Suggestions.....?

Please down load!

I just make music for fun and weird performance art projects

Thanx for the ears, Nailgun

Hey!

I quite liked "War and Religion", mainly cos it's nice to hear some DnB...

Can you let us know what u used on these tracks??? I can definately see your music being used at art installations etc....a bit quirky.

:)

Jase

Thanx Jase. Worked on a more traditional dance remix of wars & religion last night and will hopefully post is early next week. As for what was used

Mac powerbook with Digital performer
Virus Ti polar patches: wetbass, motosync, canhappen and crysalis
Rolland XP-30 patches; drampad, heavenly pad and TR-909 kit
Korg Elecrtibe SX1 Garage kit
Samples motu mach5
Korg Kaos pad 2

If you have ideas or suggestions let me know. I have no idea what I'm doing in the mastering phase.

Cheers, Nic

listening to wars and religion now. Like the beat. Dont know if it is my monitoring system, but the kick drum is deeeeeeeppppp ;-) THing hits you in your gut. No one is home and I have the song blaring.
Very Dark sounding! Good job.

Thanks! Merlot,
Ok I listend to yours. Perfect for a rainy day in Georgia. You did that in a couple hours? Wow. I wish I could get my $hit together that fast. What do you do with your music when your finished? Do you perform live or just record? If live, what types of venues?
cheers, Nic

Usually I just start with a chord progression and go from there. I just save it on my hard drive. Dont play live or anything else. Getting ready to move to NYC, so we will see what happens there!

I'm listening to coqnoir right now... the funny is that Merlot avatar is dancing in time...
about the music, well this isn't my kind of music so I can't write any comment on this, but the quality is really good. Well produced.
Regards, Lorenzo

Lorenzo,

Thanx for giving your ear. I checked out your site and the LOTR tracks. You're a natural talent. The piano/pad work is great.
We are doing something similar in using movies under the written score. I don't really know a type of music I write but is yours ambient or film sound tracks. Anyway, keep up the good work.
I'm going to Greece this summer with my girl to book some shows for next summer and .... drink a lot. Swim over and I'll buy you drink

Cheers, Nic

Well I don't know the kind of music I written in that project... that's for sure that this summer I'll start writing some prog rock/metal...
really difficult, I'm afraid of sharks :wink: anyway if you'll come in Italy I'll let you taste the better wine in the world...
regards, Lorenzo

Greek wine tastes like a pine tree. Sure,.... Italian wine, but you totally forgot to mention the amazing Italian women!!! Perhaps, I?ll get some work in Italy next summer and travel alone. I?ve never been to Italy, and to think I was classics major in college. If you want to visit the States drop me line. There is a ton of prog rock and (math rock) in Athens and Atlanta right now. It's Huge
Cheers, nic

eh eh eh so I'm lucky to have one of them...
regards, Lorenzo

Nobody likes a bragger. You probably have a kick a$$ vespa too.
Rock on.
Cheers, Nailgun :P

well yes I have a vespa too... and a fiat 500 ... ih ih ih
regards, Lorenzo

figures.... is the vespa thing a law.
ALL COOL KIDS MUST OWN A VESPA
love it!!!!

well... have you see me in the avatar? do I seem a cool guy? :roll:

uh, sorry, I'm a little off topic... ehm...

Took a listen to both the tracks you have there's a lot of good in both of them. Both have a natural flow and all the parts and sounds gel together nicely. Great stuff!

Production is pretty good also. Maybe the only thing I'd change (if you're aiming towards them being played in a club this is) is the bass end of boost it - it has a little too much stereo spread for it to work well I'd say. The lead sound is very cool though.

All up, nice stuff mate and thanks for the listen. :D

Thanx Hollowcell!

That is exactly the kind of suggestion I need. I really apprciate the critical hear. A lot of the samples are removed for the dance mix and I'm a total noob at mastering. If I understood you correctly, I should center the Bass in the mix more? I think a used the wrong limiter preset "booty shaker" in the final mix I'll try the one called "final mix" next go.

cheers, nic

Sounds like it may be the patch itself rather than in the mastering stage - maybe the bass has it's unison voices spread?

As far as the rest of the mastering goes, don't worry too much about it unless you're giving the tracks straight people to play out - good tracks will shine trough a poor mix down. Mastering engineers have to be paid for something afterall. :D

Thanx HC,

I'll check that bass patch and perhaps try a few others.
It's folks like you that make owning the Virus the best!!!

Cheers, Nic

The third of three up.
Now it's time to fix and remix!
