| I've been working on something similar recently, one particular part of it was really getting me down: the part where the character's drugs kicked in and i had to sonically evoke...
"nostalgia with a hint of malice"
by
"decomposing"...
an amazing song by an amazing band who's work I would never dream of interfering with, (I'm not Puff frickin Daddy). And then...
"develop a bit of a heart beat from the beat"...
Whilst she OD's, only to wake up a moment later...
"feeling sexy"
All this in the space of 30 seconds!
In the end I went completely nuts with about 5 convolution reverbs, many sampler channels, buffer over-ride all over the shop, filters etc etc.... in a fit of pure rage and frustration. Automated EVERYTHING to hell and back. Properly puked it his way via FTP and......
He ****ing LOVED it!
My advice: be lucky. But seriously, what helped was to find the one thing that made any sense, dynamically, and that is i had to go from sobre to intoxicated to dead to alive. As long as that dynamic is there you are conforming to his structure, irregardless of whether that structure makes any sense to you.
Go nuts,

I know many like to brag, "this unit smokes this one". But that is what happened here. There was a sort of natural reverb when firing at the Behringer and it sounded sweet to my ears.  | |
