I was super curious about the pre-chorus on this one. I spent ages trying to hum the vocals over Huey Lewis lol. And also about the resolution at the end of the chorus from F#m to E, where did it go? Ah now I see it is a few bars earlier plus we kinda get a bonus resolution. The key returns to E and then later the vocal hook resolves rhythmically on beat 4 (is that a thing? it sounds like it to me). Bill milked it. Makes me all warm a fuzzy.

Don't you use Melodyne Editor at all? It seems like the tool for the job of weeding out those horn notes you didn't want. But I guess I'm all the more impressed, if not!

Well, I used to, but it quit working with my new computer and I haven't purchased an update yet. It was good for a lot of things, especially changing vocal harmonies.

That was so much fun! I love hearing about (and seeing!) all the little tricks you use. More please!

Where do you obtain the individual STEM files for these songs?

I find pretty much everything on YouTube. Search for the song title and “vocals only“ or “instrumental.“ After I find something, I download it using an MP3 converter.

Oh man, as an amateur parody make and audio nerd, I love seeing stuff like this. Thank you so much! Question: Is that a Mac/Pro Tools set up you're using?
