Thanks. I was winding the Victrola. Turns out stretching and pitching parts of two different royalty free performances is a bitch and a half. I could make a fortune on the streets selling "crackle."

:D

BTW, let me know when you want to drop a bunch of random MP3s in a folder for me to mangle, I'm ready for MARKENSTEIN II

Thanks. Classical and Jazz history is more important than people realize. You should start with the Ken Burns Jazz documentary (PBS). It will open your world up to a whole new place to sample from.

Thanks for listening. Most of my lead is improv takes, I don't really "write" the parts.

Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Thanks, for some reason this one became the most popular... I'm terrible at marketing.

TTYL.

This one exceeded FLStudios 128 track limitation. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the listen and comment.

Thanks. This one ended having the most faves out of the various lofi I've made.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

I'm down for whatever, all I have is time for a while. Email me and we will line something out.

And thanks for the listen and fave, TTYL.

Thanks for listening. When you have time to chill, check out the whole album, 70+ min of songs within songs... enjoy.

Pitter Patter...

Make sure to check out the entire album when you have the time (dinner or something):

Thanks for listening.

I test sounds against the rest of the mix. If I can't hear them, I don't use them. This helps me to keep things in relatively separate frequency ranges, without much mixing. Much of the ethereal stuff never repeats, which takes a lot of samples for a 5:45 track, especially when they are layered.

I also tend to use loops and samples that are already in the correct tempo or key, rather than having to do too much stretching and pitching. This is more for economy than sound quality, though sometimes you want that "stretched," or "contracted" sound.

Anyway food for thought. Thanks again. More to come.

Gracias por escuchar y comentar. Esta pista utiliza la mayor cantidad de sonidos totales de cualquier pista que haya hecho (más de 150).

Tengo nuevos procesos que llevarán ese número mucho más lejos. Pronto me encontraré con las limitaciones de la PC, ya veremos.

Gracias de nuevo. Más por venir.

Thanks for the listen, comment, and fave.

If you have ideas send them like you did before. I will see what happens.

TTYL.

Thanks for listen, comment, and fave.

My stuff to come will be more like a science project than a song... but it should sound like something that was almost written, almost free jam.

We will see.

Thanks again, TTYL.

This response is the result of OCD.

:D

Thanks for listening and commenting. This is the largest track I've done so far as far as number of mixer tracks and total samples, loops, and sounds. I definitely learned some things.

Thanks for the fave.

If I can get an involuntary emotive or imaginative response than I'm done my job.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

PS, I am open to collaboration.

Thanks. This one got so complex I almost broke it, but I came up with several workarounds as a result.

My powers have been growing, thanks for noticing. Feel free to throw ideas my way.

Thanks for the fave, TTYL.

Thanks for commenting. I made a lo-fi album, to think more subtractive and "white space," and now I've decided to test my maximum complexity level.

Stay tuned, the stuff coming in the future will be a mixture of written content, improvised instrumentation, and parameter limited random generation (with possible randomized FX controls).

I've been feeling more like a scientist lately.

Thanks for the fave.

Thanks for listening.

When the loops and samples count exceeded the FLStudio track limit of 125, I almost had a nightmare. I had to spend an afternoon rechanneling 150+ tracks into about 60. The mix is more raw than I would've liked, but I think I picked really good sounds, so I didn't need much more than a master compressor, after all the leveling. I try to pick sounds that sit in separate frequency ranges, rather than relying on EQ.

I've rethought the 125 track limitation, and now, with samplers and sequencers, my future tracks can become far more complex. I'm going to combine this with random generative plugins, and an absurd number of samples and loops (possibly around 500).

We will see, thanks for listening and commenting. TTYL.

If only I could make cool videos...

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Thanks for the fav. I thought this was a pretty one, so I'm adding it to a "Guitar works" album effort.

Thanks for the listen, comment, and fav.

Thanks. MINOR2GO provided a couple of the backing parts (the acoustic and piano, you should check out his loops, there are thousands). I played the rest.

Baked in is literal for guitar tone. I like to do very little in post other than deal with perceived loudness.

Thanks for the listen, comment, and fav.

Glad you caught it on the rebound. I'm making a "guitar works (or worx)" album of various stuff I have sitting on a hard drive.

I probably should leave a track in "featured" for longer, but I make them to fast, so they get maybe 50 listens before the next one is out.

There are others on this site far better at marketing than I am.

I'm going to make videos for this kind of stuff soon, just not sure yet, still mulling over ideas.

Thanks for the listen and comment.
