Members cmala Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ted, I'm not a professional by any means just a lurker and a listener trying to learn things. I have listened to a lot of songs on here and they are all great. I wanted to comment on your post of Long Ride Home. I loved the way you mixed it. I guess that's my favorite type of music.....acoustic, just guitar and vocals but anyway, I just thought it was cool the way the guitar kept the song going from the bottom but you always had this higher guitar part dancing around in the top of my head. Man, I wish someone could teach me how to do that stuff!! I'm still working on how to get a clean sound first. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hey, Cmala...thanks for the positive comments...It was a rough demo take...in other words...the current argument is "club owners don't want a demo to sound like it was done in the studio, they want to hear what you sound like live"...so that was supposed to sound more or less "live". Which doesn't necessarily mean "sloppy", it just means "not slick" (you know, no 40 overdubs, choir, string quartet and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I was sitting there listening to y'all.You did use more than one guitar track though didn't you? I mean, that's more than just one guitar playing right?

Members PintoMusic Posted May 24, 2006 Members Share Posted May 24, 2006 Originally posted by Johnny Storm Thanks, Ted! And I agree that the transition in "Lovely Day" is quite harsh, but it's intended to be so. It represents a moment of realization, where everything else stops, and an entirely new thought process starts. A revelatory moment, if you will - and I'm sure you will. The song is about a raver in the '90s, who suddenly has an epiphany about what's really going on. See... this is what happens when you take too long to go back to a clip thread. I was just finishing up "Lemon Frosting" when I read your above post. When I listened to "Lovely Day", that second movement made complete sense to me - now I wonder if I would've felt similar to Tedster had I just heard it cold. Still... both tunes are excellent. Are you performing everything on the recordings? Originally posted by Tedster I think I've posted it before, but I can't remember where (or why, for that matter) The Way It Goes That song has both a rich voice and composition. Originally posted by GeoffonTour Some stuff I put together on cubase with some fairly basic plugins, more guitar stuff coming shortly www.myspace.com/geoffontour04 Geoff.. I was pleasantly surprised to hear this. I too was disappointed that "How Could They" cut off. So... just to clarify... did you use VST instruments in Cubase for all this stuff? I kinda like the piano sound in "Still Awake". This is all I'll get through tonite... I'm looking forward to listening to everything else thread (although I'll obviously skip over my own stuff).

Members alfonso Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 Originally posted by Jimbroni Alfonso's stuff is magical. I'll be placing an order. Sincerely I couldn't imagine a nicer response in such a synthetic comment! I've put a lot of time, heart and...money, just to come out with something that could reflect my musical personality with no compromise, different from the sound design and documentaries scoring that have to take in account decisions taken from others... Originally posted by Steve LeBlanc yeah Alfonso's music is beautiful stuff, love the rhythms...could be a soundtrack to lots of different things Good comments make you happy, it might be an "ego" thing, but I think it's human... The rythm parts in this CD are mainly coming from real instruments, I have some ethnic percussions I bought around, sometimes they are sold as "souvenirs" but sound good, then bongos, shakers and everyday objects. But a big part is coming from dsp modular patches made to emulate skin and body of a percussion with random generators humanizing sequences, and a mix of the two things, real sources processed through granular and other forms of synthetic treating. This concept is found also in some pads. The first track, Polyverse starts with a glassy sound, I used a "sample oscillator" loaded with a recording of a glass (water tuned) played with my finger, much better than a single-cicle wavetable sound...then obviously some formant filters make it talk at some point... Most of the synth sounds you can hear come from modular instruments built from scratch, mixed synth techniques and you won't find anything that could be defined as a "preset"....I started composition from timbral research. Dear forumites, I'm happy that this work is starting to be heard and appreciated, "magic" and "beautiful" are definitions that can make your day (week, month!) Thanks!

Members Magpel Posted November 17, 2006 Members Share Posted November 17, 2006 Some early stage demos of my new band can be heard via the link in my sig. Warning: if you're allergic to MySpace, don't click...We're using these demos to try to recruit a rhythm section (done!) and get gigs, of which we've only had two to date. As I say, early stages.

Members 1manband Posted November 17, 2006 Members Share Posted November 17, 2006 As this is a forum populated by lots of professionals and musicians that should be, I'd love any opinions (especially on how to improve) on my musical attempts. The first few are more standard dancy stuff. My personal favorite is Never Would Have Thought.http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=100469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that main rhythmic element is a step sequenced thing or a tempo-sync delayed thing...it's cool, and it all seems nicely layered.

The rhythmic element I think you are talking about is that old drum loop through a vocoder trick. Thanks for checking it out. I'm looking forward to checking out the music here.

Members Tedster Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Not at all, Magpel...matter of fact, "Dead" is the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the opening notes of "Sweet Clementine"...the very first thing I thought was "Jerry Garcia is supposed to be dead, but, he's singing that track!"...very reminiscent of acoustic Dead. Nice harmonies...catchy tune! The guitar work on "Liverpool" is excellent...very sweet, and when your gal singer comes in with the harmonies it just makes you sit back and go "ahhhhh"... Damn, tell me all about the mics used on your acoustic...all that stuff...it sounds really nice. Above all, the song has really cool vibe to it...it conjures up a really comfy picture in my head. This is my fave tune of 'em all... "Roundabout" to me says "Arlo Guthrie" for some reason, which is cool...maybe also reminds me a little of Jim Croce's "Workin' at the car wash blues" I love the little neo-classical guitar thingy in "Mary Goes Round"...that quick little transition...and the little neo-Django lick at the end...
