Video Games : Recording [Behind The Scenes]

[Sir Taurean 43]

For those that know about Audio Engineering and those just wanting an inside look at the making of Video Games, this article is perfect for you!!

 

Excerpt of Article from April 2012. :

 

"‘Video Games’, the song that started it all, was co-written by Del Rey and Justin Parker, and was arranged, played and produced by Robopop, a then-unknown production duo consisting of Daniel Omelio and Brandon Lowry. Their contribution consisted of a serendipitous two-day romp through Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, IK’s Miroslav Philharmonik Orchestra and various dance music sample CDs, culminating in Omelio laying down the track’s electronic and orchestral arrangements in one inspired six-hour late-night session. He immediately realised he’d found a signature sound: “I remember coming home that night and telling my girlfriend that this was going to be a defining track for Lana. I knew right away that it was a pretty epic piece of work and that it would put her on the map and define her as an artist. It was such a heartfelt and real piece of music, that I felt sure that people would connect with it right away.”

 

Two attempts later on by name mixers to ‘properly’ mix the track came to nothing, with everyone involved deciding that Robopop’s rough mix had the magic. It was released on the Internet and later made it to the album."
