Recording the CD (Part 36)

Well well, long time no update....
Track #4 has been finished, a sort of Intro or Interlude containing a spoken part from W.B. Yeats' 'The Second Coming' poem. I used my Korg Wavestation SR a lot on this one !
A demo of this one can be found on SoundCloud ("Bethlehem")... it's the first mix, however not yet mastered.
I'm spending lotsa time learning all I can regarding the Mastering process... pretty complicated ;)
Track #5 has already been 'started': an uplifting house tune with a MASSIVE beat !! I used the Reason 4 DAW for the creation of the first part w/ some Triton & Roland samples.... sounds really cool ! Sample to follow later on!
Cya!

Recording the CD (Part 35)

Yea, well.... just 2 further changes to 'Wild' befo' mixing'll kick in: Entered a brilliant sample of a thunderstorm @ the start (suits the title & general feel), somewhat reminiscent of The Cure's 'The Same Deep Waters As You' ('Disintegration' holds a zillion memories for me, 1 of the greatest albums EVER, both musically & lyrics wise !!);
Then, I added some ARP sequences to the end chorus part, some squeeky things very much like the last 2 songs by Inna... Fits in beeeeautifully :)
After the 1st rough mix is done, I'll upload a sample.

P.s. just figured out a very classy way (Piano) to convert the SFAS song 'The Hallway' into House territory... Mmm, might end up doing that 1 giving the vocal thing a shot !

Recording wise, track #3 is DONE !! On to the mixing, and mebbe some embelishments here & there.... Definitive title will be 'Wild! (3rd 1's the Charm)'....

Recording the CD (Part 33)

Well, the 1st 5 minutes of "Wild" are done ! After tweaking the main chords in many different ways and positions it's now time for the real, standard melodic chord end section.... Still deciding on the beat: a dive into Jungle/Drum N Bass, or remain in House territory, or Techno... Mmmm, we'll C !
Sample to follow soon.

Brrr...

Took some time configuring the Battery Drum Sampler from inside Sonar... but, phew, finally got some nice results.
Added some Hi Hatt patterns and some kicks to Track#3, check it out here:
Sample from 'Wild! v3.0'

If you're looking for the best in drum samplers, Native's Battery 3 can't be beat :)

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 !
