The Way You Make Me Feel ~ At video link ~ Listen to Michaels pure vocals, foot tapping and beat boxing during a presentation by Bruce Swedien at an Audio Pro Show in Seattle 1993. ~ Michael records in the dark, this guy is such a pro and hell dance. Picture this, youre looking through the glass and its dark, but a little pin spot is on him and youll see the mic here and hell sing his line and then he disappears and hes right back in front of the mic at the precise [time] ~ Bruce Swedien Bruce Swedien on The Way You Make Me Feel (extended dance mix) ~ “I was in the studio one day, making a special mix of TWYMMF for one of my seminars. I took all the band tracks out of the mix, and left in only MJ’s lead vocal track, plus his finger snaps track, and a track of MJ’s mouth percussion (Michael is a master at beat-box mouth percussion. He can be an entire rhythm section all by himself!) I thought that way my class could hear all of MJ’s beautiful lead vocal, with his dancing sounds effect the overall sonic picture. I would hate to record Michael with what I would call the clinical approach. If I were to try to have MJ’s sound antiseptically clean, I think it would lose a lot of its earthy charm. When I was doing the mix, Michael came into central room and asked me what I was doing. I told him, and he said to me ‘It sounds incredible! You should work on that mix just a bit more, and let me hear it!’ I wondered what he was thinking about. I thought to myself, ’What small rhythmic sound would work to enhance this already slammin’ track?’ I tried the high-hat in the mix with Michael’s lead vocal. The danceability of Michael’s lead vocal with only the high-hat added was astounding! Wow! What a sound! Then I had a brainstorm! After a verse and a B section, I put in the vocal background chorus with Michael’s big block vocal harmony chorus. That chorus, with all the finger snaps and dancing knocks you right against the wall when it comes in!! I called Michael into control room and played for him. His face lit up, and he started dancing all over the control room! When the music stopped, he said, ’Wow!! call Epic Records, and tell them to put your mix out, exactly like this, as a dance record, a club record!’ What happened was that Epic Records put out my dance mix of TWYMMF, it went to number one on The Dance Charts in Billboard, and stayed there for three weeks!”- Bruce Swedien The Way You Make Me Feel extended Dance mix ~ mp3box.to/user/player/?song=208243 The Way You Make Me Feel extended Dance mix ~ mp3box.to/mp3/download-the-way-you-make-me-feel-dance-extended-mix-208243.html Bruce Swedien on recording Michael and Michaels pure vocals ~ youtu.be/TK_rX4MjvA4
