Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

I'm gonna try my best to hear ALL the tunes!!!

Kirk95-Forgotten man is shhhhwwweeet! Dig that Ztar & the 57' Les Paul!

Kris-Been playing Ziggy Wiggy for the last half and hour!!! Nice man!!
DMK- Like the harmonies in Surrender.

All this stuff sounds great!!!
Keep em' coming my fellow MacDigians!!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">thanks Gorilla! "Surrender" is the most "pro-tooled" song on our album. In retrospect, I regret some of the obsessive things I've done. after our drummer recorded his tracks, I spent half day cutting every drum hit to be precisely on time. Then I used sound replacer to replace the kick, snare and toms. along with that, those great harmonies are auto-tuned like crazy (I don't think you can hear it though) I also cut and pasted guitar parts...pretty much sucked the life out of it basically!


just listened to your track: "Asphyxiate". Way intense! pretty dark! I would worry if my kids listened to that kind of music [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
just kiddin'!

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

I've got several songs available on my website - the songs marked 'demo' aren't really produced or mixed yet, but others are worth checkin' out.

www.kevinmckeever.com

"When I Loved You", "Subject to Gray" and "Memorial Day" are my favorites.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Nice to see people representing.

Gorilla I sometimes make some dark tracks, but, man, you are EVIL !!!! (in a good way) Super trippy dark scary sound. Caught me completely by surprise !!!!


Fonda is rockin', Slim shady nice sound, very clean, listening to forgotten man right now,

ALL OF THIS STUFF IS GOOD !!!!

Keep it coming, EVERYONE

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Check my sig.

I'll listen and comment on your guys' (and gals?) stuff when I get home and in front of my studio monitors.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Stu and Ben...I really appreciate the good feedback on 'Paint the Desert Wind'... I think it came out well too. Ben, I wrote the broad music theme and played all the 'stuff', to which Paul wrote the melody, most all of the lyrics (I only added a few verse lines), and sang all the great vocals. The mandolin runs were created in another session, and imported into the song.

I really respect Paul's songwriting expertise. He and I made it clear from the get-go that we would be brutally honest creatively, and we are. But even his first ideas are excellent. He came back with those tracks after having the piece for just one day. I was amazed, but also knew I had to make the mix live up to the tracks I had. (Whew!...glad that's done... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )

Also, thanks to my friend pk_hat(thanks pk) for the custom loops he made me recently, some of which I used for 'Paint'.


thanks you guys... ~Roy

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Man, some great stuff indeed. Wide range of style's too.
Kirk95; or should we call you golden tone [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] WOW!
Asphyxsiation made scared, [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] so,good job [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Slim, I was expecting different, (silly assumption on my part,username [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] ),Man was I pleasantly suprised,
I figured it'd be pro,DUC veteran an all,but musical virtuoso too [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
Greenshoe; nice vibe,your site works sweet/fast

Peace.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Gorilla: that riff in asphyixiation is getting stuck in my head...good work

Kris Whitten: I really liked both of your tracks - it's refreshing to hear something that isn't guitar-based on these recording-related boards here... sounds like a cross between St. Germain and Basement Jaxx...on ****urbritches, the interplay between the bass-beat and sax is great...just my opinion, but i would edit down the first 1:30 so you get to the really good stuff in the track sooner...i really like the groove you lay down after that.

Kirk95: Forgotten Man is way cool - musically, I liked it better than Wired for Loud, though the latter had a better mix in my opinion. The guitar solos in Forgotten Man sound like they're clipping though...maybe a tad hot in the mix

DMK: strong songwriting and performances; good luck on the CD; as for the pro-toolsy sound you alluded to, you can always blame it on the converters [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Slim Shady: of all the songs, I liked Something to Live the most - though you say it's a demo. I especially love the keys and vox harmonies in that song...the vibe and punchiness reminds me of Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai which is probably why I like it the best

Okay, that's all I've gotten through so far. Will post more later...

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

EricHSound:very nice, the snare reverb in "warm road" is cool, real front to back depth more back than front.can I borrow the royer [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Sneaky Pete: Musically it's a fun song, I sorta wish you loved the hippie girl,hippie girls are people too,and I guess
I feel promotin' love is better than promotin' hate.
Dreamstate:already broken, I like it, I remember another post thinking when the distorted guitars (I think's it a bass) come in they were too hot, nah, I disagrea I like where there at.


NEXT

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

A quick tune from a few hours of playing and somewhat more editing and mixing. Its my first more or less complete tune done in the PT era. Real hasty, with me on everything but drums, so there are some funky tuning and timing issues, but it rocks. Its called "Race to Judge." There are other tunes on the page from my Roland years. Binge and Purge.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

What a refreshingly positive and friendly thread! Thanx Gorilla.

I think I’ll stock up a a couple of beers and listen tonight. I love to listen to peoples stuff here on the DUC, you never know what you’re gonna hear, and most of the times you get blown away.

Go to my homepage navigate to the page with my friends’ and my music and listen to the last "Drysser" on the list. Its work in progress. You might also want to listen to "Kryp". All this is stuff we do just for fun.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

This is GREAT!!!!! It's like buying C.D.'s blindly....you won't know what ya got, till you spin it!!!!
Mannnnn Ben....I still dig that "Little Wing" cover!
I aint got time to respond on each individual one, but YES....I've listened to at least one track by ALL. And some aren't my normal genre of listening, but I can say this.....I aint heard no CRAP yet!!!
It ALL sounds great so far!!! And I'm being 110% truthful here!!!.....honest.....really I mean it..... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Here's a new breaks track called mini -

http://www.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/La_Sonica/index-2.html

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Thanks GORILLA! No Ztar on Forgotten Man. That's a Strat through a Arion chorus and a bunch of delays panned around. If you want Ztar check out "For You For Me" further down the page. The sax-like solo in that tune is the Ztar midi controller.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Thanks archtop! I really like the name Golden Tone! ;-D That's a great complement! I have worked real hard on getting my guitar tone just right over the years. It's a never ending quest!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Good ears Greenshoe, thanks for catching that. Those are really quick mixes. I think I mastered a little too hot in T-racks. These are early tracks for my next CD that I am tracking right now. I have 24 new tracks/tunes in progress right now. Once I get everything tracked to satisfaction...an endless quest of course. I will get down to serious mixes and then send out for real mastering. BTW, I read your bio...you should go read mine on my site. Similar rediscovery of music!

I am hoping to check out everbody's tracks this weekend!

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Like Ken, my latest is actually from Convergence (the DUC dream project) too. It's called, "Lightyears". To hear it (and others), click on the link in my signature below, enter my site, click on 'Music' and you'll see an index of my tunes.
I'm working on some new stuff now which will be on the site soon.

BTW - Great idea, Gorilla. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Doc, real pro sounding, Convergence The Dream, is so cool.
I'm sure at the end of one your track's there's a monkey having a hard time swimming [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Sounds COOL Gene!!!!!! I like that plugged/unplugged idea at your website!!!! What are you using for the solo in 'Waving Goodbye"?
Yeah Kirk95...I didn't think that was the Ztar in that song. I just think those Ztars look insane!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Happy 4th of July for those who celebrate it!

(post pushed up for the occasion!) Enjoy

In God We Trust

It's live with a 50 member choir. I used a couple of M012 Octava mics for the choir.

This was recorded live last Sunday night at the last night of our first patriotic musical program using my 001 plugged into the house mackie board. We're hoping to put together a CD with what we recorded over the 4 nights of performace.

I wrote the words and music for the song, and it was performed by Randy Bills who deserves credit for the choral arrangement.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Slim! Whoaaa! Julia Fordham! What a cool gig!
Does she still do "love moves in " mysterious ways, Vinnie Colauta nailed the drums on that track, and manhattan shyline? I love those songs. Had to go dig out the cd,s.

Your stuff is cool too.Polish them demos [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I hope to get a web page up this summer and will post stuff then.
Lots of stuff here. Will listen more when I have time.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hello Friends.

I have a new tune up on my Mp3.com website.
Please go ahead and check it out. It goes a little different direction then my other stuff, its got a lot of synth and a heavy driven guitar chorus.

www.mp3.com/agenda_entropy

the song is called: "Execration"

If you can understand the lyrics, I think they are listed under "Song Information"

Many are familiar with recent situations in my life, so, this song I think is the summing up of the past three years of my life after heavy reflection.
Thanks.
=-Ben

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Hi there,

wow... nice stuff!!!
I did some demo-recordings with my band. It's more into rock/ power-pop... maybe someone is interested.
The url is http://www.tubestar.de than click "mp3".
And for those who don't understand german *g* follow this link, please: http://www.tubestar.de/mp3-main.htm

By the way - this is my first project... so show some mercy ;-)

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

So much to listen to and so little download left this month. I've only got about 80 Meg of 1 Gig left. Bummer. I'll be checking everything out soon though.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I assume the track you mean is 'Outside Everything'. Actually, that's the sound of Seagulls drowning [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] . Well, really it's the sound of Seagulls mixed with bubbles, processed through the envelope follower in my System 100 synth.
