bjornpdx Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Somehow I survived the wookie-rays. Really like the vocal treatment. It has just the right touch for that spacey narrator sound. Loved the guitar strums, bass and synth bit up to 1:16 and kinda wanted that to develop more. 2:20 cool little xylophone (?) pattern. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 @bjornpdx Thank you sir no arp's or patterns where injured or abused in the creation of this track The xylophone is a voice from Arturia's Jup 8. Appreciate the ears and the comment thanks you sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Good playing. Sounds a little Pink Floyd at times. The drums seem a little thin to me but maybe that's the sound you're going for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Release 3 or see OP. Drum kit changed to SD 3 New York Avatar as @kurt soderquist noted he thought the drums sounded a little thin and I agreed. Few other mix changes as the CS-80 was blowing a fuse and I suspect the M1 did not record properly in release 1. Instrument list Korg M1 Arturia CS-80 V, DX 7 V, Wurli V and Jup-8 V Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3 and EZBass. Fender Stratocaster Ash body with Seymour Duncan Pups. All mixed in CbB using Pro Channel Stock plugins on each channel, and Cakewalk FX except for the Drums and Kick which used Boz Digitals +10dB compressor in parallel mode. The Strat went through NI's Guitar Rig 5 using a personal preset. The vocals were process with Cakewalk's VX-64 vocal strip and then the Pro Channel. The Lyrics, which do not make reference to any mythical beings of planet earth.Back before Anything and Nothing When time was just a delusion A question needs to be asked Did the Creator create The Dark Lord? Or did the Dark Lord create the Creator? Did the Dark Lord create the Creator? So he could destroy the Creators creations Or Did the Creator create The Dark Lord?

AndyB01 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Like that Wookie - especially 2:10 onwards - am I wrong to want it to be in 9/8? Andy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This one had a subdued mood and feel to it, and I enjoyed the listen. Nice keys solo - that was quite good. Interesting song - very creative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Good stuff, Wook. So relaxing. You'd never know it had been created by an 8-foot tall monster. I think the new drums sound great. Minor suggestion: the crash cymbals are a bit overpowering and might benefit from a little more variation, e.g. adding another cymbal for variety or using a side-hit ride. OTOH, they might just need to have their velocities backed off. I find that SD3's crash and china cymbals often fit better at lower velocities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwnicholson78 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Loved it. Bass and guitar sound great. nice relaxing vibe. There's a sudden jump in volume at around 1:14 that's kind of jarring and sounds out of place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hey Wookiee . . . it's a great piece you've done here. I like how when it gets going it starts with that pulsating Bass, instead of the usual kit thing. The poetry sets the tone for what is to follow nicely. For a furry alien you've traveled far from your DJ disco days. Great vibe on the guitar parts, but for me the Bass guitar part stands out, as it changes tempos and feels throughout this piece . . . it's the driving force, well done there. garybrun made me laugh, Adam and Eve's bellybuttons . . . you mentioned a CS-80 . . . I know a guy who still has one of those (and a Polymoog in his closet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Nearly but not quite Andy starts in 4/4 then slips in to 12/8 drops to 6/8 for bit then back to 12/8 before a final hooray in 4/4. Thanks for having a listen and commenting you are most kind.

Wookiee Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 @Douglas Kirby Thank you sir you are most kind. 16 hours ago, bitflipper said: You'd never know it had been created by an 8-foot tall monster. @bitflipper Thank you Dave your input is always appreciated, and you are right partly my own stupid furry fault. In changing the kit I did not change the drum map as a result some of the crashes were mapped to China's and Rides. I Changed the map to the correct one, checked the velocities as suggested and they were excessive. Tweaked them, changed the choice of cymbal's around tweaked the mixer and EQ settings and we now have Release 3. Thnak you again for your ears, time and cooments which are always welcome.
