BradoSanz,
I actually created this instrumental with Music Maker Jam that came with my laptop when I bought it. However, I mixed different musical styles together to create something original. So to answer your questions, I used the drums that were given to me. The guitars were samples originally recorded by my cousin. I took them off a CD and implemented them into the track.

Thanks bro I appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback!

I don't play an instrument, but I am a bit familiar with quantization (like a CAD snap option). GarageBand does it for me, but I kind of prefer when the melody lags behind the beat. Just my preference in hip hop. Thanks for the listen.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to check out the track.

The use of compression on my vocal wasn't applied the best way, agreed. Dude who did the mixing is somewhat newer to the game, so he kind of makes decisions very tenatiovely and reserved when he is mixing. I'm busy with a lot of other stuff going on right now so I didn't really feel overly compelled to get him to go back and play with the mix, plus I knew I would get some excellent remixes which give my vocals proper treatment so I'm cool with it.

Hardware:

-Apex540 Condenser Mic
-Zoom C5.1t USB Audio Interface
-Adobe Audition for tracking
-Custom built isolation box for mic

Thanks I'm really happy to see you comment about the good and bad about the song really appreciate it.

This song was made almost entirely with sylenth1,and wav samples for the drum sounds of course, thanks

Thanks Brado...! I'm Glad you like it & also thanks for stop and listening...! ;) Keep on PLAY!!!

Hi, Brado. Yes, I've been on LM less frequently in the past while, that true. I did post another track recently, another 80's recreation. So, perhaps I'm on a roll! :)

I just read that Witcher 3 had some seriously good musicians involved in its production, including the Brandenburg State Orchestra That's a very high compliment.

Thanks again.

Eric

Thanks man! I'm happy you enjoyed this. After replaying this I do hear that harsh part you mentioned, I might fix it later.

Thanks for checking in!

Thank you so much BradoSanz
Appreciate it.

Yo.

Thanks for having a listen and I'm glad I could provide you with what you were yearning for.

"I cant' get over the sound of it in this song."

Yeah, it's nice though I have been, to some extent, a bit unadventurous and lazy with my cello sound while I've been playing and recording it for the last 15 months. I use mostly the same setting in each track though I have also come up with a few creative, unusual sounds.

"Any way I can download this somewhere?"

Sorry, not yet but eventually.

"3:08 was like entering a large expansion, I can't get over that feeling of the widening!"

I'm not sure the track got wider but that is where the glissando harp enters and is quite effective and strange.

"those dreamy ambient synths" are just synth pads. Actually, one is a piano out through a big, dreamy effect.

"I want that for my own music"

Just play around more with all sorts of ambient synth patches. I assume you must have some in whatever software you have. I use synths in almost every track I make and spend a fair amount of (boring) time auditioning patches from my fairly large library.

No, no time-stretched cello here. I still haven't really got round to doing that but should.

8:53 the main synth you hear is a lyre - a sample-based acoustic instrument that is a bit like a harp.

Thanks again for the feedback on this cello epic that has grown a lot on me since uploading it. It was a lot of work!

thank you!

Thanks Brado!

Thank you Brado for the awesome comment!

I would fully admit that the focus of this one was not rhythm, despite one of the two instruments being a drum oriented item. People other than those which we call animals seem to forget that rhythm goes far beyond the frequency which humans usually respond to. The frequency of a human audio range sine wave, for example, The rhythm is the swing of the waveform. With mathematics, we can divide it down and reference a tempo, yet this seems unnecessary.

In recent times, there seems to have developed an obsession with rhythms in a very low frequency... rhythms which the majority identifies with dancing. However, dancing is a very personal and subjective thing, and no external force can tell us how or when to dance. You never know what could happen!

Your words have humbled me, and I thank you. There was no specific intent when I recorded this, and as such I can not be held liable for the effects of what I have done. Call it a loop hole, ha ha.

Hello Brado
don't mind sleeping to much, there will be much time for sleeping later :)
Nice to read that you could enjoy the spirit of this track and had some fun while doing that.
Here is all well my friend. Only much to much work around. But that's not a reason to cry, maybe just a reason to make a new blues number
Thanks for the listen and your gentle comment.

stay tuned
joe
