Flash - that's what halloweens's all about man! thanks a lot for the vote!
SocialNoise - you'll miss it when they don't come around any more.. thanks man!
muzeman - that is a strange new error message.. hmmm.. I guess it's Murphy's Law and all that..
I appreciate the vote Pete.. I felt like I was starting to annoy, but it's cool that it seems like I'm just paranoid.
'wait a minute!' That's not cool at all!
I was going for a big Neanderthal sound.. I'm glad to hear this one sounds good because I did so many things different.. The biggest being that I recorded it 16 bit instead of the usual 24.. As far as the voices go, it is 2 stereo tracks.. so its actually 4 tracks.. I played the parts with both hands so there is actually 8 different voice notes going.. I ran them through the BBE sonic maiximizer, and a Blue max compressor.. I compressed the voices as if they were strings.. these things seemed to give them a bit more air.. the voice patches were from
my Roland xp-30.. I think you said you had a JV 10-10? If so, you can get the same sounds.. The voice sounds can all be found on the JV 10-10 in the synth/pad bank near the end.. somewhere in the 300's.. thanks for checkin' in, and for the positive word Pete! Let me know if you want to hear more about this recording..
Lt. Bob - hey L - T! you missed my last tune (meds) so I assumed you didn't like it..
that's o.k. thanks for weighin' in man.. I really didn't want people to think I was taking advantage of the clinic or anything.. I wasn't even going to add solos to this because I wanted it to be able to be played in the background and not demand attention.. The more I'm hearing it, the more I'm starting to hear vocals though.. This phrase keeps coming to mind, "give, my creature life!"
I don't know man.. Any improvements in the sound are directly because of this place.. I go over things much more closely than I used to.. You should post some music from your band with your daughter.. I would love to hear some.. and I'm really looking forward to 'turn the page' with crawdad..
thanks Lt.!
Myx62 - thanks a lot! This place makes me try so much harder than I used to, it's very inspiring..
David - thanks! very encouraging man..
Stratomaster - Yeah man, I miss my drums too..
I'm falling into this rut and I really need to crawl out.. I hear you about the guitar sounding a bit muffled.. I was thinking the same thing, but I didnt want the solos to sound too bright.. I really was going for a background thing.. Check out muzeman's and Track Rat's replies for some sound details.. thanks for checking it out Strato!
chrisharris - yeah I seem to have dropped the ball with the drum mix.. there is no snare in the beginning though.. a remix seems to be needed.. thanks for checkin' it out..
kormaniac - NOOOO!
stay on your medication!
thanks for that response man!
Emeric - damn.. I thought I nailed the mix.. I hear you about the bassyness.. I didn't notice the midrange, but it could be all the speakers here are bias.. I was hoping you would have checked out the last tune 'meds' because it had vocals and some stuff.. I'm glad you checked this out though. My event 20/20's are misleading me.. They have a way of hiding extra bass things, and they also make things sound crisper then they actually are.. I heard there was a new update for Quake 3.. I'm going to download it shortly.. I also finally got Unreal Tournaament but I'm still figuring it out.. drop me a p.m. when your into playing.. Try to give me a little advanced warning if possible so I'm not the moron holding people back.. I think I got things going smooth now.. I'm looking forward to getting killed!
thanks Emeric!
mixmkr - I can't believe you were able to revert the picture back to normal.. That's funny!
My buddy just got a really nice digital camera and he snapped a bunch of pictures.. I told him to make them look strange.. As far as the sounds, yeah the XP-30 is stilll cool in my book.. I have never used the sound diver thing, but I hear there are a lot of new sounds possible when using that also.. I am really technologically challenged when it comes to computers.. Thanks for the positive word on the mix, mix.. Since I did this in 16 bit and ran it through the Blue Max compressor, I was wondering what the thoughts were going to be.. I'm going to start a thread in the newbie section shortly.. I hope you'll add some input.. Since you have a ROland, you can definitely get most of these sounds.. except the ones in the very beginning and very end..
That Alesis still comes in handy! thanks mix!
SLuiCe - yeah I really want to see that movie man! It looks great!
I'm glad you fixed your link so you can stop getting pissed at me for mentioning it..
Kramer - thank you for making me feel like I actually know something about anything!
jake-owa - it seems there has been a lot of mentioning of the drums not cutting it.. I think I have to remix.. thanks for checking it out!
Cranky One - gotcha!
Yeah its just the end solo, not the earlier one.. Keyboards rule! thanks One Crankij!
crawdad - I appreciate you voting man.. I didn't want people to think I was hogging the clinic just because I have no life, and I record with every spare minute I'm not working..
I even used the dreaded BBE sonic maximizer on some of the tracks!
I'm glad you think it sounds good because your stuff is pro all the way! thanks crawdad! I'm really looking forward to your version of 'turn the page.' I know your voice is absolutely perfect for it, and Lt.Bob will kick that things ass!
Everyone, thank you!
I see now what you're doing.Going to an external burner from your 788.It sounds pretty damn clean even though your going out analog.Im doing pretty much the same thing with my VF-16 by going out analog/in analog on the computer.I only use the computer for mp3 conversion too.
your a very cool dude, thanks!
