Yep PM'd you. Don't want to colour anyones opinion?

Was it made with akai cd3000 samples recorded into a sampling hack mode enabled juno 60.
Besides the aliasing it sounds good.. and I wouldn't have guessed what the sound sources where.

As requested

MMMMmmmmm Touche!

[Lamster]

Heres another upload of it without the Aliasing?


Is that better?

I like it. It definitely has a bit of the pipeline vibe in the intro, but that first lead synth that comes in doesn't fit as much.

The drums sounds like a preset kit from Hypersonic, but I assume those sounds are a bunch of other places too.

Also, not enough cheesy reverb to be truly "modey"

[Lamster]

Thanks
I was trying to get a DM feel without being too Blatent

It is recorded very well... The bass pattern sounds in step with what they used...

Too funky for a Depeche Mode/Vince Clark production.

Good point I also wasn't thinking of writing lyrics about sh***ng 15 year old girls in a rose garden while covered in acne either

Content of the last one is good... but it sounds too digital.. I bet if it was put onto tape it would benefit alot from it.. and don't tell me you used a poly61
... actually listening back to it... it was taken from tape wasn't it..

Guess I like the song, but the synths are too schrill for my ears... even after tape.

This one hasn't been near any tape it was recorded on minidisk think re-eq-ing the whole mix then dumping it to reel to reel and back might make it better sounding?

Wouldn't even eq it.. sounds fine there, straight to tape... I did alot of experimentation on recording track to tape and back.. never liked the sound of any pre-eq'd stuff.. just hit the tape really hard @7.5ips.. Would have gone for 15ips... cept I had alot of bass heavy tracks which lost a slight bit of low freq energy at that speed...
If you want I can record this @ both speeds if I get a chance and share the track privately.. you can stick them onto soundcloud then yourself. you'll then know exactly what your *possibly soon to be puchased? revox will sound like.

Sounds like a plan? go for it!

I thought the music sounded sort of 80's but the synth sounds themselves don't.

I find a lot of 80's stuff used very soft sounds whereas modern stuff is much more in your face. I never knew how they did it but I recently plugged a Prophet'08 into an analogue delay and got that exact soft sound.

So, get an analogue delay. The Beheringer (yes, really) CC300 is really cheap and good and put on a load of spring reverb. Also, turn the sync sound down, it's way to harsh and forward for 80's music.

I used to have 2 analog delays a JHS and a Laney should have hung on to them.

Maybe I should try some other sounds on them I'll have to dig the Midi files out and try something different ?

[Lamster]

So did anyone download any of them?
I used to do stuff like this all the time years ago. But things moved on, just came across an old minidisk with loads of stuff on. The two I posted just stuck out more than the others. Those of you that enjoyed them and left comments
Thanks!
