Hey dave I truly need your advice and the forum about this song (This time I won't listen)by a artist I produce named Courtney.The music was recorded over a year ago,I wanted to update it but she insisted not to change it I know everything that I do people will love or hate it.I made a call to a college radio station that we sent a copy to the music director said she did not listen to it but someone did and left a note that they didn't like it but she said shell listen to it herself.I was just wondering if you had a moment to take a listen to the track and give me a opinion on it.

Aaron, I'm not Dave, but I listened to the song. :) I must say I'm not a specialist on contemporary R&B and hip-hop by any means, but honestly I didn't find any reason why those people at radio didn't like it.

It's okay song in its genre, imo. Though IF you're gonna update it, maybe it would make sense to try to bring in some unexpected chord change somewhere around the bridge. In the current version the song's texture changes at the bridge, but the chords remain the same... So this is the only place where I personally see that some improvement could be made. Just my opinion. Technically the song sounds just fine. Cool bass drum! :thu:

Hey, listen to my weird music, done without a keyboard using self-playing patches on analog modular synths, and edited into coherence.

 

"Seance"

Technosaurus Selector analog modular

 

"Sunday in the Park with Borg"

Moog modular

Very little EQ, no compression/limiting/mastering, just the raw tone of each synth. Some echo and reverb, though.

 

To Enjoy!

Give me the ANALOG and no one gets HURT

Heh...

 

I've been having some fun with my new copy of Soundtrack.

 

Check it out... it's the piece called "Don't Say Nothin'". It's my first crack at a dance-type tune, so I'd love to get some feedback.

 

I was gonna submit it for the Vol. 7 comp, but the more I think about it, I didn't really play the tune - I just assembled it, so I'm not really comfortable using it.

 

I'm pretty sure that it's headed for the record I'm working on, though... :thu:

It's only loops, dave? NO instruments?

The Clav and trumpet loops are terrific, large files, sounds like a solo...

 

Sounds great !

Just loops. No instruments.

Yep, I know it does, but it isn't. It's just the way I assembled the parts. Everything in the piece comes from inside Soundtrack.

 

Thanks, Gus!

Very impressive track dB. You had so many musical styles and elements in the composition that I think you could subtitled it "Everything but the kitchen sink".. ;)

What I liked in particular were the trombone and trumpet solos. Now that I know they are loops I am a little disappointed in the performance of them. I was about to give you an award for the best playing of horn solos on a keyboard I have ever heard ...the phrasing, the articulation, etc. were dead-on accurate, (like a horn player would perform it.)

However, as a loop-based composition it is great to hear a dance-type tune with a lot of various musical ideas.

 

BTW, I want to get info on the Soundtrack program you used. How long did it take to compose the tune? Is it for Mac or Windows?

As I understand it, Soundtrack was written by the same person who wrote Acid for Sonic Foundry.

 

The tune took me about eight hours from start to finish to get it to where I was happy with it. A lot of that was spent drawing volume and panning envelopes.

Now you see how relatively easy it is - making a loop based music?! ;) The track sounds very cool (though a bit monotonous at the beginning, but hey - these are loops!). I just hope you will add some live playing to your next loopings. :thu:

I'm afraid to ask... so you never tried SF's ACID? or are just happy to have discovered SoundTrack?

 

I enjoyed a lot the way you handled the loops to make them sound as a solo. Nice trick !

 

... ever tried LIVE? :D

Well, since there was never a version of Acid for the Mac... ;)

I'm not sure what you mean, 09 - it IS named that way...

ALLRIGHT! now that I've been properly introduced.... :D

 

(sorry for the spam)

 

I'm in a band called 'Killing Buddha' and we are based out of Sacramento Ca.

We've been compared to Radiohead, Pink Floyd, 80's rush etc.....

 

take a listen. All of this was recorded and tracked at our own studio.

 

Listen to my song DAMNIT! (hehe)

Hey, I just opened up an artistlaunch account to get some space for all the audio theater material displaced when mp3.com folded. But before I do that, I thought I'd post a rough demo of a true KC collaboration--I wrote it, Cameron Bobro sang it. It was a short theme song for an independent TV show pilot called In Your Dreams. The show is yet to be produced.

 

Anyway, this was the rough draft of the theme song that I submitted to the writer and producers. They accepted it, but a fat lot of good that's done for me. Maybe someday I'll finish it. It needs a good bit of work, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. Might as well get some use out of it.

Steve, here in lowly dial-up land, I just listened to the lo-fi stream of What?

 

Ha! Cool. Quirky and fresh. The guitar and synth line has a bit of a Zappa-Duke vibe. I really like the groove during the guitar solo part.

Thanks, Prog'74, for the kind words. There was lot I was "going to do" with the track but when the project itself died silently, I lost the incentive. Cameron, though, apparently hasn't lost interest. He recently sent me a new "mix" of the vocal track! He doesn't hang around here much anymore, which is a shame, but I think it has something to do with the availability or reliability of the Internet in Slovenia.

Mag .. thats a lovely track. A little Zappa, for the melodies, and the voice :)

 

But I hear some early King Crimson in there too. This would sound great with Trons :)

 

Other than that .. wholly original
