Title: Ellie Goulding sound
Post by: stelpap on August 24, 2017, 06:34:26 PM
Hi guys,

I was wondering - what are in your opinion the most characteristic elements of Ellie Goulding - Delirium album?

Any tips/tutorials available/interviews would really help.

I am talking about all aspects - from composition to vocal production to mixing to lyrics to whatever you can imagine.

Every help is much appreciated guys!

Thank you,
S

Well production-wise, I personally when trying to get a certain sound just listen to a bunch of their songs and then try to copy the production as close as I can, you can learn a lot just by copying other artists, then you can see what makes her music 'her's'.
There are certain vocal lines she likes to use (or atleast her producers :D) copying her songs is the best you can do
note. when I say copy, I mean for learning purposes, I'm not saying to steal her songs.
Once you know how her songs work you can try incorporating some elements into your productions

Thanks for the info. That was really useful :)

Do you think that her producers use any 808 - 909 drum machines to achieve her drums sound?

I'm mainly asking for her "Delirium Album"

Thanks!

Well, it would be great if you suggest a specific song to analize.
Every song is a world.
