Houses Safe (Safety House Remix)

By theemeraldruby on February 10, 2024 8:09 am

Welcome to week 2 of "It's time you learned how sampling works" CLUB

Last year I released this song:


And this week, almost a year since it went live, I dissected the stems on the M8 and turned it into this track!
Originally I wanted to do a bootleg style remix, but quickly learned I don't "Hear" in rhythmic samples and need to develop my understanding of drums better for me to be happy with the result. This version, dissecting and layering individual stems was a nice compromise, albeit a tired one. If I wasn't so exhausted from several "starting over" sessions this might have turned into a full-length remix ha ha ha.

IN OTHER NEWS... I tentatively think I might make it past my last weekly beats consistency record (6 weeks) WHICH IS VERY EXCITING.

This feels very cozy. It also reminds me of the soundtrack for The Royal Tenenbaums, which I happen to really like. And regarding working with longer samples for remixing, that stuff looks like wizardry from an alien planet to me. Then again, so does most music making... Hahahahaha... Anyways, great job here!

ohhh i like this! you will definitely develop a feel for short-form sampling with practice, just as you did for long-form looping smile how did you find working with the stems on the M8 compared to slicing them up logic?

Thankyou! :3 slicing long samples on the m8 has been a little tedious - I find the auto slicer often puts in too many slices so I’ve been doing it manually.
the sample slicer feels like it handles shorter samples better (the ‘big’ slice line moves are too big and the precise scrobbling is very slow in comparison working with safety house length tracks)

Saying all this, it’s definitely a wayyyyy better experience for me than slicing on a daw!

Nice & plucky! Good job, I like the mood.

I am slowly learning the M8 as well, but not competent to put out songs from it already. Quite a learning curve for an old tracker, like an advanced game of memory laying a song structure down using numbers, respect smile .   

It feels like the act two background version of the video song.

super cool idea. I love the glitchy nature of it. it's got that kind of... french house, things are happening but they don't make sense any more... kind of thing. really fun.

Love this! A really great iteration on the original (which is incredible btw).
