Proud of Me: Cover
Well this song has been stuck in my head for awhile, so I decided to do a cover of it, the original track can be found below. Sadly the artist felt overwhelmed and began taking all his songs offline. You can find an archive of their tracks here as well.
When Replicating the Instrumental I Made some Changes.
Scotty Splash is the name of the person who did the instrumental, and although it’s a solid track all by itself I did make some changes. The original starts off with muted piano chords, most likely a like a rhodes that has been filtered. Being a fan of guitar I layered the same chords that the piano plays and added an EQ to make sure that the guitar stayed in the higher end of the spectrum.

Guitar Chords
Here’s what it sounds like all together
Lead
The leads in the original track are a combination of a softer sounding lead akin to a harp, piano, or bell. The second lead has a sharper tone to it more akin to a guitar, it’s a very sharp pluck sound with a rapid decay. The two leads go throughout the track, setting up a beautiful melody and counter melody. The timing creates an ambient space, a sense of longing, and sadness that I can relate to.
Lead 2
The leads combined sound like this.
All Together So Far We Have This
I’ll be writing a Part 2 soon that will cover the bass, drums, and break of the song.
Young Blood The Naked and Famous House Remix
Having been played on my favorite radio station frequently in my youth this song is close to my heart. With lyrics that match my current status of being young, naive, and anxious about life I had to make a remix of it. Again this is a bootleg so I had to reinforce the recognizable piano melody with my own piano VST. I tried so hard to capture that hard drop bass/synth sound that MiTiS uses in his latest ‘Til The End Album.
Hour Long MiTiS Megamix
MiTis Megamix
Although Blackmill was the reason I started producing music in the first place, going to one of MiTis‘s shows was one of the reasons I started DJing. I thought that it would be nice to make people dance, have fun, and forget about all their problems. MitiS’s music is so powerful I listen to it when I go through hard times in life and it makes everything seem better. I made this MiTis Megamix to show my appreciation of his tunes. It involves some progressive house, trance, DnB, and melodic dubstep.
