Edit that preset!

Yepp.. yesterday i tested out the vocoder, after reading about it in the rfx-32 manual. I am not in desperat need of robotic voices, but its nice to have the function. But the real fun started when i used (break beat) Drumloop as carrier, then a rez bass as modulator.. i also tested with AHH sound as modulator. Where i made the drumloop as a non-transpose.It worked almost like a gate on the modulator, blending in sound from both parts. Sounds sweet. I will without doubt add that in my next track to spice up the beat :).

There might be a sound example later

Well.. the new beat break bass and drum track i done

 enjoy.. and please comment

My wife is responsible for the Ahhing in the background.  Beats and stuff are made, sampled and messed up on the emu.  bass is from a nova which is sampled down to the emu for special threate.    Voice sample are taken from the beach.  pads are from creamware lightwave and zarge orion custom 3 synth.

Well.. last night (04. july 2007) i manage to get a good workflow.. but it all ended to early.. not because my head was empty.. but because i had to go to bed…   

  Anyway.. i finaly manage to find a theme in my track.. The last few tracks have been a bit empty.. Because I havent managed to sort out any image for the soundscape.. its ended up been just music.. with no big feelings..   

finaly feel that i have some expression again.     But it dosn’t mean that its mellow chillout.. because its not.. its rather angry break music. :).   

Anyway.. i havent found the excact title yet.. but the title will contain “shark”.. and this is the reason why:

 I extracted this nice sample from the movie “The Beach” with leonardo di caprio where he talks about a shark attack.  I also sampled my Wife “Ahh”ing.   I am trying to build a feeling of beeing under water.. but not this crystal lovely images you see on Discovery.. more a cynical.. hard.. rough place with a touch of evil.  A place where the stronges predators of them all survive.   I have some work left on the ambience.. but its getting there..   The beat is pritty much in box.. rather banging stuff..

Tech stuff: 

This track relies heavy on the Emu on the drum and bass.  And i can’t say it enough.. that emu is just amazing.. its like it does the music for me….   It sounds so analouge that i have sometimes a hard time understanding its a digital sampler..   

I am using for this track

Novation Nova  (base sample for the bass, pad)

Emu e6400 Ultra (bass, drums, choir, drumloop)

Creamware synhts (Lightwave, Zarg Orion Custom 3)

Samples from my wife and “the beach”
