ksoper Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Kick ass, Brother Linwood. Love those Rhodes voicings. Xtry nice drums, too! K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leberwurst Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 So Linwood, is that a real sax? If not, wow, and what software? If yes, wow too I recently bought a MacBook, and it came with GarageBand already installed. Until I have some funds for Logic 8, I'm doodling around with this little program. It has surprisingly many features (some of them very well hidden) and also has a nice arsenal of Midi-Inschtruments. Some of them are really usable, IMHO. Here are the upright bass, the jazz drum kit and the rhodes sim of Garageband. I put a tiny bit of distortion on the Rhodes to fatten it up a bit. Played the 1000 year old Johnny Mercer-standard "Namely You" as a waltz. Please forgive the quirks and blurbs.... still learning The Rhodes also sits nicely in a mix with some more instruments. Here's a tune by Pee Wee Ellis, "The Chicken" with a nice fretless bass, rock drum set, an okay electric guitar (with tremolo, distortion, tons of echo) and a not-so tenor sax It was pretty surprising for me that this little program carries lots of very usable sounds, many of them don't need to hide behind rompler sounds from a, let's say, Yamaha P250 and the like. The acoustic piano however, is WEAK! Quote The Dromb Bopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yea, real sax. ( Isn't that a show on HBO?) everything else is midi. The drums are played from a motif keyboard with DP and Kontakt3. No eq or anything. Right out the box. The rhodes is scarbee, clav is motif, bass is a minimoog, everything else omega 8. I dug your stuff, as well. Garageband is great isn't it? Tons of great sounds in there and when you get logic 8......look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKeys Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 linwood, you are amazing.... those drums sound like a drummer I would want in my band. That was sweet... I never can get that feel off a keyboard. Quote Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Mike Martin Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've got another partially done (still un-named) song here - I'm pretty happy with it so far, but still working out a solo after the middle break. I'm curious how the mix is translating on other systems. Thanks. http://mikemmartin.com/Music/Song.mp3 Quote -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

linwood Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks, guys. Jim with all that NC soul in those fingers and vox of yours, you could make anything feel right. yea, the drums are hot in the mix. that's what they told me to do. Mix 'em hot, up front, dry as a bone/ in your face for the demo and then send all the tracks and midi so they can mix it as they choose and swap out different snares and kicks, as they want. I don't even know what the mix will be yet. Mike...it's sounds good here. Tell me how you did the "2" snare. Is that the sample or did you do it? Either way, I love it. Nice, thick, and paddy. I might have pushed the low end a little, but that's so subjective. Good stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Linwood, your piece sounds awesome. Great playing! Thanks for listening. That snare sound is a layer of about 3 or 4 sounds, heavily processed. I could sample the layer for you if you like.

NewImprov Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I put up some photos from a gig a few weeks ago: Xenatra @ Squirrels with my semi-ridiculous keyboard setup. We just posted some tracks recorded at that gig on our Myspace page, please give it a listen. Please forgive the out-of-tune Minimoog (one of the downsides of gigging with antiques) and the occasional sloppiness (it was our 4th gig): Xenatra @ Myspace Quote Turn up the speaker Hop, flop, squawk It's a keeper -Captain Beefheart, Ice Cream for Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottasin Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 well, my band finally recorded, if very sloppily. We usually play more funk stuff but we recorded the songs we were most comfortable with. I'm gonna have to admit, I played pretty terribly and made quite a few lazy mistakes, but I still like our sound. I present to you Forty-2 Any feedback positive or negative would be great.

linwood Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I found these on youtube. Pretty funny. These are some tracks I did for Anita in the early 90's. A power single thing. When I think back, it makes me miss how well a couple of samplecell II cards worked with 32 megs of ram and a IIfx....and I should have never sold the TG77. That's doing the rhodes on the ballad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l9zFlAFY14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hSd7FTH6Ic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_RM1Wbnhks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfonso Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 In another forum a nice guy, called MrKnobs, regarding some bit/frequency rates discussions, said that he had the most boring sound samples made for his profession, that are recordings of flat tires running on different pavements and similar stuff. Maybe as a joke I asked him for some samples of those files, and he sent me them, 4 cuts 16bits/44.1khz wave files. Then he commented that he found my rerquest a bit strange.... I rapidly made a track, in which the only sound sources used are those 4 snippets of test recordings done by MrKnobs. I've transposed, frequency shifted, filtered, sequenced, delayed, frequency modulated and quite heavily manipulated those apparently flat and boring sounds. No other samples, no other oscillators, except for LFO modulation of filters and slow ramps for the FleXor sequencers. All made in Scope, obviously.

Andrewpiano Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My music is at www.myspace.com/arg2000. Note that the music is not of professional quality - its my hobby - and that I'm singing, but I'm not a "singer." I've posted on here about my attempts to improve the sound of my Casio Privia PX300-I've recently purchased an Alesis 6 track FX mixer, and a Rokit 5 speaker. The song "Boxed In" was recorded with my new mixer with effects added to the Rhodes sound, and settings on the equalizer that I hoped would make the sound less tinny-I feel like my new equipment is improving the sound of the keyboard.

linwood Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Very nice, Mu! Well done. I loved it. Here's a weird gig. Vocal bites. This was for a sample cd of vocal bites and stax. I did a ton of these. This is a short demo of some of the r&b ones. I had to produce a track for the singer to sing to, something that would give him/her the right vibe, then come up with some phrases and melodies to sing and did tons of oooo's and ahhh's. I did these in all different keys/tempos/styles. This isn't a song, as none of these lyrics/lines connect with each other. They were lifted/sliced/diced and sold without the music. Like I mentioned, the music was just to supply the vibe. Just another goofy gig that came through. I must be nuts, I love doing this stuff. here's :60 ....it went on for a long time, you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
