woah, you didn't have to post that many did you?
Anyways, Ill try to answer all your questions in one post.
Lover's hill was definitely mastered.Although maybe next time I master it Ill tinker with bringing up the levels. As for the bassyness of it, I know. I think it was the way I played the bass. I wanted it bassy with attack sorta synth like. But its a good thing you brought it up. Ill Try to add more dimension on it later.
Break ing of Mel Sound: it's funny you should say modern old bowie, cuz I only listen to a lot of modern bowie( post Tin Machines). Im really going for the production of Brian Eno that was done with Bowie's Outside album. It definitely can be heard in Lover's Hill. But I was intensionally going for a very raw and barebones for Mel Sound. Mel's story is sort based in the 1920's hense the ending "talkie" movie theatre thing.
Emerald I, i get a lot of response on that. In the forum's and everywhere.
Ciirclesprint, yup thats a vocoder at the end "laced" with cocain.no.. with a pretty simple saw tooth lead wave form synth.
Harmony follows Unity:thought I'd combine two songs together. Then in the middle of the last one, add a smaller song. I get bit for the crash samples i used in Unity(1st song). So don't listen to it again just to hear the crashes. You'll be unpleasantly irrated.
If you want to see a list of influences just click the bio link somewhere on that page.
Really Mad Monsters: distortion I used was a Korg Toneworks Hyper Distortion pedal. It was my friends and I just quickly lay down the tracks when he was out for a few hours. No I didn't knock him unconsious, he left my house to do something.
1984 is my genius baby. I must say it's one of my most bravest attempts at rock opera.I surprise myself at the complexety of the composition.I hope I could pull it off sometime in the future.Unfortunately I did all the vocals with a
Shure SM58.
As the song was recorded before I got my trusty Rode NT1 condenser mic which is pour bliss. I recommend that mic for your first cond. mic. as it is
my only one. heh.
You know I might give Mr.Bungle a listen as it is the lead guy's solo thing from Faith No More. I sorta stray aaway from Faith because it has such a heavyness to them that I really can't get into without really..anyways.
Are you sure it was a gif at the beginning or did you rename it as a gif. If it was a php extension then it wont be saved animated. as it's a java thing i think.
