    It's great that by playing the filtered and unfiltered version together in the end, gives the track a lush and vintage feel which adds to the song vibe.

      @2 Broke Gamblers I don't know if this technique is used in the original version, or if this is a common production technique. I imagine that, since ill used it in his recreation, probably is also used in the original.

    Say So reminds me of the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards Chic sound. I appreciate disco more now knowing that most of it was made using instruments. Keeping a 4/4 beat on the drums without a metronome is hard to do. Tony Thompson, Nile & Bernard made it look easy in the finished product.
    With that said, listen to "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps or "Grooveline" by Heatwave. Both songs are long versions originally, cut down for radio airplay. Amazing stuff.

      uNknown rMx I’m not one of these DAW proselytizers, so that wasn’t the point. But I can usually hear the sound quality of different software, and I’ve seen this guy use Logic before, so I was just pointing it out. It doesn’t really matter, and the finished product sounded good. But it is true that Doja uses Logic, and I thought I read at one point that the producer of the track-the #1 pop hit guy, Dr. Luke-used Cubase/Logic.
