he didn't do much to it man, he just put it through a cabinet filter, to roughen the mid frequencies up a bit, mirroring an effect that old recording equipment would have in some of the very old vinyl records. It works with the song.
The goal of bringing the artists in during the project wasn't simply for them to sing or play their piece, have the producer make theirs, and slap them together. it was to give a more controlled variety of styles and sounds that the producers wanted to work with. The goal was to produce something akin to brand new genres rather than a mash up of the two. LeAnn Rimes' voice is gorgeous, and in taking her voice and running it through filters, it still carries the same emotion, to me anyway.
@quadstrike actually Leanne Rhimes has one of the most beautiful natural voices i have ever heard. Her voice was altered to sound funky as hell it was all part of the production
Yeah, her voice is beautiful without the filters but the song isn't about LeAnn Rimes and showcasing her talent. PL makes dance music in a very distinct way and I think how he treated the vocals served the song perfectly. Dance music is unique because it is made for a specific function: to create an atmosphere and get people dancing. It's not about showing off talent, it's about serving the music.
While I agree that her voice is much more beautiful without the filters, I don't think it would have fit the song at all without them. The current version was pretty sweet.
I agree, while watching Re:Generation I thought she had a beautiful voice and was kind of disappointed to see that he went and threw a filter on it. Still the best track off the doc.
yeah, he altered her voice a lot. im sure her and her record company worked pretty closely with derek on this so i dont think its anything to get all worked up about. they obviously liked something about it or they wouldnt have allowed him to tweak her voice as much as he did.
@TheSimardShow Pretty lights releases all his music for free... So the answer to that is because he will release it elsewhere free so you don't have to pay for it.
interesting tune. I would like if they did put more vocals from LeAnn Rimes into it. and maybe a bit less effected. I think her qualitiy is underpushed here. she´s a wonderful talent but I didnt see and hear almost nothing of her.
Well good thing you don't have to pay for any of pretty lights music :-) Not saying he isn't amazing (cause he is) im just sayin no payment necessary for the beauty of pretty lights tracks:-)
This is the best feeling and groove from that regen project for me. But its not finished. Just one loop, and nothing else. Nothing further developed. Its a pain because it would be so good. Nice dirty bassline. Beat. Professional harsh sounding vocals. And no changes. Agree about her vocal, not to touched like that. It was so professional when was made in the regeneration project film, and now both vokals have harsh digital unnaturalness. The main problem with that softwares they use. Notmusical
@Skyline10789 Yeah I'm kinda disappointed. I watched the Regeneration movie tonight and Leann's natural voice is much better than the one portrayed in the song.
The real song is actually longer than this. and I dont like it when songs loop, cause it gets boring. If it changes throughout then it makes it better.
@ThePywackett Too bad LeAnn collaborated with Derek for this track as part of the documentary. She agreed to have her voice changed as he pleased for the sake of bridging musical genres together. Sorry you don't like the track.
It sounds cool but I guess my point is his voice was not touched and hers was so manipulated to sound like a folk singer, Dolly on an old radio, and this could have been done with anyone!
lol other dude must have missed dubstep 101 or is trollin bc idk how anyone can be so cocky and wrong. unless hes drunk lol shit happens to me all the time
Justin fucking beiber can have a movie that is a waste of movie put in theaters and it stays for weeks but a movie worth watching is in theaters for only a few days? what.the.fuck!!!!!!???
excuse me kind sir you obviously don't know what your talking about. Skrillex made a sad attempt to capture the other genre of music in his song. The end result was just another stupid robot dubstep hipster song. Thats really the only way i could describe it as opposed to your "epic" comment.
Well, regardless, it sounded better without the effects. watching the documentary, her voice was chillingly good. hearing it butchered was very disappointing. pretty lights is an underwhelming electronic musician and it's unfortunate that these 2 great artists agreed to subject themselves to this. same could be said about the doors x skrillex /gag
why did he bring LeAnn Rimes in if he was gonna butcher her voice that way? i like the song but her real voice was much better, if youre gonna bring in a star keep their voice. i agree i wish it would at least loop and be around 5min. but no matter what, bad ass song, i hope he fools with it and remixes and puts more of the lyrics of wayfaring stranger and maybe dont touch her voice so much, thats a track id pay for.
sorry that i appreciate music and think that shitty electronic is a bad look for established quality musicians. also sorry that you can't think of anything outside of "no one cares" while attempting to contribute to a discussion.
Firstly discounting, it has no reference or respect to the core of tune. There is no semblance of groove. The vocals are (especially Leanne's) are pinch shifted for no reason?? It sounds so amateurish I wonder how people like this get a shot like this.Anyone who thinks this is innovative, inventive or remotely interesting has no taste or point of reference.there is nothing clever about this at all.
he didn't do much to it man, he just put it through a cabinet filter, to roughen the mid frequencies up a bit, mirroring an effect that old recording equipment would have in some of the very old vinyl records. It works with the song.
A cool thing about electronic music is the lack of boundary. You can stretch and adapt things until they fit and sound good.
Fucking sickest song on the RE:GENERATION project
That voice!!! God bless that voice!
That night at red rocks was legend wait-for-it dary.
that turned out way better than i expected! this is great!
This is the best one out of the four i think x.x
this is actually one of the sickest songs ever
What a gorgeous sounding song.
This really is a masterpiece, production is tight and those 2 sets of chilling vocals. amazing, very triphoppy...

Derek spittin that game to LeAnn haha
Beautiful.
Its just Derek's vision. He had an idea in his head and just went with it. Can't always please everyone haha
2022 and still coming back to this
beautiful sounds
Thank you - I do not even have to wait for the Jukebox to Light UP:).>> Oh Mercy - ThanXZ
@quadstrike actually Leanne Rhimes has one of the most beautiful natural voices i have ever heard. Her voice was altered to sound funky as hell it was all part of the production
WOW WTF I'M REALLY REALLY IMPRESSED!!
Pretty Lights = Prophet
So amazing
This is really just amazing
moreee!!! longerrr!!!
@Wiseguyzmoney Its because its Pretty Lights. Colorado represent!
How can anybody dislike this?
Du trés Lourd!!! Big up de France..

please come to tokyo Derek, aka pretty lights! Love the music, the pretty lights, so all in all I would love to see the show ;)
Nice !! From France ;)
1917 brought me back here. PL, good times ✌🏼
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Derek you're a hot DJ! From one DJ to another ;)
While I agree that her voice is much more beautiful without the filters, I don't think it would have fit the song at all without them. The current version was pretty sweet.
@kmikl Awesome. Thanks.
Mate Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs,Louis Pasteur and Mozart are of genius.. don't devalue the word...
@ThePywackett a miss? no, it's pretty lights style. She agreed to be featured on a Pretty Lights Track, not the other way around.
I agree, while watching Re:Generation I thought she had a beautiful voice and was kind of disappointed to see that he went and threw a filter on it. Still the best track off the doc.
@quadstrike thats just Pretty Lights's style. go listen to "A Million Tomorrows". same thing. personally i dig it
Yeah. also check out the remix Apathy did for the DJ Premier song with Nas. Its way better than the original, it's shorter, but the verses are cool.
RIP DR RALPH STANLEY :(
Re-PoSt !!!
He didn't butcher her voice...He simply asked her to go an octave higher. When He finished the project...it was nothing like I had ever heard.
RED ROCKS
i like her original voice better, makes the song smoother
@evansdustin There's more for RE:Generation... Crystal Method's song is pretty awesome.
@TheSimardShow It's free and original to download:) No piracy problems...
@TheSimardShow Cause you can download the soundtrack free from their website.
@TheSimardShow
beacouse You can download it for free from the project website :)
@TheSimardShow BECAUSE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE ON THE RE:GENERATION WEBSITE
yeah, he altered her voice a lot. im sure her and her record company worked pretty closely with derek on this so i dont think its anything to get all worked up about. they obviously liked something about it or they wouldnt have allowed him to tweak her voice as much as he did.

interesting tune. I would like if they did put more vocals from LeAnn Rimes into it. and maybe a bit less effected. I think her qualitiy is underpushed here.
she´s a wonderful talent but I didnt see and hear almost nothing of her.
Well good thing you don't have to pay for any of pretty lights music :-) Not saying he isn't amazing (cause he is) im just sayin no payment necessary for the beauty of pretty lights tracks:-)
really wish this was about 5 minutes longer so my lazy ass wouldn't have to repeat all the time
On Hulu.com.
It's all about the artist's interpretation. If you want to do something different, make your own song. I'd listen to it.
This is the best feeling and groove from that regen project for me. But its not finished. Just one loop, and nothing else. Nothing further developed. Its a pain because it would be so good. Nice dirty bassline. Beat. Professional harsh sounding vocals. And no changes. Agree about her vocal, not to touched like that. It was so professional when was made in the regeneration project film, and now both vokals have harsh digital unnaturalness. The main problem with that softwares they use. Notmusical
still listening in 2055
@sk8spyda this song is amazing, but being high as fuck makes it better.
@Skyline10789 Yeah I'm kinda disappointed. I watched the Regeneration movie tonight and Leann's natural voice is much better than the one portrayed in the song.
The real song is actually longer than this. and I dont like it when songs loop, cause it gets boring. If it changes throughout then it makes it better.
@wildcomfort88 that just blew my fucking mind.
I think he overdid LeAnns voice, but the track is amazing regardless. You could see how stressed Pretty Lights was to work on this project.
@ThePywackett Too bad LeAnn collaborated with Derek for this track as part of the documentary. She agreed to have her voice changed as he pleased for the sake of bridging musical genres together. Sorry you don't like the track.
is it just me or does he look exactly like a skinnier version of streeter from college humor
somebody give LeAnn Rhymes a fuckin cheeseburger and a large fry. She needs to fucking EAT.
BTW this track is DOPE!
It sounds cool but I guess my point is his voice was not touched and hers was so manipulated to sound like a folk singer, Dolly on an old radio, and this could have been done with anyone!
why is he always so sweaty
lol other dude must have missed dubstep 101 or is trollin bc idk how anyone can be so cocky and wrong. unless hes drunk lol shit happens to me all the time
huh. If they were going to change up LeAnn's voice so much, maybe they should have chosen someone else that sounds more... umm...
Jewel perhaps?
Justin fucking beiber can have a movie that is a waste of movie put in theaters and it stays for weeks but a movie worth watching is in theaters for only a few days? what.the.fuck!!!!!!???
@xSk3MEx I'm sure she eats, she's always been naturally thin
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool why u mad
good stuff...........all though i feel he could of done less to that chicks voice. haha.she sounds like t pain
he should've kept her voice alittle bit less...mouse-y
excuse me kind sir you obviously don't know what your talking about. Skrillex made a sad attempt to capture the other genre of music in his song. The end result was just another stupid robot dubstep hipster song. Thats really the only way i could describe it as opposed to your "epic" comment.
bad@$$

Same could be said about skrillex and doors? Many people love that song. You don't. No one cares.
Try not slaughtering a beautiful voice with chipmunk-tronics when you make your next track with a female vocalist.
Why take photos of a model if you are going to photoshop it?
dj premier did a better job
WHY distort LeAnn's voice soooo much, that is one voice that needs nothing in the mix! Good idea but a miss.........
sorry that i appreciate music and think that shitty electronic is a bad look for established quality musicians. also sorry that you can't think of anything outside of "no one cares" while attempting to contribute to a discussion.
Hated the chipmunk effect when it first came out, still hate it. Horrible.
Pretty lights is still cool though.
fool didnt even listen to the alternate version and wouldn't sing his part. only option was LeAnn Rimes
Firstly discounting, it has no reference or respect to the core of tune. There is no semblance of groove. The vocals are (especially Leanne's) are pinch shifted for no reason?? It sounds so amateurish I wonder how people like this get a shot like this.Anyone who thinks this is innovative, inventive or remotely interesting has no taste or point of reference.there is nothing clever about this at all.
This is such a monumental failure... Its just horrible.
