Im downloading them now.....

Cheers

DS

okay ... no prob ;)

103 - TB303, SH101, TR909 + TR606, Reaktor5

bowling for venlo - Reaktor5, Clavie MicroMod, TR909

lekker frambozen - VirusB, Clavia MicroMod, Reaktor5 (the percussions are samples)



all tracks are sequenced and arranged by Ableton4 and for the mastering an SPL Vitalizer MK2 (+some nice mastering plugins ... we don't like Waves plugins, so no waves maximizers a.s.o. here !) the recording interface is an EMU1620M and the mixing board is a Mackie 1604 VLZ pro :wink:

Good music but i think the mixing is a bit rough.
:)

I was wondering when we were gunna hear a few of your tunes..

Not my style of tunes, but there's heaps I like about them though.

Your distortions are great - so warm and chunky, but not over powering. You said you are using Ibanaz, which ones? I've been trying to find a UE400 in good condition for about 10 months now. I haven't had enough experinece with the individual Ibanez pedals to buy them blindly, so I'd like to know which you use.

Great kick and bass sounds - Zweiter's bass end is very cool.

Like the fusion of the digital sounds.

All up nice work.

thank you :)


the Ibanez Overdrive is the first one they've ever produced - there are two versions available ... in this case you should watch out for the older one



the pedal on the left, with the "Roland-SH-styled" Overdive label is the older one (from 1976) it has the balace control in the middle and the tone on the right, it has been produced in japan - the one on the right is the newer one (produced after 1977 only) ... don't know wehre it comes from - but it sounds not as raw and dirty as the older one - this version has the balance on the right and the tone control in the middle.

And ever keep in mind, these old pedals (especially overdrives and distortions) have to be used with a 9V block, u can't use an adapter to power the AC jack (with analog gear a higher tone control produces a lot of noise while in full "wet" balance) ;)

Thanks for the info! Appriciate it. :D

EDIT: Just found a few of the older ones on the Japanese web-auctions. They aren't cheap at all are they!? 8O

Think I may have to keep an eye out on the 2nd hand junk shops instead. :cry:

Nice tunes. Some tracks have got that Sven Vath feel to it.

Is the SPL Vitalizer MKII hardware or software? I use to own the Mk I and it was the mutts nuts - if they have a software version I may just have to grab it!

@Hollowcell : they are very cheap when you compare the them to the famoust Ibanez tubescreemer series - think i paid about 40$ for mine :wink:


the SPL MK2 is hardware and it's a great tool, but don't call your MK1 mutts nuts - i have the MK1 as well and i'm using it to get more brilliance out of the my clavia micro mod ... just give it a try, get your out one and two of your virus through the MK1, than use the bypass switch to get an idea what this mutt nuts does to the sound :twisted:

Analogue,

German translation problem...

Mutts nutts = the dogs bollocks = very very good in English.

Have to agree with HC about the distortinos. Love 'em. Not too overpowering and I think they sit nice in the song. Good work.

Well the prices of the 2 1970's overdrives I found on the auctions here are around $300! As they are the first I've seen though, so maybe they aren't the average going price. I'll keep an eye out.

There are a heap of tube screamers though (various issues) and they seem to fetch around $70 to $100.

Thanks for the info AW.

.. and here's the new one - beware of the bass 8O

Vorschlach


it's a little bit darker than the other tracks :wink:

no new reviews here ? :cry:


ok - here's the new one: Seebadrock :wink:

Re: Siggi Bitburger & Klaus Thaler Tracks
 

wow this one is massive!
very nice work!

Sid sounds are really nice aswell but the only thing bothering me there is the kick,it has this anoying thump,i would prefer hearing a more round bass.

DLed it when you first posted the link, but I forgot about it over the New Years break!

I'll put that and also the newest one on my playlist and let you know what I think in the next few days. :D

Like them both. Nice work :D That?s some badass bass you got there on Vorschlach :twisted:

thank you :)

i think the next one will be online tommorrow !

@Tomer: kick will have a more round bass - stay tuned :wink:

okay ... with a little delay here is: Schulterzucken !


enjoy it - and please leave your feedback about the track :wink:

remember the sound comming out of the tunnel of horror or the haunted house ?

... it's the sneakbass of the Schleichweg !

this one is good,realy nice groove and minimalism to it.

Nice work again.

Your stuff would work really well on a club system or in a live setting. The sounds (specially the bass) are sweet indeed.

Keep it up. :D

it would ... and it will do ;)

like i said the tracks Zweiter & Bowling for Venlo will be released on vinyl by http://www.miditonal.de on the next 12'' the other two tracks will be from http://www.discogs.com/artist/Subhead 8)
