Mornats Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Having received some great advice on here about getting a good tone when recording I had a go at recording a tune that had been forming in my head. I popped along here to check the theme, and expanded the tune to fit. I need to re-record some instruments, clean up a couple of parts that aren't working and do the mixing (eq tweaks so that no instrument is stepping on the toes of others mostly) and I should have my first entry in a looking time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I finished mine last night and will upload it later today (when I can get back to my music PC). It is a kind of faux Al Di Meola track; think Al without the flawless technique and production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm really looking forward to listening to this month's entries. Nevertheless, as I respect artistry, I shall be casting my vote for Beyoncé. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's all gone to cock!! Here is my effort but there are a load of techno glitches in there that I need to deal with which were not on the original so must have been in the audio download. I will try and address it if I get time but, in the meantime, here is my Al Di Meola shredfest.

xgsjx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just been having a listen to the entries. Good interpretations of the picture. All different from what I envisioned, but that's the beauty of music. Mine's almost done, it's just getting time to do a little her & there & get the iPad off the Mrs. I'm gonna get back to it just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Mine's coming along nicely. As per usual it's got a spy-music feel to it with some old movie dialogue jammed into semi-appropriate spots. I'm just deciding on whether to go for a synth or to add strings to my brass section (I'm leaning towards the strings). Next up will be a bit of mixing but I've been following advice I've read and I've been trying to get it right by just balancing the volume of each track first. I'm hoping the mixing stage will just separate some sounds from each other so you can hear them more clearly. Might have it done by the end of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
