Wicked Trout Solo - JHolmes

20th Feb 2009 08:51 - 17 years ago
Description : My roommate asked me the difference between bass and base. "Well... one's a fish..." The title came from there.

It starts off a bit slow, and the drums aren't amazing, but it's worth waiting for both arp-ish key passages; they're fun.

This is two Sytrus voices, two keys channels, no real effects to speak of (I went back in and threw a compressor on it to stop it from peaking, but that's about it). I wrote it about 6 months ago over the course of two or three days. As with most of my stuff, it's all written out by hand in the piano roll. No loops [I didn't make] used.

Dude, love the feel of this track. It definitely puts you in a chilled out zone. The piano work you did is brilliant. Good work my friend.

Hi JHolmes
Not what I was expecting when I saw Techno as the genre.
Nice playing of the keys, but the track sounds like it needs some sort of depth to it maybe some pads along with the keys would be good in this type of track, Im no expert myself everything I do is by ear im just saying what I feel bud.
Regards

What would you say this should be filed under, as a genre? I've never been terribly good at naming genres when it comes to anything synthetic. I use techno as a catch all for anything with a pretty synth-y feel.

I do everything by ear too, but I have trouble listening to my music how it sounds (I hear it how I want to hear it) so I miss out a lot when it comes to deepening/filling/mastering because it's all there in my head. If I add pads, should I just drop up/down an octave or two and move it the same way as the piano/whatever I'm trying to add depth to? I have a tendency to write harmonies that ramble around and end up taking over the melody eventually, so I'm very wary of wantonly throwing down new tracks on top of the old ones. I end up washing out the sound instead of making it more interesting.
