Thanks for listening my track.

Glad you liked it :)

Regards.

Samples are great,i never really think of using them,its something i need to try in the future maybe.

Thanks :)

Thanks for your advice. You definetly know how to mixdown a track and can learn from you a lot. I will definetly try out your advice and put it in my track. I am still a beginner when it comes to mixing and your remarks really help me out.

Purples - why not hey!Great to have the loops synth wizard enjoying the track.Thanks for the compliment on my guitar playing on this one,i never use samples except for drums.I will check out Cottonbelly.Take care.

thanks cru, you know what that would have been cool! guessed i missed an opportunity there lol too late now haha

Hello Cru,
Thank you very much mate.
I am really glad you like it, such words coming from a master of the industry is an honour.
Thanks for the feedback mate.

hello Steve
Thanks for nice words. I can always grab house loops and make more and more proper house track, no problem with that.
It is 128 BPM but who cares. Everything is mixed inside Joe's vocal and I created that disco-type bassline on Microbrute myself.
I can not remember 1998.

Glad you liked and faved. LOL

Ah that would probably be the final limiter, your right i did push it a little and forgot id did some cut and boost in the low end which will be causing that over do, that mate ;) im doing an extended more complicated version (with sax etc) so will smooth the eq off a little to bring down that over compression :)

thanks crucethus
4 the feedback glad ya like the pads steeped in detroit
mucho appreciation
ta 4 the welcome back

Sure. It is a beginning so am curious what you make out of it. Can send you the midi if you want..It is G maj scale..

Thanks Steve! I attempted to make it a little more dark than the original track, as it was for rap. I can actually hear the industrial sound you mention.

Thanks for always stopping by, much appreciated.

It's the cat's pajamas

Thank you so much, really appreciate it! Not my usual sound, glad it's translating! And now that you say it I can definitely hear some Depeche Mode in there

I like that particular album too. Basically all the instruments are virtual ones (there are live-recorded real guitars on 2 tracqks though) - a very impressive and effective programming work. Also I like the conceptual vision of the album as a whole thing, each single composition is very carefully designed. I checked DEVO refference and you are right - Toax's music is just that kind of pastiche I guess.
Thanks again for nice comments!

Thank you Steve!
We did intense online collab before ('Toax' as other virtual persona as he had few different musical projects) but this is definitely the best one. I asked him for original midi files of 'Neberwirkungen' and layered them using virtual epiano, guitar and a little bit of 'ghost' drumming in the background. I transformed some sequences applying a 'groove delay' plugin to get the interesting rhytmic movement too. All the rest is simply a Roland JunoDi synth. I created 0:00 - 4:00 section first - he added vocal and funky bassline. Then I developed this final version. He stretched the vocal which I processed even more afterwards - the idea was to get a kind of 'afterlife' vibe (because he is obviously speaking to us 'from there'). I really liked that idea.
Funky bassline created by Toax on virtual bass guitar.
I made everything directly on Roland. Drums around 5:00, for example, are from Roland's 'Jazz Brush' drumset and it is actually a random linear pattern I recorded. It is layered with the other pattern with snare accenting 'four'. Epiano and clavinet are also Roland sounds - those are just few riffs I managed to record in a short time and mix along the given funky bassline. I didn't use arpeggiator for that sequence at the end - it is a 'Tri Sine Lead' Roland patch played in a real time with huge reverb and a delay by using the pitch bend wheel.
So this is basically a result of working with given sounds and sequences. Very much experimental and it is a colorful soundscape basically but has more dynamic sections too. Surely the most complex composition I ever made considering the amount of elements used.
I am glad you liked few jazzy flavours I introduced. Thank you for all good words and your support!

Hi Steve !

I'm truly glad to read about your feelings on this track !
Your feedback is really positive and generous and ofcourse thank you for the gif link...It really has something to go with!:) And of course I must not forget to say big thank you for the 'fav'...means alot!:)

With much appreciation_____Orlando

Hey Cru,

LOL, his last name could be Dover, 'but that's all I know about him!'

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to select a genre with the limited selections here on LM. It's usually moot, anyway, because different people hear different things. When someone notices something, like you noticing the Robbie Robertson approach, I say, "yeah, it does sound like that." Midiman suggested Charlie Daniels, and it does sound a bit like him. I hadn't noticed either of these till it was mentioned. Funny how that works.

Anyway, thanks for your kind words; always appreciated.

Ciao,
M.

Thank you brother Cru. Yes this little ditty surprisingly formed well during it's creation. The Dj sample was the icing on the musical cake.

Blessings - B.
