Ripper! It is good to visualise what you might be doing as far as automation and filter use is concerned and I like your style. Another quality track from FreeRad. Whether it is cut and paste or not, I always think it's the putting together of all the elements that is important and I certainly would be none the wiser if it wasn't mentioned that samples were used - it's all about the finished article and keeping listeners interested and you have not failed. Thank you for the listen FR and also the download. Keep flowing dude.

Paul.

Thanks mate, Sorry for being a bit slack with the reply. I have no excuse apart from being a bit lazy.
Glad you enjoyed this track. I'm still pondering what to do with it to get it up to scratch but cheers for stopping by and leaving comments.

Really nice track - flows very well from start to finish. If there were a few more "asian" sounds it would sound like the Ghost in the Shell (SAC) intro. You've done a really good job mixing the vocals and fx together - definitely my favourite of your tracks!

Nice on CJB, Sorry i took so long to reply. Laziness is a virtue and can't be learned. I still like this track and i think a remake might be on the cards at tsome point. Lost the original file unfortunately.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving comments on this track.

Mr. FreeRadical...First off i saw where gave me permission to download that track for my daughter(she was the young lady you saw on my last profile pic) Anyway shes thankful for it even though i haven't done that yet. now lets get back to this track.what i like about your sound my friend is you seem to have busy tracks which if your not good at what you do, it can easily run away from you...But you seem to be able to harness all this with ease... the mix, the samples. its like a master skydiver.who can do anything he wants while falling @ 120 miles an hoour...and stick a perfect landing every time...Nuff said ...this is badass!!!

Peace

Thanks man, All the drum beats came from a pack called drum addict from the primeloops web site. i got the vocal parts from an acapella by Nepaul on this site. I wrote a couple of the synths and a couple of the loops but that was it. The rest was all just filters and purchased loops.
Thanks for dropping in and listening to this tune.

Well, now that I`ve been listening to some of your tracks I know where to check when I need a bit (a lot in my case) of genre education...If I had been listening to this in my band days (just after the last ice age) I would swear somebody had slipped the goods into my brew....but, you know what...I`m getting to like it....its partly your fault FreeRadical....really did enjoy the listen...so now I have to go apologize to my ol guitar....keep on man.....Ed

Bet you didn`t use that matchbox & toothpick thing in this one FreeRadical...love the beat man..Have used a few techno beats in my own (mellow) stuff once in a while as I don`t pay much atention to genres when something sounds good....this sounds dm good to me....nicely done....Ed
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 24th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago
You're right there. I lost my matchbox so in this one, i used an assortment of various sized tupperware containers and a large hamster wheel.
Joking aside, It's mainly a product of prime loops. I wrote the arps and acid sounds but all the drums are premade loops. I can't take too much credit for this.
I might see if i can find a vocal to chuck over it.

It's essentially an advert for prime loops really. I did a few bit's and then added the filters but i just thought i'd let someone else write the track for a change. I'm too busy with this Eurovision song contest malarkey lol.

I like how the track swells in and that drop in pitch at the same time,then it's quite a rockin' tune if I may say so as a guitarist.
Oh,cool bonus siren at the end.
You know we could have carried the thread on a little longer about me but it's alright to share:)

Thanks Carlos, I'm gutted to have been away from the site for so long as i've got a lot of people to catch up with. I remember people complaining about not getting enough feedback but if you take a break for a few months it seems to be the exact opposite. Not that i mind, it's just taking me a long time to get back to everyone.

wow....that is some smokin guitar playing by AllenV...amazing guitar chops definitely on display (If I could to borrow about 10% of them I`d consider myself dm good)....But then, the whole mix is just superbly done...I have to confess that D&B is not a frequent listening choice but now it looks like I best pay a bit more attention.....great work guys....Ed

Thanks Tumbleweed, It's not a typical piece of drum and bass in any sense really but that's what i like about it. If it hadn't been for Allen's participation it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good so all credit to our resident axe man for taking part and doing his thing.
Thanks for checking out this track.

I like this one a lot. Catchy as hell chord progression using cool synths. The "air" around it makes it lean toward Electro and I like that. Don't know if it is, but much of it sounds like some cool filters being used. Good work put in this one man.
Keep Doin It! J.P.

Thanks mate, You're right. There's a lot of filters i used on this. I love LFO's and filters. They seem to add more edge. I'm just gave the bass a little bost so hopefully it sounds more full than before.

Well i have to say that put a smile on my face this morning. I thought i was a bit long in the tooth to be "down with the kids" but an endorsement from your nine year old son and your daughter fills me with much encouragement and i say many thanks to all three of you.
To be honest it was Allen that did all the cool sounding bits so perhaps i should digress and pass the compliments on to him.
Thanks for reviewing this experimental piece of audio carnage.

Thanks man, Your comments are always so inspiring. I wouldn't say i'm any better than a lot of other folks around here. I think we all just settle into styles we like and then after a while you figure things out that work for you huh?
I hear stuff in your pieces that i would never have thought of doing & it gets a more soulful part of me than the stuff i make. When i try that kind of stuff it never seems to sound quite right for some reason.

Bond here...James bond....lol hey man i'm really becoming a fan of this genre by listening to your stuff. Mixes are always superb... i know cut and paste is a drag especially if you take a vocal and its supposed to be one bpm and you find out it's not right?. You truly have a sound all your own. Free you are a beast!!!!

Then i pay for it when i see i have loads of people i've not replied to for ages and have to spend a couple of hours catching up. At least i know i'll be in for a treat when i hoon on over to your page.
Glad you enjoyed this track. I'd like to do more work with patricas vocals but i struggle as she likes to sing in styles i'm not very familiar with. I guess practice is what it's all about. Thanks for dropping by and checking out this tune.

Another class piece of work ? You're just showing off now Free aintcha ? LOL. Good work yet again my friend. Boost that bass a touch and this will rock mate. Good use of the vocal, was this one of your painstaking snip jobs ? If so you have proved that diligence pays off. Just as a thought have you pondered a big ole braek down in the middle just so as you can bring it all up again ? Should you go back and tweak I look forward to hearing the end version. I like it FR.
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 22nd Apr 2012 - 14 years ago
Thanks mate, Yes this is indeed a cut paste, cut cut, paste job on the vocals. He recorded the pella at 90bpm so it was pretty painful at times and there's still one or two bit's that need a little nudge into the right place. But it's as near as dammit so i thought i'd put it up. The bass i can't actually hear properly because i'm not listening at very high level most of the time (moany neighbours) I normally just drop it a bit on the parametric because if you don't, There's always bound to be too much when you turn it up. Still it's an easy fix i suppose.
Anyway, I'm waffling so i'll stop now and just say thanks for listening. Your opinion is always appreciated.

Ah VSS, How nice of you to stop by again.
This whole track was based around a series of loops that Pedro Casilass uploaded so really it wouldn't have happened without his origional idea. Just goes to show that a couple of loops can take you in directions you wouldn't find yourself.
Allen was the icing on the cake though.
Glad you could stop by and give it a listen.

Hey FR,

Very nicely done. When you combine the piano skills of Pedro and the fret work of Allen with your ability to arrange and produce, well you have a recipe for success. This is a wonderful display of Allen's amazing abilities. Wonderful effort and a great way to start my day.

Great music to blast on the Bus.
