Скачать или смотреть Dank Vapes | Remix

A few days ago, a friend posted an NPR report asking if any of their sound design/composer friends would consider sampling every utterance of “Dank Vapes” in the story and remixing them into some dance music. I’ve been getting more and more into electronic music composition lately, so I thought this might be a good opportunity to try out some of the sampling features in Cubase 10 Pro. The result was better than expected!

Feel free to share if you dig it, but please note that it is 100% just for fun and to demonstrate some of Cubase' capabilities. I am not monetizing this video or this song at all – if you’d like to put your money toward a good cause, why not support NPR by making a donation to your local station?

A disclaimer and a personal admission: I smoked cigarettes/vaped for over ten years starting when I was eighteen. I hid this addiction from my friends and colleagues as best I could, but as a choral composer and singer, the cracks were starting the show. I finally quit cold turkey a little over a month ago (ouch), largely due to the reporting from sources such as NPR that vaping may not be the safe haven that I/we originally thought. I know the jury is still out on that for a lot of folks, but I don’t regret my decision to quit in the slightest. Quitting sucks, but it is entirely possible and I highly recommend it. Please understand that this catchy song is not an endorsement of Dank Vapes or any other form of smoking/vaping; it is just that – a catchy song.
