I forgot about that :D

Hmm, I am sure I can come up with a little something for you
within the week.

Max: Much appreciated. As soon as I am happy I will post my
shitty EP up :P

this one

Sounds kinda a bit like V Snares drums. Can't really say
anything else because without out notes or other stuff its
just drums. Sounds ok at the mo. Its a bit dry. Just have to
see how it develops.

They aren't drums. The are fuck up bleep samples, time
stretched and stuff and then sequenced. The only drum
sample I have in there is a messed about kick drum. Plus
there is other stuff mixed in to the percussion...either way
it's not going to have seperate melodic content...I want to
keep it as it is...I like percussive tracks with incidental
sounds.

well, sir. i enjoyed it, actually, and i don't much care for
stuff like this. however, i kindof agree with mr. promo. it
needs at least SOME kind of melodic something or other. it's
like with gantz graf where for the first 200 times i
listened to it i only heard noise. and then one day i heard
that cute little pingy melody-thinger-ding in the background
and now i love it. do something like that. or something.

hmm, it all sounds kinda plain, not clinical or anything,
just kinda plain. The sounds are great, but the effects dont
do it any justice.
You really need to grunge up some of the sounds or it will
all just sound too samey.
try and make it so it sounds like it hasnt all been done on
a computer.
perhaps re-record some of it from your speakers thru a mic,
or use an outboard multi effect unit, or mix in small
amounts of clipped white noise with some parts to juice it
up a bit.
try taking it, and amplify the bass track until it clips,
then reduce it down again, so the level is the same, but you
have introduced some roughness by clipping it.
then master it through a valve stage or reel to reel. (to
add 3rd and 2nd harmonics respectivly, which do wondors to
anything!
goodluck

Actually there is a little melody in the background, quite
hidden. It's in the middle register making it quite hard to
hear.

It's a decent sample, but I find it impossible to gauge
since it really really feels like it should go somewhere,
and if it doesn't the track sucks... but other than my
cynical foreboding, I think I can say it's decent once
again. =P

Thanks all :D

sneakattack I'm glad someone picked up on the little melody
thing. I think maybe I need to go back to the drawing board
a little with this one though.

So there was a melody in there.

Yep but I thought you meant melody as in a clearly defined
synth line etc...that's what I meant by seperate. The
current melody is sort of an integral part of the percussion
and not really distinct. If ambsace listens another 199
times he will understand what I mean :D

Hi,
of course I heard it.. I think pen expers made everyone a
big fan of that kind of thing =). Well that was a stupid
comment since this is completely different--I like how it is
in a low register hence blends with the other sounds.. the
devil really _is_ in these details. By the way I enjoyed
the track you posted a while back when said you were in a
terrible mood.. keep up the good work

I don't have access to any of that stuff other than a crappy
mic so I tried beat boxing it in and it didn't really work
too well.

In case you can't tell this is a bump.

That was really good braindance, look forward to hearing the
Ep. Nice use of the bleeps for drums. Very impressive

Even with a mic, you can do some pretty neat stuff!

**You can mic your speakers, and mix that in to the source
sound to introduce some realism, by using your room
dynamics.

**You can beat box over it and cut up the beatbox samples
and use them as drums, or just nick some rahzel or something
and use some electronic drum sounds, some sampled drum
sounds and some beat box sounds to make interesting kits.

**You can just sing/whistle/make noise along to it. Listen
to the team doyobi remixes; the MADE remix is like this and
its fabulous!

**Put the mic next to the radio (preferbly one with a tuning
knob or dial) and adjust the tuning in time with the song
and mix this in, for a cool effect. (John Cage did a whole
song like this)

**Put the mic in strange cavities and record the sound from
the speakers via the cavity, e.g. at the end of a long tube,
a rolled up newspaper, a broken wine bottle, a cushion
cover, a mug, etc.

What software do you use? Surely you must be able to clip
sounds by over amplifying them, then reduce them to their
original level. This way they won't be any louder bit will
still have distortion. (Its the method most electronics
circuits use)

I'll just some microphone fuckery a chance one of these
days.

I'm still very much learning. Still experimenting. Up to
this point everything I have done has been done using
software with no external samples other than ones from CD
etc. I am going to start introducing real world elements as
I go along.

Thanks for the advice :D
