretch! i like that it is a separate element that's stretched and not just the whole song. great job!

super cool, had never heard the original Betty Who track before.  I love the use of paulstretch, creates such an airy atmosphere.  really interesting piece

Very cool, I really like the overall mood of this piece a lot, great use of those vocal samples, as usual!!

Ooooh that's what tresillo is? (I went on a detour to look that up and realized ohhh!)  Really cool use of Paulstretch with the vocals.  It gives the track a very magical sparkly feeling smile

For a moment I thought to know, what I should know. Then I forgot everything, because this song absorbed me qute a lot and did not set me free after playing it two times, then downloading and favouriting. Why? I know, but I can't tell

I just learned about tresillo myself.

Thanks for your comments! As my hearing continues to deteriorate, I'm getting less and less certain about the results.

Just a gloss on the original.

Paulstretch heart That sound is so distinctive, and so nice to listen to. I should really get back into experimenting with it. Great job on this tune, I love the chopped melody line.

Thanks! I really can't take credit for the melody, since it was an audio to MIDI lift via Melodyne ::(

This is absolutely lovely. So cool and chilled, those vocal sounds especially. The bass in the end is a excellent send off...Great work, again!

Lovely feel to this piece.  Many interesting elements within too.

Great concepts for this, inspiring ... came out very nice ... pretty in places but haunting.

The way you approach music really reminds me of that Czech Rep band called DVA, they're super creative and weird and cool. I wanna be like that too! And that's a sweet song. like the reversed processed vocals ( or just reverse reverb?)
