munk you very thach!

[rhythmtech]

really diggin this from 3:03 onwards but the first 3 mins are a little too stop/start for my tastes. then second have makes up for it though! i'd bring that lovely synth out a bit more, the one that sounds like its trying to crawl into your brain to lay some evil synth eggs!

[stjohn]

i had a bit of trouble at the start with stuff just not playing... something up with the midi trigger i think. do u ever get that when uve loads of stuff going on????? its weird. anyway, i ended up having to paste a loop into the places that were acting up, thats why its sounds stoppy mcstarty.

[rhythmtech]

no... but i generally bounce everything to audio asap

[stjohn]

yea shoudve done that i spose. ill go back over it all and plan out where i need to watch out for.

its annoying tho coming off reason, where everything is ultra automatable, onto Vsts etc.... where things can go wrong very easily, and thats if the go at all (ie. most of the NI stuff being a cunt to automate)

[rhythmtech]

when are we gonna do this track we were talkin bout rory?

[stjohn]

have exams and essays to be doin for the next 2 weeks... but ill have a week off then and id be up for it whenever!! whats the best way... swappin loops or 2 heads sitting down?

[rhythmtech]

whatever suits.. where u based?

This is realy intresting geezer, I like it.
Production sounds bang on to me, realy up front and in your face.
When it gets to about 2.20 it realy takes off, Im realy loving the hook.
I'd be jackin like a crazy man to this.
Think it would sound good in a set its hard, funky and different.

good call

[dirty_bass]

Interesting tune.
Very alien and unsettling.
I think maybe the bass could be just a little bigger, and some of the mid range overpowers the kick at points, so I think the overal blanace needs to be evened out.
Some sounds seem to breal up a bit as well.
Quirky stuff, I`d just see about getting more solidity into the bass area.

As for your recording, yeah man, stream it down, don`t live record it, if it is PC based, as you will lose out on quality.
And NI stuff being hard to automate?
It`s dead easy, what sequencer do you use?

[stjohn]

using SX2..... if i write enabe and fiddle with stuff it never shows.... things like korg legacy etc just pop up.. id love to able to automate Absy 3

[stjohn]

when u say stream it down... do u just mean have the automated vst to do everything unti mixdown??? thats a way i like it... more control

[dirty_bass]

well, I mean, when you make your final recording, once all the automation is recorded.
Don`t play and record, just stream to WAV.
I may be worng but from what you were saying above it seems like you record your tunes as they play?

[stjohn]

it was a mixture of both really.... if i found a sound i liked..... id solo and record it to a wav, just to have there!!!
stick with the automation??
so what ye fink about th NI stuf?????

thanks for all the help n comments btw... forgot to say last time!!
