Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6353161 This one's coming from my love of Bebel Gilberto, Buddha Bar, Cocteau Twins, Duran Duran, etc. I even have my wife contributing backup vocals. Lot's of pedals used: BOSS PS-3, BOSS RV-3, BOSS PN-2 (for slow stereo panning), Deluxe Memory Man, Flanger Hoax, Small Stone, PolyChorus, Blackfinger. I'm also using the vibrato and spring reverb in my Vibroverb for the slide guitar part. At 5:16, this one is slow and long, but it's meant to be like a slow-boat to China in a foggy haze, so if you're into that kind of thing, I hope it's worth your time.

Members veil Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 I like that a lot! It definitely fits well with the kind of music that gets on the ESL label. Awesome sense of space. Both you and your lady-unit have great voices. It's probably the most unique/skilled voice I've heard on these forums. Link to your first song?

Here's my first song post (quite different): http://soundclick.com/share?songid=5906738 haha that was a fun song too. Vocals reminded me of a Bond theme, which is totally awesome. It's really nice to hear some non-guitarcentric music on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all guitars (minus the drum programming), albeit heavily processed with pedals to sound like synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jumbo Fuzz Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Man you create some quality work. I was a big, big fan of your last song (and wish you had it available for download). Lots of great things going on this track, but three things that really caught my ear was the tasty, subtle panning, the flange on the vocals and the great slide solo. Very tasty tone on that solo.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks again, everybody! I'm recording with a relatively primitive and budget system. It's an old computer from 2000 with Win98, but it's dedicated, and not networked. I transfer all my files by hardcopy. The software is Cubase 5.0. The soundcard is an M-Audio Delta 1010. The preamps are a Presonus Bluetube DP, ADA MB-1, and an M-Audio Audio Buddy. The mics are a RODE NTK, SM58, AKG D770, and an AKG C2000b. The percussion tracks are a mix of live audio tracks and Hammerhead 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangerous dan Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice tune, some great sounds going on in there. What was that previous song you did a few months ago ? I quite liked that one - has a sort of dark, NIN, electro feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flump Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Generally I would say that is not the style of music I listen to, but that was just really well done. Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 sounds pretty good but you really should just play a keyboard Thanks, Robo. I did play the piano part, but I have more fun playing the pad sounds on guitar. None of my soft synth plug-ins even come close to the tones I get with using volume swells on a guitar.

With all this talk about your playing, voice, and ect., it is easy to gloss over you have some really nice production chops.

Members recovery Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'll join the love-fest. Although not my favorite genre of music, you do it very well. Your voice has a very "80's" flavor... in a good way. I liked your other song too. For some reason I can see this going over better in Europe rather than the states. Nice job!

For some reason I can see this going over better in Europe rather than the states. Thanks!I agree. It seems there isn't a very big audience for my kind of music in the US - for most Americans it's too slow, too mellow, too "ghey," too synthetic, too outdated, etc. Oh well, I'll just keep my day-job Peace Y'all!!!

I recorded the track before I bought the HOG. It's a BOSS PS-3, as well as a BOSS RV-3, a PolyChorus, a Deluxe Electric Mistress, and a vintage Stereo Memory Man (which I've since sold).
