Stephen Houghton Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Here's my effort this month, didn't have a lot of time so did the best I could in the time I had. Tried to come from where the mind of people who do these type of adrenalin things are at. Love the pic though! [url="https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/hanging-on-the-edge-of-time"]https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/hanging-on-the-edge-of-time[/url] Like the ones I've heard so far, good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1400774797' post='2456900'] I concur with dad, it sounds like its clipping /peaking ...sounded great though ! [/quote] Found the problem. My computer needs an upgrade. sh*te processor, so have to bounce down every 3-4 tracks to one. There has been a stereo enhancer switched on on the output which i didn't realise. Fresh mix time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Ok here's my entry. From the pic I took the inspiration that the guy is calm even though he's in a dangerous, crazy position. So i decided to do a contrast piece between calm and dangerous. With a crazy section stuck in. You will know what i mean! With regards to the flute melody, this was achieved by cutting up about 40 flute samples into 1 beat or 2 beat or 3 beat phrases etc and arranging them into what i wanted. I'm not 100% happy with mix. But i have had a lot of gyp with my computer and cubase sequel. I have no time left as I'm away this weekend so it will be what it will be. Bass could be louder. In the weird section the band sound is supposed to be swamped a little. Cheers, hope you enjoy. It was hard work!

[/quote] if you get latency issues and the sound jumping during the mix phase put the buffers to highest and it helps. it will mean monitoring during recording is undoable. also lock tracks once recorded that helps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skates had better be put on pretty sharpish now, though, as, officially, entries are to be proffered up until midnight TONIGHT..! There is a fair tolerance for latecomers, but now is the time to finish polishing your gem and render it available for the voting period to follow. Let's be 'avin' yer..!

Skol303 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Ok… managed to get it done! A hasty effort by me this month. Written and recorded today, which is contrary to my usual slow and ponderous methods. It’s a hip hop track. It has me rapping. It’s the first and probably the last time I’ll be doing so… rapping is a lot harder than it seems. And for some reason I can’t do it in anything other than a faux US accent, which just sounds weird to me. But anyway. This one is best listened to on headphones or through a good set of speakers. The low end is fairly huge, so I take no responsibility for structural damage to your home if played too loud http://soundcloud.com/skollob/hangin I tried out a few tricks I’ve been experimenting with regards super-aggressive compression. Not exactly dinner party conversation, but it had me excited. I’ll post up the voting thread in a moment… Edited May 25, 2014 by Skol303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments left. Hmm... Now this 'ere voting is going to be at least as tough as any other. No, I'll just have to listen to them all again. Yippee..! Where's my 'phones..?
