on LOD - the end of a nightmare by joecramer

I like the waves in the opening, It's like we just stepped onto the Island of Dr. Moreau. Do you want to be shot like a zombie again? I have a boiling death that needs to be put to use :p It's painless hahahaha Joe gets shipwrecked and swims to the closest Island only to find it's inhabited by cannibals. What's for dinner? Joe is :D One of my biggest hold ups has been the drums on this! I'm not that good at programming beats so I use alot of premade midi ones, then I'll edit them if needed. Since you redid the drums I'll re record the guitar and bass so we can do a proper mix :D I'll send you wav files of those. Probably be sometime next week. I'm going to be really busy the next couple days.

There is someone on this ship on his way into his own darkness ..... he felt into sleep and a nightmare is on the way ..... In his darkest dreams he found a helping hand and a voice told him that he could leave the nightmare ...... he slowly awakes and have a look around ...... he saw that he hit an island with his ship and that it will not go anywhere else ....... after a while he leaves the ship and goes into the jungle near the beach ....... Dr Moreau already waits for him .... the real nightmare still waits around the corner ....

Don´t worry about time. Record whenever you have the time or the right feeling to do so. In between i just do something different. Maybe another zombie one :) ? or this blues one, or a zombie blues maybe ......

This drums are realy nothing special. First I just used a standart robota beat and cut it abit and place it under the track, and let the fills away. Then i cut a standart fill and mixed it again with the drums under the track and look that i have almost same power on the new drums then the one in your track. So all what makes this beat sound cool is more the original drum line with your fills and extra sounds.

PM me when you have recored anything. I will send you a link to the stems.

stay tuned
joe

on By The Ocean - A Recording by BradoSanz

You had me fooled 'til I read through the entire description! HAhaha good one ER! Looks like you fooled plenty ;) I told you these soundscapes are addicting! I've done quite a few horror themed ones :p You must live near the gulf of mexico? I grew up by the ocean but live like 50 miles inland now, mountains really but this area is plains, called Oxford plains. You may have heard of the race track Oxford Plains speedway, world famous short track, Grateful dead played there in the 80's. Keep up the good work! :D

BradoSanz replied 25th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Yes I live by the Gulf :P I have yet to see mountains. I want to climb one some day. I love being immersed in nature, away from the smells and worries of the city life. And yes, I've heard of that place! You're very lucky :) Cheers and thanks for listening phatkatz4 :P

on The African Moon Lullaby - For Danke by Orlando51

The Legend of Zelda is an old nintendo entertainment system game. A Medieval adventure through mystical lands. I can see where Gramo gets that vibe. Alot of the music for the newer versions of the game are similar to this excellent sound painting.

Orlando51 replied 24th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Yeah, I checked it out yesterday, but thanks anyway for the information!

Cheers_____Orlando

on The Experiment - Featuring Siri by Ep5ilon

You've found your new singer!! :D Love it!! Hahahaha I started experimenting with computer generated voices out of the same need for some female voice samples. Excellent, now the ending :p Great work we should do this again. For sure!!! DO IT! Look out Siri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_migLQ802Go you may have a competitor :p

Ep5ilon replied 24th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

That's a competitor, alright!
I've recently started working on the outline for experiment number 2, but I'll have to get 'Pixelate' finished first before I can start it. :)

on Moonlight Hydraulics by Cybertooth

Now do the beavers open the doors or just chew through? I tried bashing my face on the keyboard once, sounded pretty cool :D Very interesting :p Can't wait for the knife orchestra.

Cybertooth replied 22nd Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

I had to get them to stand on chairs, and open the doors in tune in time. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS FOR BEAVERS!?
And Senpai hasnt noticed me, so its time to sharpen my knives!
(i mostly posted this as athread so thered be one silly thread among a sea of angst,but,woops i left comments on)

on Chapters by GramoChopin

That's one dark soundscape you got here 3:D> I only played the first Silent Hill game on ps2 Never saw the movies, but this nails the dark vibe I remember from being in that old decrepit school. I found that game more creepy than the Resident evil games, at least in those you had some idea what the hell was going to attack you. *plays again :p If you've never seen this enjoy ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiaJDtt4II Your track here makes a great soundtrack!

GramoChopin replied 25th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks. And yea Silent Hill is by far the scariest horror for me. You need to only see the 2006 one. The sequels to follow are mockery to the series. Resident Evil loses it's grip because of Capcom's decision to turn Resident Evil into a more action based game. Ruined the series completely. No atmosphere. And I haven't watched that vid, I'll check it out. Thanks again

on LOD - the end of a nightmare by joecramer

Love that you're working with this old track, and what you've with it!! :D Does it really need to be re recorded now? You got is sounding pretty damn good :p I have another old dark one, Doom(not posted), that was actually the first one I recorded with DAW if you're interested in doing a similar treatment :D I do need to re record that one, be alot easier to work out the drums for that, than this one. I bought a video loop for making a video for Doom, but never got around to it. Also for this I have a clip from Dr.Tarr's Torture dungeon (Poe movie) that may work well in the opening. Love that ocean sound hahaha I was thinking this song would come before Doom like the beginning of the adventure. The movie is about an asylum, in the forest, where the patients have taken over imprisoning the Dr (Dr.Tarr) and staff. The clip i was thinking of "You will enter this dungeon. Let the shadows watch over you as you sleep. (laughing)" Doom song feels like passing through the halls of an old castle. Here's the movie. It;s public domain so it's ok to use clips :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtxVBFixa0

joecramer replied 21st Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Hey Burt, no need for a rework just for me :)

Nice to see that you didn´t shoot me like a zombie for this one

I will play around just a little bit with this one until i lost fun OR until i think it is a real great one and THEN i will ask you for the wav file, cause i just used that centraldev mastering try. so mp3 from a mp3 to mp3 .... but you are right it dosen´t sound bad for that.

Let me know when you will start on your doom project and need some vocals or else :)

stay tuned

on Mad As Hell by soundhound

I'm Mad as hell and not going to take it! ;) I like this :D Hahaha Golden Earing's Radar love has that effect of pushing the gas pedal a bit too hard too :p I'd like to hear that bass guitar slightly louder in the mix, always like hearing the bass driving the tune along (personal preference). Like that lead guitar, very nice :D and the way it leads into the lead synth, trading off. A+++ work :p

soundhound replied 19th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Glad you like it, just having fun keeping my chops sharp...
Well he played the bass sounds like keys to me, not a bass guitar
so I had nothing to do with that, just the 2 guitar parts...

Thanks again for stopping in...

Peace...TG.

on Asperger Love by joecramer

I like that explanation, a different OS. Everybody is different, that's what makes the world such a beautiful diverse place. Vocal level sounds perfect to me :D

joecramer replied 17th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Diversities! We are all same, cause we are all different.
I realy love the line that the people in Thailand say realy often - same same but different.

Good to hear that you think the vocal level is ok, cause it is always this - i wrote it, i sing it, i masterd it and so i can hear and understand it - but maybe it isnt so for others :)

thanks for your words

stay tuned

on You can call it freedom feat ferryterry by promenade2239

couple of plays later..... and that is why I love guitar... :D Nice arrangement and backing Alex. Always love listening to the pros playing together.

promenade2239 replied 12th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

hey Burt! thanks for listening and nice words. I gave a backing track to ferryterry but it was a different backing then. once he recorded guitars I reworked all the rest completely.

happy you liked!

on Gedanken - thoughts by joecramer

Ok I remember this now :D Did you play that bass or is that one of your loops you were challenged with? Sounds like a real bass guitar :p

joecramer replied 27th May 2015 - 11 years ago

I think it was a real played one but i cut it and worked around with it and now it sounds abit like a cool groove on a life played bass

on extended upgrade - alles was ich will by joecramer

Excellent Joe!! See if you can sing reggae you can sing some blues ;) for the male choir maybe you could try fading the individual oohh ahhhs in and out may help it not feel so computerized. I know what you're saying about get started on others and never get back to older ones, I got a ton! that never got finished.

joecramer replied 27th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Hi Burt

Nice to know that i don´t disapoint you

You know that i already did some blues? Ok it was some Joe Cramer styled bluse but ...... remember - Gedanken -

You know that everything is just a matter of time and "sometime" i will finish all things i began in my life ... sometime! ..... i think ..... or lets say i hope ... or ... naaaa ..... maybe not all :)

Something intressting about the male background choir that sounds "toooo" computerizied. First Alex sayed something over them and i didn´t understand what about hes talking. Then YOU and i listen again and think about the "male background choir" ... mmmmm and then i got it what you both mean :) ..... come on LOL i can tell you why it sounds soooo computerizied

It´s a vst sound from illautogun that i workedup a bit with reverbs and stuff - it is not me singing

Who knows, maybe i change that and do them by myself

stay tuned

on Master and Servant by DanGoldstein

Mmm hooman meat.... tastes better than tuna (^._.^)/ perfect match up! Looks like they're on a mission, needing more litter for her box maybe? I have a painting of Grumpy cat coming :D def need do some more collabs. Heard from Stoghs, I got some material from him to work with on something.

DanGoldstein replied 26th May 2015 - 11 years ago

yea - it would probably end up being something mundane like that (needing more cat litter) for the mission - rather than needing to save the world. I guess at 56 it is time to modify my expectations but i'm not going down easy!

on Fish in Coral by DanGoldstein

Cthulu lies deep beneath the sea dead but dreaming ;) That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.
That's a character from the H.P.Lovecraft's fiction. It's a big octopus faced monster that lives in the ocean. Metallica's The thing that should not be is about him/(her?) too. I found another band, Catacomb, that writes all songs based on Lovecraft's writings.
That's a good question, Both are alien worlds relatively unexplored by us. I think this has more of an underwater sound, like being weighed down by the crushing pressure of all that water whereas space is nothingness. The sounds echo and fade like passing through a liquid like medium. In space they'd just continue on unobstructed by the nothingness and fade in volume to nothing. I've never been there but in theory anyway ;) I seemed to have missed the last flight with the rest of the Loopers, I'm stowing away on the next one! :D

DanGoldstein replied 7th Sep 2015 - 11 years ago

I am too involved trying to re-learn my German before I go to sleep at night by reading a German-Jewish dictionary to have time for something sensible like discovering Lovecraft. so i am grateful for the tidbits you share. of course the fish in my underwater scene might be eating those tidbits before i get to them.

on Sicily Farewell 1906 by Orlando51

Love the Godfather movies :D I've read a few Mario Puzo books as well. I have a Mafia "La Costra Nostra an Expose" vhs box set that's quite interesting and violent to say the least... I didn't know Rudy Guliaani was a prosecutor, he's so young in it, hahaha. I think you nailed your description here once again! *plays again Excellent work Orlando :p I can only imagine having to leave your homeland and go to another country altogether. I've been some miles from where i live for a week at time and after just a couple days I wanted to go home in the worst way!

Orlando51 replied 22nd May 2015 - 11 years ago

You seem quite connected with mafia...haha...Joke aside and thanks alot for listening and positive feedback!

on KharmaGuess - Blood - Gnasty Remix by Gnasty

I'm no expert on the subject, but compression levels the sounds, quiets the louder ones by squashing them and boosts the quieter ones. That's how you get a brickwall of sound. I use it very sparingly because I like to maintain the dynamic range through the track. That's the volume level from the softest to loudest notes. There's no set formula for mixing, just what sounds good to you. EQ is simply a more precise fader control for adjusting the volumes of frequencies. I think if you back off on the compressor, turn down the volumes of the individual tracks so they don't clip, that'll show in you meter as red, going over 0db, that will fix the distortion you hear. Cool track :p Keep experimenting, that's how we all learn :D

Gnasty replied 20th May 2015 - 11 years ago

I havent used any compression, but I also have a somewhat basic DAW so it might do it automatically. Ill try changing the track levels, thanks for the advice!

Has quite the underwater feeling :D Say Hi to spongebob and Cthulu for me :p Very surreal like floating in the vast beauty under the ocean, Nice one Dan :D

DanGoldstein replied 24th May 2015 - 11 years ago

hey Burton. now I have to figure out who/what Cthulu is! I'm happy if this one works with the art a little. Could probably stick some space art with it and it work just as well! Good question what differentiates those two musical atmospheres. Anyway - I am off to check out what have been posting. thanks, man. we need to crank something out soon. Dan
