Hidden Symmetry Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Found this old Cake project last night that I thought was long gong on an old hardive. Decided to do a quick demo remix stripping out all the old plugins, trying some I haven't used in a while plus some new ones I just picked up...Lots of old synths & hardware were used on this one like Rapture, GVI, DimPro, SR-16.. CbB worked great on this 22 year old project, no crashes or hiccups.. Written after a trip to Turkey this backdrop video has some random shots from the trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I still use DimPro occasionally, there are some really good sample sounds in there. Track sounds good and has stood the test of time, then again, musicianship of this quality always will. 🙂 Great vibe - enjoyed it. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Really cool, interesting number. The video (pictures and fades with the reel to reel tape) was creative. This has a nice cinematic sound. And yes, that is some impressive guitar work! Cool indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Still sound relevant after 22 years! Nice work on this. I like the way you manage to bend things to fit in a jazzy sort of way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Your mixing skills are quite impressive. well done..If you are into experimentation a little I would like to try and run the stereo mix through my analogue chain. You can contact me on pm if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 A lot going on in this song! Glad you were able to resurrect it! Nice bouncy beat, and great synth choices. Everything was well played. Nice job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't fired it up in a while but DimPro does have some nice samples in it & in those free exp. packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wookiee, here's a loud -8 lufs alt version trying out some new software, about +6db more than my commercial releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bats brew Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 well, i never hear the original, but this sounds clean and tight. it's funny how sometimes the plugs can be just rabbit holes. this reminds me a little bit of some of the stuff that Brand X did (check Manifest Destiny) i wished the arrangements changed keys more often, it's like just jamming to a loop... if there were more transitions (modulations) it would be that much better! it's hard to tell what's programmed, and what's really played, but that doesnt really matter, it's a vibe and a space to be in. i dig it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
