Metallica - Sleepwalk My Life Away (Black Album Tone/Faster)

  • This is a recreation of Metallica's "Sleepwalk My Life Away" from their new album "72 Seasons".
    All instruments except the original vocals were remade, played and recorded from scratch, using mixing and sound design techniques to replicate the sonic style and tone of Metallica's self titled "Black album"
    Note: Please excuse the rough quality of the vocal track. I tried using AI to replicate James's young voice, but the results had too much audible artifacts, so I added the AI vocals low in the mix underneath the originals, you can barely hear it but it adds some subtle grit and aggression.

    Hey bro, just wanted to say that i listen to this version of the song almost everyday. Lowkey i think this song sucks how they released it on 72, but you gave it the life it needed. Speeding it up gave it the energy and having the old vocals gave it the old james we love. Good shit man. I literally have this on my gym playlist. And dam, i didnt realize you remade it. Very good stuff bro

      For real my man, you should redo the whole new album in either Black , Justice or both would be great! Seeing all these videos on here solidifies in my mind that fans just want the old Metallica production back. And tbh you've proven it makes these songs heavier and better. And I really like the new album as is. Amazing Job!!

    The problem with James' model from the 90s is that they put in a lot of sounds that cause errors when converting the audio (for example screams, growls, etc). I think the best way to make these models is without these weird sounds, also that the audios don't have reverb, I thought that I could do it, but lately I've been very busy, and I think I will be for the rest of the year, but, If I have time, I'll see if I can create a model for James from the 90s. I think you did a good job with the existing model, but the right thing would be to have a model already suitable to be able to convert the audios.

    Okay, firstly, I want to start off with how freaking AMAZING this sounds, and how accurate it sound to James’ old 90s voice (something I think we all miss, myself included)!! Secondly, dude, you should be proud of yourself! This is phenomenal, and even if it’s just AI, it sounds quite complicated to do. Is it that hard? Lastly, I know you toy with the AI, but do you also make the custom album covers, and thumbnails? If you do, that’s freaking impressive, and looks so good!!

    • @zososound
      @zososound  Год назад +4

      Thank you so much for the kind words my friend, it really means the world! 😃 The process of generating the AI vocals is honestly quite straightforward, it's just the imperfections and sonic artifacts of the AI vocals that need some elbow grease in the mixing side to make it work with the song and blended\automated with the originals vocals to mask the imperfections. As for the process of recording and engineering the instruments from scratch im sure you can imagine how that's like lol!
      And the thumbnails and albums covers yes I also design them myself :) 🙏
