MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: April 22 2003, 00:09 I recently bought a new audio studio program for my computer to make mixing my music much easier and sounds much better. I did a little test of the Tubular Bells intro. Kind of like the new sample everyone's heard except mine is 1:09 instead of 1:00! Nothing special, but I thought I'd share it with you. http://smc.sq7.org/brandon/tbshort.ogg http://smc.sq7.org/brandon/tbshort.mp3 It's in OGG Vorbis format so use the latest Winamp or something else that will play OGGs. EDIT: For you who don't have an OGG player, I've uploaded an MP3 as well. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: April 22 2003, 21:22 Booster: The program I used is simply called "Audio Studio" by Magix. I only used it for mixing. It's much easier to do than just using an audio editor which is what I always did before (including with Tr3s Lunas II). For the music, I used a Roland MT-200 synthesizer. And a real guitar, obiviously, with a Zoom 505II multi-effects pedal. I don't have a bass so I had to play the bass part on the guitar as low as it could go . Ancient: What? No comment?? Does that mean it's perfect to you?! lol just jk. Just since every post you make about a tune has criticism in it, and this time there isn't any so it's like nothing is wrong with it . Just kidding though. I know you don't just put negative feedback in your posts. It was just too much to resist. -------------- 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."

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: April 23 2003, 06:10 Like you said, it's nothing really special. It's just a test, which has put out succesful. The composition in contrary is horrible! First that aweful repetitive tune, then you double it with an annoying tinkly noise and when it's about to get terribly boring, you add a stupid bass! Are you living in the 70's or what? You durty hippy!   -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

Music, the ancient language...

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: April 24 2003, 15:46 Serious now. It's good you uploaded the mp3 to, because the previous ogg track you uploaded really annoyed me. I had downloaded and installed Winamp3, played your track, and then I decided to get rid of the program as I needed space, and Winamp3 was slowing my computer terribly down. Then it seemed that Winamp3 had stolen all music track extentions! I found no better then to download and install Winamp2 again. Anyway, I just want to say you're pleasing at least one person with the mp3 file! -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: April 24 2003, 18:37 You don't need Winamp3 to play OGGs. Winamp2 will play them just fine. I don't like Winamp3 much anyway. Winamp2 is all I use. -------------- 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." Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: April 25 2003, 10:36 btw Brandon now I will have to beat you with sound-quality ...do you count with that? -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: April 25 2003, 20:02 Yes I must still work on that. After comparing this short TB song with the new sample, I think mine has a little too much middle and not enough of everything else. I'll definitly be working on my sound quality. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 27 2003, 16:44 This is very good but I think the guitar comes in too early and the timing of it is odd.I would prefer to hear the Bass on its own for a while but I know its only a test so its not an issue. I prefer my recording on a hardware multitrack which gives me something physical to work with but software has come a long way and its a lot cheaper now! Nice one mate! Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: April 28 2003, 00:10 Yeah I know the guitar comes in too soon and the timing is different. But I could only play that piano tune for so long before I just HAD to stop lol. And after the piano I had to record the 2 organs and a synth pad and a second piano doing the same thing before I got to the bass and guitars. One of the reasons why I made it a 'Tubular Bells *Short* Intro' . When the guitar comes in on the original, the piano plays more on beat instead of going off-beat like at the very beginning so it gives the guitars a longer beat to play (the guitar theme which I had to cut out a beat on because of the way the beginning piano plays). Don't know if I'm making any sense here hehe.... Thanks, though! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.
