Dawn of the Scope!

Posted by Higen

[irony]
Well.. long time.. you know.. i have been zoo busy updating my Facebook profile.. and hang out with virtual friends.. that i totally forgot this old school .. blog thingy..
[/irony]

Anyway.. small changes to studio setup.. i have started to move back to the scope platform again. This time i am using an external computer which does the scope work, while i am still using my iMac for logic (sequencer)

anyway the gear list is now:

* Crewamware Noah
* Novation Nova
* Waldorf Blofeld
* Emu e6400 Ultra
* MOTU 828mk2 (sound card)
* Korg ES-1
* Technics WSA1
* Akai MPD26 (midi drum pads)
* Some cheaper mic's
* PC computer running Windows 7 and Sonic-Core SCOPE 5.1 with 21 DSP.
* MAC G4 running OS 9 and Sonic-Core SCOPE 4 with 9 DSP.

For now i am using the SCOPE for mastering (with the excellent BRICKWALL limiter from DAS, together with the MasterIT EQ from DAS)

But also during production as a fx box where i use the SC-Plante (Sonic Timeworks).. Great stuff!
I hope that i can utilize it even more, by moving the ADAT i am using today for the Fostex converter and route it to the sonic-core giving me 8 in/out to the sonic-core <--> iMac.

Then i have to connect the last two synths into the creamware..

Anyway.. added a new track to the archive.. My Beauty.. i have 2 others. but they need proper naming and id3 tag before adding them.

Higen – Emotional Blender

Posted by Higen

Finaly i manage to finish up the track.. it took about 5 month.. not because i was out of inspiration.. or need to find my own soul or.. that i needed to touch the skies.. etc... nop.. it was a lack of time... 3 kids just steals your day!

Maria is doing the vocals, i am speaking some rubbish.. else its a housy track in 110 bpm.. using emu for beats together with ultrabeats (from logic).. pads are also emu.. virus and nova its also there..

Some new stuff coming up

Posted by Higen

Well.. i haven't died or anything.. i have just been busy with other stuff.. anyway..
working on some new stuff... coming back to the sampling and all the fun it gives.

adding two mp3 files of different types of emu pads i am using in my current track

Marias Voice made as an pad on the emu (using regular 4-pole lowpass):
MariaEmuPad

Novation Nova base sound, sampled down to the emu w/o filters and envelopes, then layred and filtered in the emu, using the 2EQ+Lowpass Morph filter:
NovaEmuPad

Both are using the RFX-32 card for reverb and echo effects adding some depth to the sound..

Enjoy.. if you want the patches, mail me or drop a post.. you can get them as .e4b files

The track i am working on.. is a bit up tempo chillout i guess. 110bpm stuff...

Studio anno May 2010

AS an extra info: Psy-works.net is up AS an sampler cd Page for old samples. :)

Latest track

Posted by Higen

Hello,

not been much activity here, much because of all the hard work with TG-demo and track.

but i thought i could add the track here so you could listen :) .

Its a trancy kind of tune with Maria as vocals.

The Emu is used for beats, and a downsampled nova to the emu is used for bass. Wsa1 for pads, virus b for blips and blops.

DJ – Fathir :)

Posted by Higen

The other day i actually came across a news that told me that google had released its old search-index from 2001.
So i took a dive and searched for my old nick/artist name, which was Dj Fathir :D

I took the name, because it sounded goaish.. and all the cool trance duds had "dj" in their name.. which i didn't understood was because they actually where dj's.
As for me, i had never touched a turntable or a dj mixer.. (which is also the current status of my dj career)

The Tracks are not downloadable, but i should have them somewhere around, so please feel free to request them :)

DJ Fathir @ (the old) mp3.com

You can find DJ Fathir tracks at the music archive

Vandetta – Sticky Pineapple

Posted by Higen

New track out.

Not too much to say about it, the ahh'ing is done by Maria. I like the touch. But i am not that satisfied with the whole composition. but instead of starting over, i finished the track, so i can start over with blank sheets.

The drums are heavy done on the emu, the same with all the bases. Mostly nova sampled direct into the emu.
