Guest Dot Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Okay so here's my first attempt at creating a Born to Die-styled instrumental version for one of my favourite acoustic Lana Del Rey demos. Suggestions and critique are desired. <- Correct me if I was using wrong grammar... 8 Quote
lola Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 i like it but it needs a loon, the infamous scream and rly heavy beats to be truly btd-esque lol 4 Quote Caesar said he’d fall in love with me if I was older. I own all of Mexico and I got my own roller-coaster.

Hahaha... I'm definately gonna use heavier drums. What I did here was building the base frame and I'm gonna build the rest around this. 3 Quote
Hundred Dollar Bill Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I like it! Definitely heavier drums + a loon though. 0 Quote

I made a little file with two loons (one from synth, one filtered from MDM), the backbeat from Dark Paradise and the shouting from BTD. I know it's not much but hopefully maybe you can use it! I like the sound of it so far but it's really repetitive so maybe you can cover up the sound of the acoustic guitar by adding a chorus with a good heavy beat! 0 Quote

dru Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 This is very nice, well done. I can't wait to hear what you do with the samples and heavier drums. I think the instrumental would benefit from some variation; perhaps heavier drums in the chorus and softer ones through the verses. 0 Quote

I'm gonna play with it a little bit and see how it'll work out. 1 Quote
Hundred Dollar Bill Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I'm so excited for the finished product. May I ask what program you're using to make this? I would love to be able to make things like this in my spare time.. 0 Quote

I would love to be able to make things like this in my spare time.. I'm using the producer edition of FL Studio. It's a little complicated in the beginning, but as soon as you start working with it for a while it gets way easier. 1 Quote
sukiedelrey Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Oh my god this is perfect. Are you planning to filter out the original vocals and layer them over this? 2 Quote there is a light & it never goes out
sukiedelrey Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Hint hint I think I'd die of happiness if you could do something like this for Disco. 2 Quote there is a light & it never goes out
ExoticFlower Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I love it! You definitely captured the dark mood of the song. "How do u like me now?" 0 Quote

Yes, I am. I already tried to make one but I'm not that good at filtering so I need to figure out how to do this after I finished the instrumental.

I need to get into that song first, though. 3 Quote

This was exactly what I was aiming for. Keeping the darkness and melancholy of the song. I think I was heavily inspired by Video Games, Million Dollar Man, Hit and Run (Version 2) and the live version of Body Electric while creating this. 1 Quote
Creyk Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I put your instrumental together with the song, and it sounds very nice. I can't wait for your improved version^^ 0 Quote
