Hi Steve,

Really glad you like it.

I'll tell you my process and hope I answer your question. I use Sonar X3 Producer for my DAW and do all my tracks as stereo. After I get a sound that I'm fairly happy with, I decide what tracks go where, i.e. vocals on center speaker, strings on rear and so forth and set Sonar accordingly. I, than, bring it into WavePad editor in 96K, 24 bit and visually inspect it and fade in or out as needed then save it to .wav, .flac and mp3. I have to check it on my surround system, since the system I use for mixing is in stereo. I, again, edit the mix from there. I'm still fairly new at this, but I've been happy with the results so far. LMK any other question you may have.

Cheers,
Scott

Greetings, Mr. C.

"The sheer blast of emotion from your music..."

That's all I want to do. Trying my best to translate a feeling I get into sound. I use the voice recorder on my phone a lot. The sound of a scenario, I guess is what I'm trying to do. Using no vocals helps in developing silent narration. Speaking through an instrument. I wish I could make the keys my bitch, like you do. Always good stuff.

I appreciate the listen, and the short story of the hill skirmish. Made my evening.

Take care.

Evan

Great, i'm really surprised that you like it :) Regards

Thankyou Cru,those words mean a lot coming from you,glad you appreciate my efforts on this one.Yes I believe chill is where it should be actually,it's amazing how difficult it is to understand ones work as it developes sometimes don't you think?

Hey Steve, thank you for your kind words regarding this song! It was an important one to me for sure. The vocal delivery is maybe not as spectacular as it could have been if I'd had more time to spend, but I am happy with it. I did not want the unfinished album sitting there waiting if I ended up in jail... fortunately that did not happen. Since one cannot predict the future (in many cases), it is best not to count on "luck" to smile upon us. The song does sound rather schizoid in it's focus shifting, and I guess it's appropriate that way. I really appreciate you listening!

Hey Cru..thanks for listening man! It never ceases to amaze me that cinematographers always give objects moving in space sounds of their passage...I guess I'm no different! lol though this track was created while envisioning floating in a tin can and thinking there was something that I could do....glad you liked it mate, cheers Dave :)

Hey Cru... thanks for listening. Man, I would love to hear your piano solo on top of this track. I certainly left a lot of room for other instruments. I need to find a vocalist to sing to it.

Thanx Cru! Its been awhile. hope to be here more often if possible.

take care

Thank you! I had some problems with the mix (clippings, clippings evrywhere :D), but the result is fair i think, despite i'm total dumb for it. :)

My musical influences? Really dunno. A bit everything what i hear.
David Bowie for sure. I don't really like his voice. I don't really like his music. He had some really crazy tracks with horrible disharmony what gives me unpleasant feelings and want him to stop it. But still, when i hear them, still listening from the intro to the outro, and i can remind them several years later too.
Other ones are the good old C-64 chiptunes, which means my whole youth to me.
And offcourse, the loopers on the site. Using only loops, its unavoidable. :)

well... that logo is the cover of my digital album, I found that funny to put it as my avatar. glad you liked the change

Dissonance and atonality seems all my life XD. Also you can consider the entire track as hopeful and ominous.
like at 1:33 min you can feel the hope until 1.45 min.

Thanks for the fav dear Cruce

Thanks so much!!

Thank you cru for a nice review!
I am glad you enjoyed listening to this recording. I had some difficulties with velocities of the virtual instrument but I am happy with the results.

Hey Cru

I am not realy sure how the vocals will sound at the end but i know that i will change them for sure. I realy realy hate the way they sound right now. Me system was so fucked up when i made them and my mic worked so bad that i had done the vocals in 10 little parts. You can hear that if you listen closely and they where so noisy that i could vomit :) ....
Right now i have a little better system and a better mic and a pre amp and so on, so that the vocals can be recorded in one go and with much less noise. And then i haven't to use all this EQ and reverb and stuff to let them sound at least a little good.
So i am 100% at you when you say that they need some work.

Good to know that you think that the rest of the song is something good and maybe will be something special when the vocals where worked out a little better.

Thanks for the listen and the nice words and for your suggestion on how i should use the vocals when they are made new.

Always nice to get some ideas from someone like you.

stay tuned
joe
