Xoo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 http://www.alien8.co.uk/audio/AftermathOfCollidingNeutronStars.mp3 Although I normally do space-rock tunes, this is a bit of a different direction (ambient/synthy). Very much a Work In Progress at the moment, but I think it's still nice as it is. Listen on headphones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 @Kevin Perry Not bad but I have just listened to most of The Space Ritual so I may be just a little deaf. You should develop it it is ripe for more, could easily expand in to a cool chilled 30 minuet piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just a *little* deaf? ? Thanks - I do intend to extend it, just not sure if it'll make the 30 minute mark! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Good promising start. And yeah this could easily turn into a longer electronic piece. For example, I was waiting for that nice synth in the background to take over for a while, maybe around 1:45. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Same URL, but no longer a WIP - I didn't make it 30 minutes long, just 4 and a bit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Tight mix. I hear all parts well. Not especially bass heavy. Great presentation in the mids. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 That's really great to hear - it was all done on headphones (monitors currently mothballed for space reasons) so I was a bit worried about how the frequency balance would work. And I was having to work with (not that I knew at the time) a failing PSU on my audio interface...maybe I should work more like that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred's Gratis Scores Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Cool! That gave me some inspiration for some kind of space-ambient-chill-orchestral tune. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Nice to hear it has been expanded I have just one thought it could do with some subtle sparkly reverb dust over the top of the mix. It sounds a little like it is constrained here on the Adam's. Thanks for sharing the expanded tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I'm not a huge reverb person (there are some reverbs on individual instruments and quite a few delays too). I have a super-extended mix to post later (it's a cunning one that fits in nicely with the idea of neutron stars colliding).

Wookiee Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I am not a big fan of reverb either @Kevin Perry but I do use a global reverb on a buss which has an EQ before it that rolls off all the bass below about 150hZ at an externally sharp slope 48dB/Oct. Using tiny little send amounts from each synth, most of which have their own reverb as part of the voice sound, to create reverb glue that keeps them all in the same sound space. This Black Hole mix sounds better it has more top end air compared with the Post WIP mix which to me sounded quite boxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Lovely stuff Kevin. Plenty of ear candy. The section that starts around 2.43 reminds me of a recurring dream I used to have but that's another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as there were no mix changes! The only differences were I exported as a 24 bit wav from CbB, loaded into SoundForge, reversed it and stuck it on the end (I said it was black hole like!) and exported from there - same bit rate too, so presumably (and I haven't listened closely) the export algorithm in SF is "better" than CbB's (or it's psychosomatic?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
