Aerodynamic - Daft Punk Intro Recreated

[THAREALDAN]

I'm sure they used a synth to get the rising and lowing whoosh sound in the background.

[CHAOTIKProject]

Great job man :)

[djdefk2]

(nodlezfodlez) dude did u do this in audacity!!! i cant believe!! ive got audacity but i find it hard/ long winded chopping up samples and recreating them in this program!!! mind u i dont use an audio keyboard or nothing! im cutting and pasting things all in the computer!!! do u use an audio keyboard with your computer and if so which one! in fact how do find audacity! i find it very very basic personally

[mickjackson1000]

Amazing. i love this Mix ♥

[canyouhelpout]

Websuspect if anyone can do it. Then why is daft punk famous. Because no one can do it like them

[SilentAttackTV]

What is so genious about Daft Punk is that they actually make basslines out of their samples.

[websuspect]

They used a mixer. It can be done with the newer mixers.

[Jk981206]

@bey0ndthelimits Not only is it art, assuming that your formula us completely correct, it's also math too! (^_^)

[itsadeadmansparty]

how did you find out what type of keyboard ensoniq dp/4 they used? How? where did you find that out at? I have always wondered how much and which tools they used to make an entire album, share with us please???

[nodlezfodlez]

@itsadeadmansparty I think I read it somewhere, because apparently the phaser effect is recognisable as being a dp/4, I can't verify this though as I've never used one

[HomlessRichDude]

Last time i checked djs mixed songs already made

[itaybron]

indeed they are sampling gods

[bey0ndthelimits]

Oliver Cheatham - Get Down Saturday Night

Sister Sledge - Il Macquillage Lady

Daft Punk - Aerodynamic

MUSIC IS ART DUDE.

[YYZ821]

@bey0ndthelimits I always thought Get Down Saturday Night was the sample for Something About Us. The bass part sounds a lot like it.

[SattvaManasa]

They are dj's dude. That is what they do, CUT AND MIX!!!!

[swaGa1nRz]

@SattvaManasa

way to copy MrSugeng's comment.

[BrunoAndradeRnB]

@SattvaManasa

Agreee

[emanueljoab]

@SattvaManasa They're musicians. Respect them.

[MrSugeng]

well...they're DJs.... thats what they do... mixing up songs

[Brainbox97]

i know they're famous for sampling but couldnt of they just recreated it like most people so thats why they didnt credit them

[bodhid]

So did they play the guitar solo themselves?

[kaine180]

it was done on a keybored, with an arpeggiator

[anettehallstrom]

Excellent job! ... now what about High Life?

[masta8877]

I like ghostm998's comment. It explains why Daft Punk, Justice, Girl Talk, the auto-tune the news guys, etc haven't been sued. I know about so many cool ass 70's and 80's funk/R&B groups now cause of these samples and informational youtube videos. No one new has listened to those groups in decades, so if anything THEY should owe daft punk, rather than Daft Punk risking a lawsuit. If anyone sues these dj's that "illegally sample," they deserve to be anally raped. Just my opinion.

[CardboardRobot7]

good point haha

[9MinamiKe6]

Put in a Phaser of a Flanger

[kidnflorida]

You obviously don't know what liner notes are lol.

[ghostom998]

daft punk paid em. but not directly. u honestly think many people would of heard these without them

[AisuDoragon]

Actually, this just made them seem so much more clever if you ask me..o-o

notice how they always tend to sample intros, are inspired by it and leads to develope the song as it goes further to their own creation?

As far as I've noticed they avoid ripping off a whole song.

[slytown]

I noticed that too. They usually didn't use more than a bar or two.

[LiamCharlton]

thought it was edwin birdsong - cola bottle baby...or is that harder better . . . .

[Zeyegin]

thats harder better fasyer stronger

[bodhid]

I thought that was confirmed in the album notes?

[gibsonguy625]

thats harder better

[JAJAJAX]

well done

[Cuntinglick]

Yeah, it's so obvious they sampled and never cleared the samples. With all the money they made from making music by stealing it, it's about time somebody sued the fuckers. I do like their music (sometimes), but hate the fact people who made these samples are not getting paid or even credited.

[theguywhosays]

daft paid the musicians....pretty obvious eh? these songs have been out for a long time

[endlessbender]

they cleared the samples and paid up, its all in the liner notes. you are not well informed.

[djmrbrown00]

dead fucking on..TIME TO PAY UP!! :)

[ghostom998]

its easy to say daft punk sampled "by doing this and this to get this" but a long process to come up with it ey? how do we no its not jus a coincedence? its not unlikely given all the music in the world and for every now and then something comes along and sounds "simalar" to it.

[adaftpunkfan]

similar is one thing, identical is another.

[theguywhosays]

whats wrong wit that? there are a million remakes and people dont even care. Flo Rida - Right Round. Kanye West - Stronger. those were both sampled. so what?

[DjScratchBattery]

GREAT JOB MAN!!!!

[Dave23788]

pls make a video with your chop job of the sample

[riopieboy]

They also used Thunderstruck by ac/dc

[sonicterrorist]

don't think so mate

[TaiFerret]

Very well recreated! Although their version sounds more aerodynamic. XD

[103shadow]

why take 1:19 to say that they just sampled another track?

[Inikalord]

to prove that Daft Punk Sampled the song even though Daft Punk denies it

[randall642]

uh no they don't deny it, and this wasn't made to prove anything, it was a tribute/personal project to improve his skills.

[benzine]

nah bud, look things up before you argue.

[randall642]

What are you talking about? I personally know the maker of this video, he wasn't trying to "expose" daft punk. He is a fan.

[randall642]

Uncredited does not mean deny.

[randall642]

the point of the video isnt just to say they sampled to track. it's to show how it was built. in electronic music trying to recreate is on of the best exercises for getting better.

good try btw nodlez, for not having an Ensoniq DP/4 unit.

[inofaith]

I hear some artist talking about avoiding clearing by re-creating riffs vocals melodies etc.

Anyway, the creative copyright license is outdated. How are people going to invent more NEW melodies.

And music is about sharing, so artists shouldn't wine so much and just put their music out there and see what happens.

If some "kid" comes along and does something great with it it's a compliment.

[undergroundblu]

I think they did a pretty good job, throwing together something like that. I love remakes :D freshin up some shit...as long as its a good one :P

[zeguitarman]

excellent job man !! impressing

[FunkSoulBrotherUK]

Excellent re-work. Great vid :D

[cocomonkilla]

Nice find

[benjaminpoopa]

i like ur version more =]

[Chradnev]

Are you sure Daft Punk didn't replay the sampled bit themselves in the studio? That would explain the slightly different sound as well as why it's not listed as a sample.

[inofaith]

The great thing you hear in daft punk's samples is all the artifacts they just let in.

If you cut a funky wahwah guitar piece out of a existing song you're gonna get some tail of a snare sound with it, some parts of bass still underneath it. etc.

And in daft punk's songs there are clearly these artifacts which are the evidence of sampling.

It sounds nicer than to record some static way to clean sounds. so why not sample some records you (or your parents) have laying around the house anyway?

[BlizzardOfTheCoast]

And if they recreated the sample, they'd still have to clear it. I could understand thinking they'd get away with the obscure Eddie Johns sample, but I think it's pretty hilarious when GODLY DIGGERS spotted a Sister Sledge sample Thomas' first reaction is to deny he sampled anything at all. Nice save, guy!

People are quick to point out that Daft Punk are "lazy samplers"(or bafflingly, deny that they sample at all), but they seem to forget that most of their samples have yet to be ID'd.

[marikun]

True! We're still looking for the mystery track behind 'High Life'. I'm more interested in some of their stuff from Homework, like the female voice on "Teachers" and whatever they used for "Fresh". I think I may have found something for "Something About Us" which I'm going to post soon.

[aurorablue38]

I remade Aerodynamic too:)

[benjaminpoopa]

can u teach me how to remake this song to aerodynamic? becuz i like the remake version more then the real one

[ThaExpress2609]

Looks like Brian got competition

[idiotsdream]

Well, how about that.Love both songs.

[Arbi2er]

No need to find the samples by ear as there is a CD with the samples and corresponding songs @ zune market place. Search: daft punk samples. should come up in the list. Im not sure if it was released by them but the credit is there.

[winchy32]

nice findings man!

[timmywolfram]

nice work there! the original version sounds exactly as yours! 5/5

[lawsonlawson1982]

got to hand it to you man you got it spot on. thumbs up.

[M03D]

daft punk is still better.

[lokourah]

hey, i think i founded another music that contains a sample that daft punk used on voyeger, from the album dscovery

listen carefully to the song Rio of duran duran

[randall642]

i love the flange on the daft punk version. So nice.

[Pixelbuddy]

If you listen carefully to Aerodynamic, it sounds slightly choppy in some parts during the main riff, then added some of their own synths to it. At least they didn't sample the insane guitar solo. That would have been heart breaking for me :(

Awesome sample though. These guys must listen to a shitload of obscure 60s-80s songs. All of their samples are from that era.

[Tyler11440]

takes them about 6 months to find a sample they like, and other people write the vocals for them. one more time was written and sang by romanthony

[bdvholmes]

I have a very sneaking suspicion that DP used that very same song to sample "Make Love".

Anyone else agree?

[Tyler11440]

YES OMG I JUST HEARD IT :OOOO your right

[nichoji]

very good job! i've always been skeptical of the claim that they sampled that song, simply because it wasn't credited, and whilst i could hear the similarities between the two songs they didn't seem wholly the same to me, but i must say you've certainly convinced me!

[Oli3TB76]

sounding great

thanks for the info

[EvilStereoProduction]

Very nice re-creation

[an1ma7ion]

There is Flange in Audicty. And nice video

[OrchidRose83]

Daft Punk's sampling is amazing...

[goofballjm]

You did that in Audacity? Man you are awesome! That must have been a challenge!

[Tyler11440]

yes some they deny even if its super obvious like the HBFS/Cola bottle baby sample lol. (not saying thats the one, its just an example)

[xmadnessmanx]

eh.. no they don't daft punk has a daft punk samples cd. a collection of songs they sampled. im pretty sure cola bottle baby is in there.

[snolan1990]

eh.. yes they do that cd has nothing to do with Daft Punk some one at a record company just looked at the plam out sample list and made a comilation album

[brcpinoyako123]

i use audacity too but i cant find songs to to use it with. songs r too hard to find specialy "more spell on you" by eddie johns

[liu7]

ur also using audacity!:-)

[RastafarianPilgrim]

Sounds more like a phase than a flange to me, but I'm not a pro :P

If you'd wanna try out making a "real" remake, download the Fruity Loops Demo - it should be enough for making a simple sampling :P

[jakethesnake10000]

i wonder why they straight up deny the most obvious samples, but i love daft punk

[HARRYMARIA]

Most of the were fake exept for this one and some others. Sister Sledge probably denied theyre sample request

[distr0ia]

Thomas and Guy-Man love their Sledge

[djkoopz]

Good work!

[jaggass]

what software did you use?

[jaggass]

now i know the meaning of daft punks album 'discovery'. discovery means to me that they found all them old songs then sampled them

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

From what i hear. They used parametric eq, flanger, filter, and maybe a distortion. But nice samplin.

[GemBoxx]

You're a pro nodlezfodlez good job!

[archstanton]

"We really tried to include most of the things we liked as kids, and bring that sense of fun to it." - Thomas Bangalter, speaking about Aerodynamic

[spitalul2bad]

great work

[sjoerdkoala12]

there is a flanger in audacity, but you must download that by the plugins

[VincentArbiter]

mad skill. this is incredible what he started. I usually dont see this many musicians coming together talking about making music like this. Except for the few douches who fight on YouTube over the dumbest shit, these comments are great.

[TobiIsAGoodBoy1]

but where did the frantic part come from at the end of Aerodynamic?

[Yunneck]

There is no overdrive-distortion. Try to reduce bit depth. Thats the way DP used

[TJTheDJ585]

thats excellent! i attempted to do this same idea with the One More Time sample, but i didnt get it quite right.

[grinspoon007]

THATS AWESOME!

[xXxCrossoveRxXx]

but this is normal for Daft Punk! they produce House Music...look on wikipedia...

[theFEELgoodINC]

Indeed, the only difference between yours and the Daft Punk version is the flange. Good work!

[schoolboy1023]

Good job my man. Very good job indeed

[grcacar]

yeah but what about the guitar riff that goes later in the song ? where is that form? Anybody?

[rc232]

daft punk made that

[vipzen]

Thomas Bangalter is the best house recycler, "makes old music new again" :)

[zuneboy]

why is it that he is the only one getting the credit? is it because his name is the only one you know? to be honest, i google it every time i use Guy's name just in case i spell it wrong. now you'll probably reply to this and say "NO DOUCHE BAG ITS ..." whatever but i know your kind. youll google it first.

[bladez666uk]

Very convincing I think. Check out all the love Im givin by Gwen McRae - theres also a heavy similarity there.

Sampling years ago didnt require permissions if it was heavily altered from the original and couldnt be recognised easily, but a couple of years ago the law changed and anything sampled now MUST be credited even it is is unrecognisable.

Anyhow, however DP did it, the end product was still brilliant, and in finding the songs they sampled has exposed me to a lot of great music.

[nodlezfodlez]

luckily, not many people follow the stricter laws, for instance Justice says that there are tons of random samples in their album from Queen and such, which are uncredited because you would not in a million years find where its from, if its only 0.5 seconds of song. But it would be rediculous to go through the whole approving process for a guitar hit that could have been done by anybody. Uncredited sampling is a beautiful thing!

[odobett]

Now, I consider myself a man who KNOWS his Queen, and I can't see what you mean. Any examples?

[katuso]

yo i dont care if they sampled or not but who cares! besides wat about the guitar solo part!!!???

[Torley]

Wowzerama, I never knew before that this part of "Aerodynamic" was manipulated samples, I thought it was an original performance. Very cheeky and clever how that was worked in — thanx a lot for doing this analysis and re-creation, it's pretty close-sounding to me!

[mjoyner]

Damn man, nice job. It's so sad how much Discovery was sampled.

[nylleir]

Why is that sad? It makes old music new again :D!

[mjoyner]

It's sad at how much money they're making, while people writing original songs on their caliber are not making jack.

[VebseLover]

Mjoyner, I don't think that's all there is to it.

The samples where the original artists are credited are also the Daft-tracks where they truely need credit because that's where the big parts really are used and where the biggest change perhabs is "just" a tune manipulating. In 'Digital Love' or 'Crescendolls' the credits are very much needed because of the samples vitality.

[VebseLover]

And yes, in 'One More Time' the (incredited) sample plays a big part, but i believe (cause I'm no expert) that that's not counting because it's cutted so much up and kinda becomes more of a whole new thing. They (Daft Punk) basicly use the sample, as if it was a keyboard sound, and then make a totally different melody out of it. :)

[randall642]

Aerodynamic is an original song.

[xtuw2]

i think its a phaser filter not flanger but i maybe wrong im not a professional

[tuberic76]

Very well made! It's a bit unclear tho, but I understand that u recreated the baseline completely urself from the MLady tune? My vid was about the guitar solo tho, and I still don't think it's a sample from MLady.

[nodlezfodlez]

Yes, they probably played the guitar part theirself. But both videos are about the production techniques.
