Thanks guys! Now that is some food for thought. Camilo Jr, I've never heard (read) the rhythm of a guitar described like that, but it totally makes sense. Good insight on the metaphor...I guess you really do learn something new everyday!

I would very much appreciate it if someone actually answered the question. Here it is again: Musically, what is the common denominator between those two songs?

I don't understand. Why are do you keep replying to this post? You've done nothing that I can identify as an attempt to actually answer the question.

I'm sure it would be. But I sincerely hope that you realize that that response in no way answers my question. Neither the original nor the amended. Still looking for that trained ear...

Fair enough, but I mean the question in a more literal rather than conceptual sense. Musically, technically, harmonically, what is similar about these songs? I'm looking for a trained ear...

Sometimes I'll hear a song for the first time and am struck by how much like another song it is. For example, "Mercy" by Duffy. I didn't know the name of that song for at least six months because all I could hear was "Stand By Me". But that one was blatant. I know exactly why they sound alike (it's cause they're actually the same song...shhh!). Another example, "Like You'll Never See Me Again". It took me a while to figure out what I was hearing, but then one day I realized it was "Diamonds And Pearls" by Prince. And for the most part I know why. Here's the one I don't get. There's a song called "On The Ocean" by an R&B singer named K'Jon. That song sounds a lot like "Lost Without You" by Robin Thicke to me, but I can't figure out why. Can somebody tell me?

You need plug-ins. Reverb, compression and even more EQing. Good luck.

Hey. I don't know anything about dance music outside of Chicago Juke, but I liked it.

Maybe it was her with autotune....

When it come to producing, knowing something about theory helps. I know music theory isn't the most popular subject, but it comes in handy. You can throw the weirdest element into an arrangement and as long as it fits harmonically, turns out it's not that weird at all.

I got it! Thanks. Love your book David. It's awesome.

Hey everybody. I received the wav files for a song and I want to tweak some of them pretty extensively. I've tried the Command+T shortcut to match the tempo to the highlighted file on both the snare and the kick, but the resulting global tempo is three for both. Am I doing something wrong? *Edit* I'm actually not even sure if this is in 4/4. I'm attaching a sample 25 second sample. Can somebody wiser in the ways of theory and logic tell me how to match my project to this? Tempo Sample.mp3.zip

Thank. You. Both.

Is it possible for a singer to record a melody and logic to notate it? I know how to get the notation for a midi device but what about an audio recording? Thanks a ton to whoever answers.

Thank you. Seriously...
