Description: Welcome to the next series of videos, which is led by the production and authoring team of Stargate! This part is dedicated to the making of “Dancing With a Stranger”, the 2019 chart-topping single by Sam Smith and Normani. Thor and Mikkel reminisce about how they met Sam and how they worked together, then explain how they took the “less safe” approach to writing this song. The duo takes you through a multi-track session to explain how the parts were formed, revealing the synth patches, drum samples, and plug-in settings used to create the recording’s sound. In addition, they share their opinions on vocal mics, detail their tracking and ITB chains, and discuss key aspects of their highly efficient workflow!
