Recording the CD (Part 30)

Heya!
After a short time-out I'm back on track #3 (vacation period, so I'm kinda sssslow :) !
Been through all the samples in this HUGE soft synth called 'Massive' & mangled the main theme quite a bit.... beyond the point of recognition haha.
Gonna use that stuff @ the beginning of the tune, gives it a somewhat techno feel. Samples to follow in a week or 2.
Well, I'm off now to check out a Korg Karma Synth which I plan on buying :)
Cheerz and have a great w-kend !

Recording the CD (Part 29)

Installed the M-Audio 2496 card yesterday and all went x-tremely well :) . Sound is crystal clear and thunderous. Midi tranmission works perfectly both ways, so now on to installing all the software, should be easy I guess as all is compatible w/ 64bit OS... they say ;) .

Recording the CD (Part 28)

Brrrr, bizzy installing the new computer.... slurps away huge amounts of time. 1 thing's 4 sure: the onboard Audio Controller doesn't cut it (that's a surprise ;) .
My M-Audio Audiophile 2496 just got in, so I'll be installing that 1 this w-kend (gotta grab some cables & stuff 1st).
In the meantime... I'm composing track #3 which is a reincarnation of the S.F.A.S. song 'Wild!' (which I wrote somewhere in 1984 I guess). This is a different approach as opposed to writing and recording everything on-the-fly, which is pretty relaxing, although the output cannot be sampled and shared with y'all right now :) .
It's getting a wee piano-ish, with a slight trancy/house flava, haha ...
I'm planning on doing some vocoded vox myself (originally intended for Jo S., but alas, all contact has been broken off I guess....).
Cya in a few....

Now that's what I'd call 'Wild!' :)

Recording the CD (Part 27)

Well, just finished mixing the drumtrax for ' Starbirth & Death', which was a kinda easy job to do as all the patches/samples were already neatly in-tune sonic wise. Just kept 'em outta the reds, to avoid clipping and stuff....
On with the rest.
I'm considering using Pro Tools 8 for the next track(s), to keep things a tad more interesting.
New PC is on its way (Pentium i7 4x2.8 w/ 6GB RAM) & I'll have to wait & see what Windows 7 Pro will bring (probably some migraine to start with :).
Bought a VERY nice Korg Wavestation SR Rackmount t'other day & my new weapon of choice in Soundcards is the M-Audio Audiophile 2496.
Peace!

O yea, for those who are wondering WFT, I'm outta the running 4 the S.F.A.S. reunion project... To be the 1 NOT throwing dirt & starting hatemongery (or to put it in a more simple way, calling any1 a faker and/or the most ugly person ever), let's just say there have been some personal differences (ever so popular).
