Reply To: Outkast Vs Beyonce – Check up on it

That’s a tough one:

Should you try to match Otkast’s pitch to Beyoncé’s… or vice-versa?

"Check up on it" has a fixed tonal center, and "Hay Ya" has a "slipping" tonal center (Kinda "modal"… and not "tonal" like Beyoncé…).

I think you should try to pitch Beyoncé’s voice half a step down after "what you see…"… and see what happens…

if you are into chords and stuff this should help:

"Check up on it" has a basic chord progression of –> Gm – Gm – D – D – D – D – Gm – Gm

and "Hey Ya" is –> Ab – Db – Db – Eb – F – F

It’s a nice idea tough…
