Dave Bryce Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I thought there wasn't supposed to be such a thing as stupid questions.... Yeah, what was I thinking.... Okay, I'll try and toss one together later this evening - 24 hours max. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Midnight In America Definitely needs work...little too much fuzz on the Jan Hammer-esque solo at the end, but I was tweaking the filter in real time and really liked the way that went down so I kept it for now. I'll fix that and a few other production tweaks over the weekend and repost... ..and remember - this was written and recorded in only a few hours, so please do cut us some slack.... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Nice work! I dig everything - nice Rhodes and synth sounds. That is surely an unforgettable day for you guys to have forum guys from all over the planet making music together. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Learning Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Great song, great rhythm, great artists... I really like how the EP leads into the piano parts from around 1:30 on. Great job on the credits, dB, Carlo - piano, EP, melody synth Menno - bass, solo synth Steve - guitar, organ, pads. harmony synth dB - knobs my only suggestion is to change the credits to dB - knobs, sliders, and buttons! ***edit*** After listening several times I've got to admit that the very first stab reminds me A LOT of Steely Dan... there is a lot of good stuff in this song, a lot. Probably enough to build at least 3 very good individual songs... When most people go to work, they work. When musicians go to work, they play. Which do you prefer?

Tusker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Fantastic vibe. Serious chops. And you can hear the smiles on your faces. dB rules! (I am guessing Andromeda for the first solo synth and a Mini for the latter ... ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Fantastic work fellas. I don't mean to nit-pick but this tune should also be included in the Original Compositions thread too.

Dave Bryce Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 (I am guessing Andromeda for the first solo synth and a Mini for the latter ... ?) Nope. The melody line is a PEK. The Andromeda is the hollow Lyle Mays type sound that harmonizes against the melody when it comes around the second time. The solo at the end is my beloved J Hammer patch for the MEK. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve LeBlanc Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 good job mixing and fixing Dave...not having heard any of it for a few days, I'm pleasantly surprised, I knew there would be a lot of good moments but the whole thing works pretty good. Good name for the tune too. fwiw...can you PM me a link where I can download it? One of the speakers for this computer is torn (kids), I'd like to hear the sounds and that ADAM mix loud and clear. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenElevenShadows Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hey, this is really cool! I was looking forward to coming home and hearing this, and it didn't disappoint.

KenElevenShadows Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Fantastic vibe. Serious chops. And you can hear the smiles on your faces. That's a good way of describing it. I wasn't sure whether it was just because I knew the people playing it or what, but it's the sound of people smiling and having a really good time, and that translates.

KenElevenShadows Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The solo at the end is my beloved J Hammer patch for the MEK. dB It has sort of a wah sound as part of the patch, eh? Cool. Is this something Hammer frequently did as well?

Dave Bryce Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 It has sort of a wah sound as part of the patch, eh? Not exactly...there's a filter sweep programmed to the MW - I'm actually manually working it while the mix is running. Jan Hammer changes the filter during his solos frequently, but he doesn't typically use it like I did - he uses it to morph from one sound used in one phrase to a slightly different tone that he then continues his solos with.
