Its actually very easy how they come up with the ideas and samples that they use. Firstly they take a section of music that they think they may get useful samples from, say a 16 section. They then run that through "Recycle", which is a program that splits music into segments as fina you want them. You can then load a REX file into your music sequencerto play back the segments. Here's where they get creative. You can play each segment on your keyboard. All Daft Punk do is mess around playing segm
ents until they find stuff that they think sounds good. Try this for yourself, its quite easy. Also try running drum patterns through the segments, you'll be quite shocked at results that can be achieved.
Oh and btw, Daft Punk made the WHOLE SAMPLING on purpose, even the parts where the vocals sound cut off. I've almost finished the first loop, so you'll know what I'm talking about.
I like your sample of Billy Joel better than Daft Punk's because it is using the raw samples. Daft Punk filtered it heaps probably so the sample would be unrecognizable if Billy Joel heard it himself.
due to the overwhelming response from this, I have put up the song files I have used to make this. Note this is for mac only but the audio snippets were also provided. Sorry to all those I did not get back to on the messages, there are simply to many to reply back to.
High Fidelity's samples is not credited in the CD leaflet, and IF it REALLY was Billy Joel's 'Just The Way You Are', then he may say that his song is exploited, and that, he could put Daft Punk through a legal battle!
man u should get into ableton. it allows you do much more to the samples much more easily bud. just up'd a video of my ableton remake of harder better faster stronger, using the edwin birsong track cola bottle baby if you wanna check that out its on my page now.
Great job! and thanks for the posting. If you work some pauses out, it'll be even closer. You've made great progress so far. Tweak the beginning especially.
Da funkt for president.

Eh completely a coincidence. The lyrics in High Fidelity are "New Vaga...bond" in the 2nd loop, and the 3rd loop is "Come to...be fre..e"

And one last thing, what came first: Billy Joel's 'Just the way you are' or Daft Punk's 'High Fidelity'?

I say SoNiCxBlaCK, your work is the closest thing yet to the 'High Fidelity' concept, just like turning lead into gold!

Also, I'm not sure whether 'High Fidelity' is inspiration or what. Perhaps it samples another obscure song.

In the real version, the voice saying 'ooh bettah vuh' sounds female-ish. Maybe it did sample another obscure song.
