I had purchased a Yamaha SO3 for my daughter a few years back. I have "borrowed" it for a while. My experiments was just getting it to work. Nothing fancy, all sounds are from the SO3 itself. I'm very green on this, so I am taking baby steps !

Take Care,

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

hey thats cool though Gene, you gotta start somewhere, and the sooner you learn that MIDI stuff, the better. Theres a lot of cool stuff you can do with it. Did you play everything on that song Live and edit it through MIDI? Or do you paint it on the MIDI grid(IE, cheat, like me, hehe)?

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

Yes, that is what I did. The editing was very simple....making a note a little longer, or different note in the case of a wrong note played.

It is going to take some time, but that's just fine with me.

Take Care,
Gene

Excellent production, in my opinion...very impressive...great piece of work.

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

Thanks voideco and Roy. I guess I should start sharing more of my work here!

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

Yes- that was a Steinway D. C&A #496 actually. I used a pair of cheap Octava pencil condensers spread out about 4 feet apart and about 3 feet away from the piano. I ran them through a bellari rp220. I have a feeling that it had more to do with the fact that it was recorded in a concert hall and with a $93,000 piano. Thanks for listening.

I like your stuff...especially 'Broken Bottles and Bullet Holes'...good songs, all. Keep posting when you can.

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

Allright- I re-mixed the song. So take a listen of a nice Steinway D if you havent already.

That piano sounds great...well played too.

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

I Like it. Now you need to add strings to finish it off.
Good job!

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

I really love your song Saving. This sounds like a song from a movie. Do you have any more songs to share?

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

badperson,
I agree with John Hey...'Saving' is a really good song. If you remix it as you mentioned, let us hear it.
-Roy



Gene Backlin,
'Mornings Dew'....very nice...I especially like the long volume-fade chords in the middle...nice job.
-Roy

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

Thanks Roy, the one to REALLY thank is Allan Holdsworth. His experimenting and incredible search for tone, resulted into a pedal called the UD Stomp. Yamaha manufactured it, but with Allan's insight. Unfortunately it was short lived, but I managed to get one before they were discontinued.

Thanks again for listening !

Take Care,
Gene

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

thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it. I have some more stuff here.

thnaks!

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Sounds really Great !

What was your set up....


Great voice !

Take Care,
Gene

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

Great songs badperson! Just wondering... what mic did you use on the guitar take.. Just friends. I guess you used a mic cuz I hear someone breathing, and I guess that's you! Would be kind a strange if you used a cable on your guitar, and recorded breathing afterwords. LOL

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

I always do my breathing post, it just sounds a lot more authentic that way...

glad you liked it... I used an ntk and a rode nt1a for that track.

thanks again!

Roy,

One-Eyed Gypsy Waltz, WOW!

Everything is right where it needs to be, IMO. Great stuff!

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Hey Gene good to hear from you again! Hah how are those recordings going?

The set-up: Drummer played in one room by himself with: d112 on the kick, SM57 on the snare (top and bottom miked), MXL603 on the hi-hat, MXL2001 on the low tom and a pair of AT3031s for overheads in ORTF

The bassist went straight in from his ampeg SVT-III PRO amp...then through some Waves Maxxbass

The piano player was in the piano room with a yamaha baby grand...used a pair of RODE NT1-as one on the highs one for the lows...pointing slightly outward...

The singer sang into an AKG414...

It was done live-off the floor

Oh I put everything through my focusrite octopre and lightpipe in the 002 and whatever was left over went through the behringer mixer (yes, the B word)


Any complaints on the recording? I'm still wondering how I can make it better...

Thanks for the comments

I wanted to hear it but the link is incorrect.

I tried this one http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/410a77c2...dave/first.mp3 , but got no permission from Yahoo.

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

Cozmo,

In D/L'd Orch, must say it's quite an obscure tune. Very nice bells at the beginning, the whole thing sounds a bit like backgroundmusic for a movie. Very apart, nice. Should listen to some more tunes but I have no access to a broadbandconnection at the mo'. When I'm back home, next wednesday I'm going to check more tunes from everybody.

Still no inspiration for a completely finished arrangement, should be there though. We'll see later on .

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

Roy,

I listened to One Eyed Gipsy Walz. Great piece of music. Very well composed and thoughtfully worked out. Good integration of midi and harddiskrecording. Great song.
Hats off.

Now if my father here knew that the little monitors in the taskbar mean that the thelephone line is occupied I'd have a little problem. Time to go offline now. Greetings from Spain all

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

I'm assuming you are talking to me. I don't remember posting here but I suppose it is possible to find my music if you dig through my web site. I made that track several years ago when I borrowed a friend's proteus and was under the influence of a hallucinogenic substance :P Not exactly a real song.. more of an intro or something, but it is definitely different.

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

Yeah how did I get to your songs, I forgot. Saw your site, the song sounded indeed a bitty psychnautical. Did you make more songs on acid? Very experimental, yet different style than Ummagumma from Pink Floyd. I have used LSD some times but have never been able to do anything with my computer those moments. Too much freakin'

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Hey Peeps...please give us listen. This stuff was all done on my 001 rig using only the 001 pre's and plug-ins. Hope you dig it....

Thanks very much, voideco...

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

Hey Roy,

Nice job on the visually impaired Gypsy! Are all the midi sounds from one source? or do you have a bunch of boxes? I particularly liked the cello sound, and your guitar work is as usual totaly unique to you (That's a compliment!) I love that strangled sustain sound you get, really cool.. nice job on the mastering too, a full range of frequencies, and damn loud!

So, here's the low-fi antidote to your tune, something I wrote for the summer:

"Driving West" - Steve Pond

-S.

a sonic foundry acid production

hope you like it.

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

I like your stuff Steve. Great vocals.

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

SteevP-

Steve,
'Driving West'...what a great song..... I love the chords, the vocals, and especially the style. Your material is always fun, always unique. The changes are very refreshing too. Who were your influences, or at least who's stuff did you tend to admire?


On your questions about 'Gypsy'...first, thanks for the comments. It was one of the first things I did in PT/5.1 with 24 tracks(about 3 yrs. ago now), on a little 700mhz Compaq pc (it only got 11 tracks on the Davec test... ). I'de had it in mind for a while and was glad to be able to get it down. I used only my Korg module for midi, but recorded most of the midi to audio for better control. The drums are all samples, edited the old copy/paste way...pre-Reason, pre-SampletankII, which I now use. I think it came out well given what I had to use at the time. It has yet to be mastered properly, but I'll get to that eventually.

anyway, thanks Steve...

-Roy

reviews
 

Steve - listened to your song. twice. the acoustic guitars i like. electrics are good too but the acoustics i like more. sounds like a mix of beetles, weezer, and no doubt to me. arrangement is solid. vocals are solid. some of the vocals near the end are kind of strange to me (sound kind of high pitched), but hey, to each their own. overall good production and quality job. sounds professional. id like to hear more from you.

Roy - listening to your waltz for the first time now. wow! cool ideas you have. very dramatic stuff. hints of 80s and then ballad styles and then those arpeggating background sounds. very cool. now its turned mellow. after the dramatic it goes into a polka-ish rock ballad. i like this material. you got anymore songs to hear?
