Street Ambience - Shamus1

6th Mar 2008 17:08 - 18 years ago
Description : The pad melody was played on a combination of 3 subtractor synths,3 malstroms and a mixer . Combined each gear into one common combinator and programmed the rotaries to control tightness, frequency, reverb and delay. Bass lines was created layering subtractors, malstroms ,which was EQ’ed and added scream kits for warmth. Automation of the synths created movement of the bass. The layered synths was then exported and imported to the NN19 for the final basslines in the track. Comments welcome on all aspects and feel free to criticize. I used Reason 3 and Audacity to chop up beats.

Wow this is a tightly constructed piece. All the instrumentation has good balance and the panning I think is very creative. This is admittedly not my style so I speak without any expertise, but this seems very original. Also it's a little creepy and I like that always. Very cool. Peace and Love, Six

love the drums. Those ghost snares sit perfectly behind that snare. I was hoping for a little more bass
morphing just because this track had that vibe to it. And some more beat chops...hehe just cuz im a photek freak and love crazy programming. Other than that phat track shamus!!

Oh and ps to other people.. yeah phat basslines can take weeks upon weeks to program.

Awesome, and aptly named. I especially like the gated/arpeggiated synth effect in the second half. First half was a little atonal but with that fabulous phat tubular bass, so the song has a lot of good contrast and variation. I agree the kick could be a little 'boomier'. Love it!

Will sure sort out that kick and snare, nice picking up the arpeggiator synth. Glad you fancied the track and bass mould.

this is good stuff,love the bass sound a lot.
great composistion.about mastering,it sounds good to me,i would pitch the snare a bit lower so it would sound like a fat snare just a thought.fantastic work!!!

shamus1 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Mate your about the only one who noticed the snare aint phat enough ,yeah I'm working on that, as soon as my PC is fixed I'll beef up the snare and the kick is a bit weak IMO, the bass fits well though. Noice one RK.

I really focused on the bass,many asked me hoe all I can say is it took me some time and a neat trick I learned,I was playing he part of the compressor myself,automated the volume.Thanks for checking my work expect more.

Something waaaaaaay different. LOL.
Ok, so my friend and I were drinking few weeks ago and we came to idea, as he have 3 small children, to make song for children (nursery rhymes). It was really fun to do and a lot of effort, expecially with vocals. Maybe we will make more in future.
Song is in Croatian, English translation in lyrics.
Love and peace.
