ShadowBlade Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 K, In the spring me and a bandmate are gonna make this killer Kamelot style Symphonic/metal cover of This song Got a lot of great ideas and all for it. Even have just the vocal track......but I can't figure out the bpm. I thought it was like 132 but that didn't work. I put in a basic drum beat with the vocals and it didn't fit.... Can anyone with superior counting skills tell me the BPM? Any other ideas as for what we should do to the song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Try 133 or 134, or, if possible, something in between. Some DAWs let you do that. Tho if you've got drums playing synced to a tempo you can just set it to something close and increase or decrease the tempo when you notice the drums racing ahead or falling behind. Might be better to use a single click-like sound than an actual drum loop (even if it's midi) so you don't get distracted by the snare being in the wrong place.

I shall experiment till I find it I suppose. Any ideas as for what else we could do to make this song totally bitchin? So far the ideas we have floating around for it are A mix between electronic drums and real ones Real bass guitar & electronic bass Metal rhythm with more variety than the original Strings, brass, and choir to give that symphonic touch Solo duels between me, another guitar player and keyboardist some original riffs and melodies.

SonicThHedgog Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 try 132.56 bpm, 133.42, or 133 altho synching will be weird as a caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm havin' some serious issues here lol The main issue I think is actually.......I have the acapella track. I put down a simple kick beat on every quarter note. I try to sync it up but here's thing which I think *might* be the issue. See, she takes a breath before she actually hits the first note of the song. There appears to be two bars leading up to the actual verse, with the breath happening at the tail end of the second bar. I notice, into the actual beginning of the tune.....I still have the breath in there. Throwing it off beat. I do believe the song is 133 though. Despite slicing it up, I can seem to get the breath into the right spot.....hmmm. EDIT: No I think still got the BPM wrong.......damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowBlade Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Okay this OcRemix user sent me a click super imposed over the song. It changes between 132 and 133.5 now I just gotta get the tempo changes right and it should be good. So far it seems to be coming along. I'm gonna make this remix so killer, Chuck Norris will play it with his windows rolled down in traffic...and still be JUST as a bad ass. Thanks a million you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
