So TikTok is full of people
making their own viral Jiggle Jiggle rap.
(upbeat music)
And trying to auto tune themselves,
using obviously the inspiration from Louis Theroux
and his famous rap that seems to have gone viral everywhere.
Although I've noticed not many people are singing
and doing their own actions.
So, I thought I'd give it a go in this video.
Watch through to the end, and maybe you'll see me
doing the actions to my own Jiggle Jiggle rap.
(upbeat music)
Anyway, it's gone viral on TikTok
quite a lot with people dancing along,
but not actually singing to Jiggle Jiggle.
Louis Theroux, a famous BBC broadcaster,
who's been turned into a rap artist.
Amazing stuff.
I'm gonna attempt to do the same thing here.
I'm currently using Adobe Audition, which is paid software.
But, later on in the video,
I will show you a free option as well.
So don't worry if you haven't got this software.
I have loaded here some of the instrumental
from Louis Theroux's famous Jiggle Jiggle viral rap.
Now obviously I can't play it cause
I'll get a copyright strike.
So if you keep watching, I'll show you how
not to get a copyright strike by using your own music.
And it's very, very simple.
So I'm using Adobe Stock here.
And Adobe Stock audio actually has this really cool feature
called find similar audio,
which is brilliant.
So what I did is I grabbed a little bit of the instrumental.
Clicked here.
And then you can select a file.
And I've got the Jiggle Jiggle original file there.
Then it will load it in.
I can select a part of that piece of music,
and I can even stretch this out if I want.
And then I can say find similar,
and Adobe Stock is gonna find me music
that I can license and use in my video without
fear of a copyright strike.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
So just uploads into the cloud, does its magic,
finds things of a similar BPM and there you go.
There are all your matches that you can license
and get ready to use for your own Jiggle Jiggle rap.
Now, I did this earlier
and I got my own track from Adobe Stock.
And here it is.
It's, it's kind of similar.
Let's called groovy hiphop vocal lounge.
Let's listen to it.
(upbeat music)
♪ Mike Russell. ♪
♪ Jiggle, jiggle. ♪
♪ Wiggle, wiggle. ♪ That kind of thing. You get it. ♪
Yeah, it's, it's similar. And it's got a bit in the end.
♪ Drinking some red, red, ♪
you know, that kind of thing.
Okay, so we can work with this,
and I can definitely work with this.
So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna make my own rap.
And for this video, I wanna be a bit unique.
I really like cycling.
I thought I'd make my own rap about
like climbing the Alpe D'Huez.
And, you know, conquering things on a bicycle.
So that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
So I will now go ahead and record some vocals to this track.
(upbeat music)
And in order to do that,
I think I'll go ahead and use multi track.
And I'll call this Wiggle Rap.
That's just something easy.
Click OK.
And I'm going to drag this groovy track onto track one.
I might need to do this a few times, by the way,
or editor, wink, wink,
you might need to cut if I mess up.
(giggling)
So there is the music.
(upbeat music)
Okay, and now on track two,
I'm actually gonna select as my input just my microphone.
If I click record, that means it's only gonna record
my microphone and not the music.
So I can play the music and the music
won't be double tracked onto a new track.
So I can do something like this. I'm just gonna have a go.
I've ripped my own words.
I mean, you know, I'm certainly not
gonna get a career as a rap star,
but let's give it a go.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
(upbeat music)
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see you gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
♪ It makes me wanna bobble, bobble, you know. ♪
♪ Riding on my bike. ♪
♪ Your legs are on strike. ♪
♪ Climbing Alpe D'Huez like a champion. ♪
♪ No break. ♪
♪ But luckily my feet don't ache. ♪
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sippin' some red, red bull. ♪
It'll just have to do.
(laughing)
So you can see I've laid down my vocal track there.
How do I make a preset for rap?
Okay, there are some really good things that I can do.
First of all, I've disabled recording now.
And this is recorded really quietly.
So let's actually go ahead and favorites.
Normalize that to minus three.
Have a listen.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see you gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
(laughing)
Okay, this is really interesting stuff.
So what I'm gonna do is now I've normalized that
and made that bit bigger.
Let's actually turn down the music track
so we can hear this bit.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see you gobble, gobble. ♪
Oh my goodness me.
Right, we're gonna need some
extra sort of processing on this.
So let's add some effects in the effects rack here.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and add some compression,
cause that makes it fatter and bigger and easier to hear.
So default settings, compressor on.
Let's turn the threshold down a bit.
Let's push the ratio right up to five to one.
That will be good for rap.
Attack and release keep it tight.
And makeup game going up.
Limitor in case we hit the top end there of,
we don't want it to distort.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see your gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
♪ It makes me wanna bobble bobble, you know. ♪
♪ Riding on my bike. ♪
♪ Your legs are on strike. ♪
♪ Climbing Alpe - ♪
Do you know what it's actually not sounding too bad?
We need a bit of EQ though.
And we could actually put the EQ in before the compressor.
We can always swap that around in a second.
So filter and EQ.
Right, there are some,
there are some presets somewhere here for rap.
I'm sure I've seen them before.
Where is the rap preset?
I would love to get rap vocals.
There is a rap vocals preset somewhere,
somewhere in Adobe Audition.
They've created something that does that.
Let's search through a few of those.
Parametric.
Rap vocals.
There you go, I knew it was somewhere.
Rap vocals.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see your gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
That sounds good now.
♪ Makes me want bobble bobble, you know. ♪
♪ Riding on my bike. ♪
♪ Your legs are on strike. ♪
♪ Climbing Alpe D'Huez like a champion. ♪
Okay, well, well we're getting there.
I can probably do a few more edits
to keep me on the beat there.
But I'm just gonna actually chop this up now
because at the end we've got some.
(upbeat music)
♪ Some red, red bull. ♪
Okay, so just to make that good.
And don't worry, the auto tune is coming in a second.
I'll show you how to do that.
Cause that's seriously needed, isn't it?
Let's see if we can do a little cut here.
So I, again, I could use Adobe Audition Remix,
but I really want to get this right in at the right place.
And I think we'll start with something like that.
Let's mute out my vocals.
(upbeat music)
Play.
(upbeat music)
Okay, we're just slightly off beat there.
Nearly on beat.
(upbeat music off and on)
Okay, now we're on beat.
(upbeat music)
Don't worry that it sounds all over the place at the moment.
We'll soon edit that up.
Just as long as we're getting the beat on the right place.
It's not quite, not quite on the beat there.
So let's sync those beats up.
And then you see I'm gonna, like,
finalize this and make this really cool.
So delete, delete, and zip.
There we go.
All right.
(upbeat music) Okay, we need you to do a cross fade there
to make it more natural.
(upbeat music)
Perfect. That will work.
And then bring the vocals back in.
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
(laughing)
Okay, and then we need like.
♪ Red bull. ♪
We need probably, actually it could just end like that.
That's absolutely fine.
But if I wanted to make it a neat and tidy end,
I'd grab probably the last couple of seconds
of the rap track that I've licensed from Adobe.
Put it onto a new track
and then just wax some reverb on there.
Let's go to reverb, studio reverb.
And we'll go for vocal reverb large.
♪ Bull. ♪
There you go.
And you can just hear the decay on the last note there.
So we've got this.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble. ♪
All right, now before I go and do anything else,
I'm gonna OCD this.
Control or command, back slash will give you
a sort of bird's eye view.
Oh, and shift E, by the way, a really good shortcut.
Boom, gets rid of the tracks you're not using.
Shift E, control or command back slash.
Now we're sort of working with what we're working with.
Okay, so let's cut this so I'm on the beat
and sounding like a pro rapper here.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
(mouse clicking)
So let's start off with this.
Let's move this.
Let's move "On the mic," on the beat there.
And we'll move that there.
(upbeat music)
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
Okay, bit unnaturally.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
♪ My bike don't wobble. ♪
Okay, let's bring that in there.
♪ My bike don't. ♪
♪ My bike. ♪
Okay, so my bike needs, bike needs
to be on the beat really, doesn't it?
My bike.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble. ♪
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
Okay, I'm playing catch up there a bit.
So let's stretch that out a bit.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
Okay, again, stretching.
Just clever little cutting tricks to make me keep time.
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see you gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
♪ It makes me want. ♪ Okay, again, I'm losing time. ♪

just to see if we can make it sound better.
♪ No break, but luckily my feet don't ache. ♪
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top, ♪
♪ Sipping some. ♪
(laughing)
Just a little bit outta sync there at the end, so I'm gonna.
♪ Eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
And then the, the final thing to this rap
is just gonna be some beautiful auto tune.
Which is so easy to do in Adobe Audition.
Time and pitch. You can even do it in multi-track.
Automatic pitch correction.
And then we've got, oh, we've even got
preset extreme correction.
And let's listen to what it does.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble. ♪
So let's see here.
♪ It holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see you gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
♪ It makes me want bobble bobble, you know. ♪
♪ Riding on my bike, your legs - ♪
Your hear the correction going on there.
♪ Climbing out Alpe H'Duez like a champion. ♪
♪ Don't break, But luckily my feet don't ache. ♪
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
Okay, and you can hear a little bit
of a key correction there.
We're on the chromatic scale, but if I was to put
it onto, say, C major, let's listen.
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
You can hear a bit more of a correction going on there
and you can choose your key. ♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
(chuckling) That's a bit off, isn't it?
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
So you can do all kinds of things like that by playing
around with the scale and the key and getting it tuned in to
the piece of music you're actually using.
Chromatic will give you a sort of lighter auto tuned feel.
So it's worth to bear that in mind.
I think I'll actually leave this on C major.
I quite like what was going on there.
And then just the final touch in Audition before
I skip over to some free software.
And that would be to either add some reverb or some echo.
We could do some echo actually.
Let's listen to the beat of this.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so we've got one, two.
We've got one, two there.
One, two.
Okay, so 650 there.
So to add in some echo really easily,
all we do is go to this track.
And we go delay an echo, echo, and then we just go 650.
And say on the other side to make it
slightly stereo and spacey, 651.
♪ Russel on the mic, on the mic. ♪
♪ My bike don't. ♪
Okay, that's a little bit too intense, that echo.
So I'm gonna bring the feedback and echo level down,
so it's a little more background specific.
And back to the start.
♪ Mike Russell on the mic. ♪
♪ My bike don't wobble, wobble, it holds. ♪
♪ I'd like to see your gobble, gobble, for sure. ♪
♪ It makes me wanna bobble, bobble, you know. ♪
♪ Riding on my bike. ♪ ♪ Your legs are on strike. ♪
♪ Climbing Alpe H'Duez like a champion. ♪
♪ No break, but luckily my feet don't ache. ♪
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
(pop can opening)
(laughing)
Okay, so there you go.
That is how you can create your own viral Tik Tok rap
that kind of, you know, gets close
to what Louis Theroux was doing there
with Duke and Jones with the Jiggle Jiggle rap.
Okay, so you've seen it in Adobe Audition.
You've seen how easy it is to work in Adobe Audition.
I highly recommend working there,
but not all of us have paid audio editing software.
So over here in Audacity, you can do a similar thing.
And I'm going to just do the last few lyrics
and show you how I can auto tune and get that
similar sound effect and do everything I've just shown you,
but for free over here.
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sippin' some red, red bull. ♪
Okay, so there's a little sample
of the track recorded in Audacity.
And then I've installed an effect here called GSNAP.
Now GSNAP is a free auto tune plugin.
You can download it and I'll put a link in the description
to this video so you can go grab it for yourself.
Really easy to install once you've downloaded.
You drag it into the Audacity plugins folder
on your computer.
You gotta add remove plugins and you look for GSNAP.
It'll be somewhere here in your list of plugins.
And when you find it, just make sure it's enabled.
Click enable if it's not there.
And then I can go into effect.
I can go to GSNAP right here.
I can select this.
And if I wanna work really quickly and get the same effect
as I had over there in Adobe Audition,
I'd click the hamburger menu here, factory presets,
and share the pain is a great preset.
I think that's a little bit of a kind of play on the fact
that T-Pain likes to auto tune a lot.
So select that one, play back the preview.
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
Okay, you can hear like subtle, kind of,
auto tune going on there.
But we can, we can easily go for different presets.
So we'll go for snappy C major.
And we'll start from the start again.
Play.
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
I obviously you can hear there's lots more
snapping and tuning going on there.
We can select which notes we want to use.
I mean, obviously the less of the notes that we choose
the more auto tuned it's gonna be.
♪ I've got a cake to eat on the top. ♪
♪ Sipping some red, red bull. ♪
So there you go.
That's probably just having one note there at the bottom.
Just that slight woo auto tune.
Just the same as you get in the Jiggle Jiggle rap
from Louis Theroux.
