Stereo Field: There is a solid use of stereo imaging in this track but mainly by the spread of Eminem’s vocals and vocal percussion. Eminem’s vocals, being the reason why we are listening to the song are obviously at the for front of the dynamics as he is the star. the bass and harpsichord are both left in the centre of the mix both cutting through at almost equal gain due to their placement on the frequency spectrum. Eminem’s vocals located from 200H – 6 Khz with a boost at 2kHzĭynamics: The kick and snare are obviously the main driving part of the song leaving the hats behind at a lower level in the mix. Lastly both the guitars in the song have been left to occupy the 500H – 3Khz area. The harpsichords dwells with the snare in the 5kH and cannot be heard below 2kH. the bass is almost in line with the Kick as the use of side chaining is prevalent. The snare has been put int eh same area from 200 – 500 but also sits nicely in the 5kH section. the kick and snare are of opposite sides with the kick residing in the lower end with the hole dwelling from 40 – 60H and the beater from 200 – 500H.

Making use of the eq analyser in logic pro X it was easy to separate the individual parts. Spectral: In terms of spectral dynamics the individual instruments are separated quite evenly in the frequency spectrum. The song finishes off by fading out over the last 4 bars. Outro Chorus (28bars) – The introduction of the Wah guitar melody is placed right on top of the mix to finish off the track. Verse 3 (28bars) – Same as verse 1 excluding the vocals and extra noises Eminem addsĬhorus (8Bars) – Identical to first chorus Verse 2 (28bars) – Same as verse 1 excluding the vocals and extra noises Eminem addsĬhorus (8bars) – Identical to first chorus The only extra elements added in the choruses are a reversed cymbal and orchestral drums in the last bar before the chorus to increase suspense, a synth chord progression added behind the mix and the addition of the plucked electric guitar. Eminem’s vocal percussive parts also come into play.Ĭhorus (8bars) – The main elements of the song (kick, snare, bass and harpsichord) stay the same or are looped throughout the whole song. Verse 1 (28 bars) – The continuation of these instruments from the intro with the addition of the snare and high hats with some slight manipulations such as pauses and off beat snares.

Intro (8bars) – kick, harpsichord and both basses come in with the same lines they eventually play in the chorus with eminems vocals,’can I have your attention please,’ being said shortly after with a tape delayed effect being used.

The MPC300 drum machine which are very commonly found in the producer Dr Dre’s productions. This is accompanied by a synthetic harpsichord, a few piano ideas another background synth (Chorus) another guitar at the end of the song with a wah effect used and a drum machine including a kick drum snare hi hat and a number of other percussive samples. There are two different basses, one natural bass guitar which sounds to be DI’d and a synthetic modulated keyboard bass. Instrumentation and structure: All of the instruments used in this track are made synthetically excluding the bass and guitar (chorus). This of course will be an evolving trend as living circumstances and musical genres change. This hardness and repetitiveness of the kick and snare in this recording reflect that of the strife marshal went through in his early life and repeated to until he got his hip hop career up and running. It is important socially and emotionally to pass on the messages not only through lyrics but also through the production. The First song I have chosen to analyse is Eminem’s ‘The Real Slim Shady’Įminem or Marshal Mathers like a lot (generalising) of rappers/hip hop artists come from a harsh background usually living in quite poor conditions or struggling through family strife. Because it is such a huge part of the industry it is imperative to know the basis of all songs using them such as Instrumentation, Spectral, Dynamics, Stereo Imaging structure/genre. There are many different genres utilising electronic instruments. Nowadays it would be hard to find some artists who don’t have any music recorded with at least something synthesised.
