Tim Smith Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Here is something a little different than what I normally do. I might make more like this in the future. I enjoyed the music and midi programming in this. A few tempo changes as the tempo slightly increases. Modo bass, UJAM Iron 2, Addictive drums 2, Air Vaccum for the solos. I used a few libs in Kontakt for the effects at the beginning and end. Mastered in TRacks. I used a stereo spreader and Sunset sound studio reverb as buses. I ran my voice through an Eventide Harmonizer plugin to get different effects. The pic I chose is chopped here. Not sure why, so it looks a little odd.

DeeringAmps Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 That intro is something! I'd fade it in a bit. What's your overall level here (LUFS)? Tim goes all ELP? t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fade the intro and maybe pull the total down. Thanks for pointing it out. I was concerned it might not be loud enough. I am slow today. Not sure what ELP is? -Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I liked the loose feel at the beginning Satan would love it if mankind had no rhythm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 As someone said to me re Pulsar it is Prog writing next. Not sure what prog writing is I think it is when you use more than three chords. Nice as ever @Tim Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Cool groove and I enjoy the sound of the keys. Imaginative keyboard parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks for comments all. I had planned to maybe take everything up to a different key but I didn't have the time. Occasionally playing a real bass helps me to hear a groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Tim, this is a gem! I imagine that it is a fun song to mix, having so much on your palette. I like the way you used Addictive Drums on this to give the song that deep undercurrent that is so cool. Your creativity is off the charts!

Bajan Blue Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Definitely a bit different, to say the least. And it reminded me a bit of ELP as well!! It does sound a bit over compressed to me, otherwise all good. Cool Stuff Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
