Chillout up next…

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Well.. after doing some breakbeat i needed to get back to the chillout style i so much love…

I am fare from finished, but i have gotten a start. I started out working up a pad patch on the emu, by layering the oscillators on my Novation Nova, then sample it down as a raw sample without filters or anything from the nova. two keys was sampled C3 and C4, then i just layered it on the emu, worked out the filters and cords to create a good lushy pad. adding a nice delay effect made it realy good.

Then i started with the drums. i have tons of singleshot drums on my computer which i am moving over to my emu… it takes a bit time with the zip, but when i have it on the hard drive, its rather easy to dial up the samples i need. Some filter works on the drums.. and layering.. i am running the kit on 3 parts using diffrent effects and filter settings.

Piano is holy grail on esx24, with filter and some modulators i worked up. then ran through the rfx for some ambience delay.

The chant voice is my own, with a slight tuning.

i am considering sample it down to the emu, then play it off like a sampler with the filter possibilities.

the cut is 2 min.. not very much.. but its a start :)

[EMU e6400 Ultra] Higen Warm Pad 1

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

E-mu e6400 Ultra

The patch is using a kind of reverbish delay on the rfx32.

To build the patch i created a base on my nova consisting of 3 osc.
osc 1: saw
osc 2: pulse width mod -> lfo1
osc 3: pulse width mod -> lfo1+lfo2

and some tweaking to get the sound to be a bit dynamic.

then i sampled it down, and got it into the emu (one C3 samples, and one C4 samples). using about 8 sec of sampling on each.

I looped them, added some corde settings. and lo pass+peakshelf filter.

Midi A = filter cutoff
Midi B = filter reso.

( the .e4b patch, emu fat)

PS! the patchfile should be renamed to B.000-… its the blog up-loader that destroys the filename

Vandetta - Bitter Taste

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

 As a correction.. in stead of calling it higen feat. bla bla.. we named the group Vandetta (dont ask why.. ).

we have made a page at Urørt, which is a norwegian concept for unheard bands :)

Link to urørt

a newer version is up

Vandetta - Bitter Taste <— download here

Its been some small changes to the drums. minor stuff.   I consider the track as done now ;)

Okay.. a new track is up. its called bitter taste, the lyrics are preformed by my wife, Maria.

Bitter Taste Lyrics:

Secret are my tears, I am hiding away from your face.
Why am i crying and feeling ashamed?
Why do sit here and feeling alone?

Times in the past, are lost moments.
I cant get it back, what we had before.

Its time for me, to move on with my life now
you cant be in my mind anymore.

Techincal:
1. layer Bass track is made by novation nova, sampled down to emu then threated.
2. layer bass track is made with v-station prosessed through a presonus tubepre (tube preamp).

Vocals are maria, with auto-tune turned hard on, to get the characteristically sound.

Pads are absynth4 and the build in es2.

Piano are holy grail emu samples piano converted to esx24.

Drums are all and alone emu, with all the glory.
