Sam Mullins Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sam, I loved the atmosphere in "Paint". Also, the progression in the intro is very nice and catchy! Aaaaand, you can sing... First of all I envy everyone with a nice lead voice and secondly it reminded me very positively of Neal Morse of Spock's Bears or Roine Stolt of the Flower Kings (I dunno if you're into that kind of music, if yes, then you'll know it's a compliment ) Thanks, Mo. Just wanted to give props to my brother Stu on the lead voice. He does all the lead singing and drumming (so much for the folks who say that drummers aren't musicians :-)) I write most of our songs, but I truly feel they only come alive when the rest of the band does their thing. I'll have to check out the bands you mention...not familiar with their work. Thanks for the pointer. Nice job on Soul Cowboy. I think you're phrasing is great. I didn't hear the mistakes, but then again mistakes don't bother me (as evidenced by my own playing) as long as the feeling and thought are there. Well done!

Sam Mullins Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ooops...I actually have heard of Spock's Beard...your typo threw me. (I just got back from Argentina and I'm a little jet lagged.) Hadn't heard of the Flower Kings though.

Morizzle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Haha... yeah, I just saw my own typo. Of course I meant the Beards. The Flower Kings are also into that retro-prog-thing, but they're from Sweden, so maybe not that known in the US. However, they have some nice musicians in the band. Especially keyboarder Tomas Bodin with his Nord rig... The bass player is a monster, too. Here's a part 1 of one of their "epics": Never mind the strange dancing scenes in between Quote It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all laughed at the dancers but the music was great....the bass player has that amazing early Chris Squire tone. Good stuff.

davinwv Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Here is some more work in progress - http://www.keysolutionssounds.com/Music/pgt2.mp3 Nice! If those pads are Omnisphere, I really need to get a used copy of Atmosphere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 One of the lower "brass" sounds is Atmosphere, there is some FS1R in there. The pad at the beginning is a layer of a few different things. The lead at the end is actually a V-Station. In fact aside from the FS1R which is doing that vocal type sound, its all software.

timwat Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Tim Wat's site Live recording from most recent gig. As related in another post, 105 degrees on stage, Logic Mainstage not working for most of the gig. Old tune "People Make the World Go Round" is when the Rhodes patch comes back to life. This was recorded on the drummer's Tascam handheld digital recorder sitting by the FOH engineer. Quote .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 So, post number 900 and getting near to that magic grand, thought I'd better do something a bit different... Some of you may be aware that I'm the musical director at an Anglican church. I've also written some Christian songs, with half an eye on trying for a publishing deal. Here are three examples, all taken from local radio broadcasts the church did (hence the odd top and tailing on one example). The singer in the first is Kari Santoro, who also gigged with me until her return to her native Canada. The second two feature my current "go to" gigging singer, Cath Ralph. I'm on piano in all cases. I'd welcome your thoughts and input.

David R Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 On my YouTube channel there's video from my new Brazilian trio. If you scroll down to my Favorites on that page, the Indigone Trio video with a very awkward title is the newest tune in our book. I wrote it after this happened.

linwood Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nice David! I checked out a couple things and like the youtube channel stuff. I always like hearin' what you're up to. Really interesting stuff. Nice Stevie story. I meet him once. He's one of the only guys I've met where I felt star struck. He was really kind and got up and did a set by himself on the grand. I was workin' the Playboy in LA at the time. I'll never forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks, Linwood! Great new demo from you as well. Going through some of the other music on this page now - Mike Martin's production is stellar and Tim's band is grooving despite the not-optimal stage conditions. Such fantastic work in this group!

wjwilcox Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 From the sublime (Linwood) to the ridiculous (that would be me): Law and Disorder I cooked this up in about a week in response to a call for imaginary cop-show TV themes. The production is a bit dodgy and the monologue needs processing, but it's kinda fun.

80skeys Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Nice. I was wondering how you got the sax to sound so authentic on a keyboard ... then I looked at your post again and saw that it IS authentic Started on a new project the other day. I've got 10 or more of these to do, so I got this mix in the ballpark and then at the end of the project I'll take a few days and tighten 'em all up. T. Alavrado -sax G.

80skeys Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 wow, good sounding stuff. you guys really are masters of electronic keys/programming. I wish I had more time to spend on making better sounding /quality tracks. All I've got time to do is put together midi tracks using default patches without any control messages/XG, and just applying a default insert effect onto a track. I'll be lucky if I can put in portamento. I think I'm doing a decent job of it on the Yamaha CS6X, though. I'd be curious to see if you guys agree.

linwood Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I thought your stuff sounded fine 80skeys. You already know where it might need help. Better sounds/more options. The sound of your seqs would really improve if you had mo better stuff. And that just isn't keyboard sounds, I mean better plugins to mix with, too. The one keyboard thing/mono makes it tough. A few VI's and a better mix environment and you'd be smokin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
