Infekted Radio is ace!
 
Great feature.

"Loth" by our esteemed colleague LOGO 80 is excellent! Congratulations mate. Very beautiful tune.

Khazul's just caused me jaw to dislocate, too.

Quality chunes mates

:cool:

Azartrus 24.01.2007 03:02 PM

for some reason I cant access the radio. It says permission denied :(

Old Vantaa Man 24.01.2007 04:16 PM

Azartus mate. You have to pay Drammy (AKA Buggsy Malone) 15 €uropes for a subscription before you can get into the good stuff.

Once you've subscribed you're free to access the whole site. There are links to great full-length porn vids (excuse the pun), cracked software and of course the Infekted Radio mp3 player.

Err. 2 of the above were lies..
:rolleyes:

Azartrus 24.01.2007 07:02 PM

ah thanks i will do that then

theMusicMan 24.01.2007 10:20 PM

Just subscribed to the Infekted too: very glad I did, the first song on Radio is awesome.

Drammy 24.01.2007 10:56 PM

Thanks for the support guys.

We need more tracks on there though. So all you subscribers - get adding them...

Also, I am going to contact members that have tracks in the Member's music forum and ask permission to link to their tracks from the Infekted Radio.

Should get a few more tracks up that way.


Thanks again, Drammy

theMusicMan 24.01.2007 11:11 PM

You're welcome Drammy.

If I thought my music was good enough, I'd upload one or two. Maybe I will...

Drammy 24.01.2007 11:19 PM

Hey you definately should.

My music's not up to much but I'll be adding mine once I manage to get back into the studio...


I was looking forward to hearing a bit of brass (or are you thinking Virus laden tracks?)

theMusicMan 24.01.2007 11:26 PM

Well, I have a few pieces I did a year or so ago, but nothing yet created (finished) on the Virus. I shall embarrassingly upload a few for you.

Heather - one I wrote for my daughter, Heather. She wanted a piece to play when she went to bed, but she wanted drums and she wanted the Clangers in there too (remember them!!!). This Zen type piece is the result.

Electric Chariot - an electric guitar solo, not brill, mix os poor (but I am inexperienced) but possibly my best piece thus far.

Minor Experiment - Absynth messing around. I love this... just jammed really.

Lazy - you wanted Brass Drammy. Very simple piece where I played the keys first, then played Cornet (with lots of reverb) over the top. The result is OK'ish but shows my lack of experience with recording. I couldn't figure out a way to play the cornet without the mic picking up the backing track... ah well... :)

Gimme a few mins to figure out how to upload them to Infekted Radio for ya.

UPDATE: Added them to Playlist 3. Please be kind!

Old Vantaa Man 25.01.2007 06:34 AM

Nice one John! Enjoyed all of those.

theMusicMan 25.01.2007 06:39 AM

Thanks Vantaa... though I suspect you're being generously kind :) I am nowhere near as talented as many on here.

Drammy 25.01.2007 07:29 AM

Hey John,

Thanks for uploading - some good stuff there, I like your chilled out beats...

And Heather certainly made me very relaxed - I nearly fell asleep at work (in a good way!).

Electric Chariot made me think of an 80's film ala Top Gun. You're certainly a better guitarist than me.

When recording do you not like playing the backing track through headphones? This may be the answer if you can stand playing with cans on...


Thanks again, Drammy

Hehe, that's exactly what heather wanted me to write a piece for her for - to play on her HiFi or iPod when she goes to bed. I was pleased that it often worked for her, and doubly pleased it works for you too :)

That's no guitar Drammy ;) it's a patch on my Korg Karma. I shall take that either as a compliment to Korg for their Karma guitar patch, or a compliment re the way the patch was played :) thanks.

When I do that, there's no easy way (with my amateur setup) that I can then effectively hear what I am playing on the Cornet and so I lose some detail/timing. As far as I can tell, my mixer - Yamaha MW12 - doesn't allow
me to route any of the input back through the bus to my headphones. At least that's the way I thought about how it wasn't working correctly.

Nah! Course you can! RTFM (read the manual) and check your in/outs on your sequencer, John!

Hi, thanx! I didn't notice this topic... that "song" came from an experiment on the korgforums... I've try to make a background music for every chapter of the first LOTR book... Loth stay for lothlorien... the woods of lothlorien (for LOTR fans!). It isn't nothing but an experiment but I'm happy you like it!
Regards, Lorenzo

Old Vantaa Man 25.01.2007 11:53 AM

John, How do you usually monitor what you're playing? Describe the route you take to get music in and out of your computer.

In your sequencer make sure that each audio track says something like
IN: Yamaha MW 12
OUT: Yamaha MW12

I had a look at that mixer on Yamaha's site. It's made for home recording that thing. You can surely do all your ins and outs simultaneously and monitor it all in wondrous stereophony on cans via the headphone jack on the mixer.

I can understand though you're having a hard time with an English language manual though mate...
:rolleyes:

theMusicMan 25.01.2007 12:29 PM

OK, this ain't gonna be pretty, here goes.

I have 3 audio devices or soundcards in my set up;
  • Built in PC sound card
  • VirusTi Audio (USB)
  • Yamaha MW12 mixer device (inbuilt USB)
I have no idea how to correctly configure each of these in Cubase Studio 4.

I have 4 USB ports on the PC, and have installed a PCI 5 port-USB card. I have the MW12 connected to a dedicated USB, the Virus TI connected to a dedicated USB, and my RADIAS connected to a dedicated USB.

I also have a Korg Karma which I connect the MIDI ports to a Edirol UM101 USB MIDI device which in turn is also connected to the PC.

I can record and playback MIDI (sometimes) from each of the Synths.

I have each of the synth Main Outs connected through 1/4" jacks to the various inputs on the MW12. I can control each of these using a slider on the MW12.

Channel 1: VirusTI Left
Channel 2: Virus TI Right
Channel 3: RADIAS Left
Channel 4: RADIAS Right
Channel 5/6: KARMA Left and Right
Channel 7/8: Not Used
Channel 9/10: from Laptop soundcard
Channel 11/12: Not used

I have my separate laptop headphones-out connected through a 6mm jack socket to Phono lead into channels 9/10 of the MW12.

I have no idea what the following buttons on the MW12 do;

ST - on each channel (these are all ON)
PFL - on each channel (these are all OFF)
1-2 - on each channel (these are all ON)
ST/Group - under CR/Phones knob (depressed)
to ST - to left of CR/Phones knob (depressed)
2TR In/ to USB (depressed)

How's that for a starter for 10 sir?

EDIT: I have started a separate thread about this here.

Juho L 25.01.2007 12:42 PM

I added few of my tracks to the radio. On the first try there were somekind of database error due full inbox. Then I cleared my inbox and tried again and it worked, though now one of my tracks seems to appear twice on the playlist 3.

Edit: I should learn to use the preview post function.

Old Vantaa Man 25.01.2007 09:44 PM

Bloody hell mate. You're in a tangle there.

First thing is you should only be using the headphone out on the mixer for monitoring on cans. Get that soundcard out of your life.

Keep it much more simple with your midi i/o. Daisy chain (connect them in series) your synths to each other and use just one midi i/o to the computer.

You can control each synth by setting it and Cubase to respond appropriately to the midi channel numbers that you assign each synth to be sending and receptive on. You'll need to set that on each synth's hardware correspondingly.

Connect the audio outs of each of your synths to the Yamaha and create individual audio channels for each synth/Yammy audio channel in Cubase (CUBASE USERS HELP ME WITH THE TERMINOLOGY HERE) and make sure the OUT is going back to the Yamaha.

EG:
Audio In Channel 1+2 Virus
Audio In Channel 3+4 Korg
Audio In Channel 5+6 Radius

Audio Outs should all be the same channel.


Hardware nerds. Please verify.

Voi, perkele! Juho, you eccentric bastard nero! Rakastan xx

Drammy 25.01.2007 10:10 PM

Good stuff Juho - the production is excellent.

Did you mix it?

I assume you enjoyed my productions. Thank you.

Thanks. Although I'm not very satisfied to my masterings as all the mixes end up being thick and rather bassy. Sometimes it's ok and works well, but mostly it just makes the track sound like mud.

Quote:

Yes. On the tracks I uploaded I've done everything except playing guitars on Kuinka sinua voinkaan rakastaa and vocals on Face Upon a Stone.

Edit: Plus the composition on Face Upon a Stone is not mine because it's a remix.

And your boots.
