I know you have all been wasting a lot of mental energy pondering this hugely important question…and likely to no avail.
Well, wonder no more! Finally, someone has done it! I have slowed the birds down 400% (that’s 2 octaves…someone had to do it!), and to be honest they sound a little odd.
(For reference, here is the original audio. It was used in my song in the previous post).
The other day I went outside to throw something in the garbage and I noticed that the big tree in the back alley was full of birds. The birds sounded really cool so I grabbed my Ipod and a stereo mic and recorded them for a couple minutes. Then I put it into Live and recorded a few guitar parts, some bass and saxophone. Tonight I was doing a bit of editing and clean-up on the track, so I figured I’d leave the drums turned off so it wouldn’t drive the people upstairs bonkers (with all the stopping and starting, editing can be really annoying to listen to). I thought it sounded pretty good sans drums, so I did a mix without them. Check it out here.
