good i will never cover that song as theres a million covers already made of it, and its the most predictable thing in the world someone would think to do.

Anonymous asked: How do you make your covers? Are they made from the ground up, or do you use like a base midi to build it around?

—-Nerd post—-





i did usually use a base midi, as it saved an incredible time with transcribing. i think there are only a few songs that are made from scratch in that sense. I always wanted to thank and credit these midi maker in some way, but always found it hard, as i wanted to keep this blog very sleek. I mean, the whole idea was just to have a “cursed” kk covers blog, where kk covers songs that just rly shouldnt be covered by him. this is probably why KK “hurt” is my favorite cover i’ve ever done. (https://soundcloud.com/kkslidercoversnobodywanted/kk-hurt)

However, i often could not find complete midi’s, or ones that sufficently replicated every element in the song, or would simply do a few things wrong, so those i would fill in myself by ear, and playing the orginal song over the cover and A>B’ing between them to get as close as i could, using mainly nintendo 64 soundfonts. For some small elements that were hard to replicate, like that little “AAAaaaahh” in DARE by gorillaz (https://youtu.be/uAOR6ib95kQ?t=108) . I would simply sample the orginal, and bitcrush it a little.

Midis usually dont include a vocal channel, unless its a karaoke midi, so usually the transcription of kk’s actual voice would all be done manually. I did this differently over the years, where first id transcribe the melody using one of kk’s sounds, then making 7-8 instances of a sampler with different sounds. Then i would simply duplicate the midi track, mute it, and unmute whatever noise sounded appropriate to the lyrics.



In the end tho, i found this highly inefficient, so the most recent covers are made by making up a sampler that simply automates between different samples, giving a lot more versatility. at first i tried doing this by velocity, but… its exponentional and hard to program, but luckily, ableton live, the program i now use, can connect a macro to sample selection! plus, making stuff like vibrato happen was a lot smoother!
