Title: You are what you do! Post by: Moon on December 18, 2011, 04:03:40 PM Hi,
It's been a long time since I was able to find some musical inspiration. This weekend, I finaly managed to work on a new piece. I've got the basic worked out. It's rough on the edges, but the basic idea is there. Comments are welcome! Moon Title: Re: You are what you do! Post by: Marc JX8P on December 18, 2011, 06:32:48 PM Nice - has a lovely 80s synth vibe to it. The background synth pattern gets a little repetitive; you could try liven it up by inserting a few fx sounds (gated white noise, synth arpeggio, that kind of stuff). The vocals are cool! The end of course is a bit sudden but I assume that you're working on that. In any case, looking forward to see what you'll be doing with it!

The appregio is comming from Sylenth1. I think I can create some CC envelopes on it. That should give some variation. I'm still struggling with the sounds though. I wanted a modern sound, not an 80s-sound. I'll keep experimenting... The vocals come from a speech a 13-year old girl have back in the 80s during a convention in Brazil. It stroke me that 25 years later, not much had changed and everything she was telling us is still true. That inspired me... I'll keep on working it... Moon Title: Re: You are what you do!

The child's voice sounds a bit sharp and brittle - most kids do. I wonder if some careful EQ would improve this. Title: Re: You are what you do!

That "period vibe" comprises the charm of the song. It sounds honest, to the point. Messing with this would be a mistake O0 Title: Re: You are what you do!

Great start Moon Title: Re: You are what you do! Post by: SLD Music on February 09, 2012, 02:53:23 AM Moon,
Great start on this! Has it been developed since you posted this? I'd be curious to hear what you've done... The pieces aren't quite gelling together yet, but I see how they will once you start fine-tuning things. Title: Re: You are what you do!

Superb! |
