d/l sanfer.... it works ok.... don't know if you wanted feedback or not, but I gotta say it didn't do anything for me........:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i am looking for feedback. thanks for your opinion. i posted up another. both are works in progress. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

sanfer is basically just fucking around. all the synths are live, and i took about an hour or so to make. wind catcher is something i've been working on for a few days now. it still need to be cleaned up a little. |

i'll have a listen to the other one tonight after work............ |

no file extension on wind catcher........ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
sorry, im new to this. it should work now. i put up another called "moonshine", which i made over a year ago. thanks for listening. |
||||||||
|

ok then.... hipster (wind catcher??).... sounds are more interesting than sanfer, obviously needs developing with more variation and some other lines in it......... the beats at the end need variation and are a bit generic, i think, in terms of the sounds used...... I guess i find more than a couple of bars of the same thing boring, yeah? moonshine.... more of the same, i'm afraid..... it was only 1:05 in length, so i guess i missewd most of it??? maybe it developed at he end, i'm not too sure..... i guess thats my message..... more frequent variation in melody, rythmn and sounds (including eq and effects)....... |

darkpromenade - thanks for the comments. as far as the drums being repetitive on wind catcher, well they're supossed to be, the song as a whole is supposed to create a drifting/wave like atmosphere with the synths, thats why i didn't go crazy with the drums. but like i said it's still a work in progress, i'm actually trying to simplify it a bit. moonshine is an expierement with a 36 or sec. syth loop i played that repeats about 3 times, with suttle synth variations, again it's supposed to be another mood piece. recycle- yeah, right now i've got about 50 or so tracks from about the past couple years or so. these songs to me are like sketches. everyone of them is created out of a melody and or drum pattern that i'll come up with in my head beforehand. nothing all that special or complex. just something i think sounds good . :) |

solid mate. do you have a scene/club action going on where you live ? where abouts are you. |
||||||||
|

|

the club scene in rhode island is your basic gangsters and hoes free for all. nothing all that interesting. there is one club called "hell", which is the only one i've found that plays techno on a regular basis. but i'm always leary of going there because it's in down town providence, and people get shot at all the time over there. not to mention my car has no locks and i have to hot wire start it. actually, i've just started to organize alot of these songs into three different albums. but i have absolutely no idea how to get them out. or if anyone would acually want to hear them, besides my friends. |

rhode island has gangsters ? hahahahhahah, no really they do ? isnt the state like 6 miles long, wow yeah stay away from Hell, i would, some things just arnt worth it nice ride you have there :) cars are just shite, to get from point A to point B, no worries. your musix, you could, if your bored, send your demos out. you would be suppried who would help you here on the board. other than that just hand out the tunes your self and enjoy your friendships and family are we frineds (hint, hint) |

Um. It was ok. Moonshine - Beats were weak sounding... I didn't like the sound of the pads... Hipster 5 - kind of a cliche... still had weak sounding beats, I think you could probly raise the resonance on the filter for the main drone by about 7 while lowering the cutoff frequency (that is a lowpass filter if I am not mistaken) by about 10. I also suggest that you lower the envelope ammount on that filter, so it doesn't sound so mechanical... it has this nasty rigid envelope feel that you could do without. Maybe use some reverb to flavor the sound a bit so that its less noticable. You should also use more of a menacing arpregio throughout it. Thats what I have to say. |

recycle- thanks for the kind words taxidermist- yeah, the beats are overwhelmingly cliche, but with a twist. to be completely honest, i just like fucking around with hip-hop beats, it's fun, and it sounds catchy. posted a new one "sand", it might take about 25 min. for the page to load back up (fucking geocites) this is just basically something i made to play when im driving in my car. alot of the new stuff i'm working on is really plactic sounding, i'll have to post some older stuff soon. |

I mean this in the nicest way, but its the idea of someone from leftwing-style music making 'plastic' music that kind of seemed cliche to me. I want to hear something that speaks to me, not something thats ironic. I would suggest maybe making some compressor patches for your beats... just some general patches that improve the sound of the beats, just so they sound a bit fuller. If you ever finish the song for a demo, just tweak and enjoy. Nothing bothers me more than a beat that could sound really effective had it been mastered properly, but ends off soundling like it has erectile disfunction. |

"straight from my file manager" should be an album like "straight out of compton" |

i really have little idea what your talking about....compressor patches, cutoff frequency? i kind of get what your saying. but i'm not interested in making any of these sounds, sound "right". if they sound rigid or annoying, all the better. the only thing that does bother me, and always has, is the sound of the drums and how un-organic they sound. what can i do to make them sound more organic ?(i'm using reason by the way) |

well, if you open up a maelstrom synth, and just rout your drums through the back into the filter (be carefull not to play any notes on that instance of the maelstrom or the filter won't work on your drums), then switch the filter to the comb + or - and then just turn the resonance up a bit, that should add some more organic color to your drums. Also, small room reverberation and distortion/compression works wonders... makes them sound much fatter. With things like reverberation though, you don't want the wet to be up too high. 5 or 10 percent is all you need. Makes it sound more as though recorded in a room. Also humanizing your notes a bit can work wonders too. Makes it sound more like a person playing them (even if they are digital sounds). to do this just set your note resolution to 64, and move the occasional beat one or two notches ahead or behind where it normaly would fall. This, however, only works in the sequencer window, and not in the matrix sequencer or the redrum sequencer. I am just giving you advice in making a more organic sounding music. I hope you don't take offence. The thing about the filter envelopes was they sounded too mechanical.... :) I hope you understand what I mean... |

No, no offence taken at all. i appreciate the tips. i have a question though(sorry, i'm not very comp. savvy) how should i connect the wires from redrum to a mealstrom? do the main outputs on redrum go into mealstrom? (i have no idea what im doing here) |

"Also humanizing your notes a bit can work wonders too. Makes it sound more like a person playing them (even if they are digital sounds). to do this just set your note resolution to 64" how do i go about doing that? isn't it in the audio or sound card option? this would help me out because i had to sell my alesis micron so im working without a midi keyboard. |

No... when you are programming your melodies, you know how you can set it to full notes, half notes, quarter notes, etc? That is the quantization resolution of your sequencer. Set the resolution to 1/64 (it says 'Bar' by default). Then, just move them one or two notches over either way... makes it sound less like a computer programmed it. This is called humanization. You can also change the velocity of each hit slightly, so that it doesn't always come through as loud, and sounds more like it was done by a human hand. This is also part of humanization. |
