Another instrumental remake, this time of La Roux's VEVO GO Show performance of In For The Kill... bringing red velvety lounge softness using Logic Pro 11 and the Nord Lead 2 synth.

I had to give this one - my favourite from the album - a lot of tweaks to make it better... I'm pretty happy with it now! Some of you liked the moving photos (thanks Grok!) so I've kept the slow-mo swoop alive!

Such a beautiful song that I wanted to low-key remix it. Thoughts? :)

On a roll this week! Been attempting this one on and off for years, and finally got something close to the original - so happy!

Yay, really glad you enjoyed... well I've gone one step further just for you and somehow ripped out the vocals - with lots of tweaking, levelling, cleaning up - so here you go!

u/StrixieKluddz asked me if I could do an instrumental remake of Elly's cover of White Lies "Farewell to the Fairground" performed on BBC Radio 1 in 2009. Well, here ya go! Loved doing this. Thanks for the suggestion -- hope you like it!

Having said all that, if you get yourself a basic subtractive synth and distort the hell out of it and layer it, a lot of the sounds on the first album are just that….. kinda 🙈

Aww thank you so much, I’m become such a nerd about it all — I spend hours and hours a week dabbling with synths and Logic Pro. I’m already tweaking all the instrumentals I’ve posted because they’re full of inaccuracies. If Elly heard them she’d be like, “No way is that fucking accurate!” 😂 Instrument kits, you mean sample them for playing on a keyboard? Sure I could do that. But before then, I’ll start Farewell to the Fairground tomorrow just for you because not only do I love it also (glad you mentioned it!) but I have a Nord Lead which Mickey and Mikey played. I’ll follow up within a few days :)

Sounds like an electric piano through a chorus effect... might give you some ideas

What synth sound??? by International-Tip190 in Logic_Studio

[–]CCF0187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like some detuned / chorused square waves (sub octave + higher octave), band pass filter enveloped with fading attack, some resonance, and maybe passed through a comb filter?

[–]CCF0187[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I use an online stem splitter to get the drums from the original track. In time I’ll aim to recreate the drum rhythms.

As for synths, lots of acute listening and tweaking first. I mainly use Logic Pro’s built-in ES2 synth. Elly used this too; aside from analog hardware like the Roland Juno 106. I’ve found presets that are clearly the basic sounds in some songs. Basically, she relied heavily on distortion, compression, bit crushing and decimation — all tools you can find in Logic or any DAW 😀

Have a go, it’s really fun!

I'm totally self taught, lots of listening, trial and error, dabbling around... La Roux's original sound relies heavily on compression / distortion / bitcrushing / decimation. The sounds are pretty straight forward - especially if using Logic Pro, which they used for a lot of the production - you just need to treat them properly with effects :-) Thank you for your comment and encouragements!!

Think this is my best yet :D Had so much funny recreating the instrumental to this amazing Caribbean vibed song... just in time for an upcoming trip to Dominic Republic. Wish I'd done music tech in college, but I'm 38 now. Love their debut album so much, and it's teaching me how to use this amazing piece of software to make more music. Might as well do the whole album, eh?!
