Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: July 30 2003, 12:48 You asked for it! But, hmm... that's strange. Where's that piano part you mention? I don't hear any piano. Do you mean that mellow, glocky synth? Don't ever call a synth a piano! Don't even call an electrical piano a piano. A piano has to be mechanical to be called a piano! It has value! Not every electrical thingy deservers the beautiful, yet powerfull name of the pianoforte! Those with understanding and respect of a true, rightious piano would never commit such a sin! But, *cough*, er... sorry for that. The sound of the glocky part is nice actually, but sometimes a bit hard on the ears. You know, like it wants to crawl into my ears... you get me? It's those secundo's, I think. The pitchy thing you introduce at 1:37 sounds different from the orginal, doesn't it? I don't always like it that much this way. Could it be that the pitch of Mike goes one tone higher (just guessing). And is that a real guitar, btw? -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: July 30 2003, 13:31 well man actually...the glocky synth is the Rhodes Piano I actually played this rhodes part on a grand on that party about the guitar...no it's not a real one.....hihih never the pitchy thing......maybe the tone higher...err right... -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 30 2003, 18:26 Technically, an electric piano like a Rhodes is mechanical Nice sounding track, I like the gentle electric piano sound combined with the oboe at the beginning. I reckon that the synth strings which come in at around 0:49 might be a little up-front (I'd probably knock them back a bit so they're more of a background texture personally), but no big deal. The swoopy sound needs to go up more than a tone more (to stay in keeping with the original) - I think it should be an octave between those notes (as I remember it...) and you have it going up a fifth...still works though. I also notice that the bass goes down into 5 string territory at the end there - not like the original but I like it   Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: July 30 2003, 19:07 Nice cover, Booster! Like the guitar as well. Makes a difference when you put distortion over a sample rather than using an already-'distorted' sample. Very nice. And gentle. I don't like the piano sound too much either that you used, but it's still good. And with the good ol' Booster reverb! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue."

SCprogfan Unregistered Posted: Aug. 01 2003, 11:13 I love the reverb.  I have always printed keyboard parts "wet" when I record.  Now with computer, I print things dry, then add effects because I don't currently have a hardware effects unit.  But laying down the part with effects already on makes me pull out a lot more creative sounds on the fly.
