Title: Autobahn 3 Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 13, 2008, 01:30:11 AM Since there is a Autobahn theme marathon happening here,I figured that I would continue it,as it never ceases to be fun. :D

This is based on rhythm and it has a good bassline (maybe could be a bit more loud) Good synth textures. Very odd synth hits in the middle (original idea!) I enjoyed it Cheers Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 13, 2008, 09:55:18 PM L.R.,
I wanted the drums to be the centerpiece in the beginning and I then wanted the synth bass to be more pronounced later in the song,so that's why the levels are where they are at. Thanks for the input & compliments. :) Thom Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: Wyatt on May 14, 2008, 12:31:28 AM Hi Thom,
Great song..its got a lot of drive. ;) ..and real nice development too. Cool photo..been a long time since I saw a nice '62 like that..looks like a real killer sound system, too. I'd like to hear it playing this song of yours..now that would shake up the Autobahn!! 8) Wyatt Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 14, 2008, 02:58:30 AM Hey Wyatt,
Thanks for the nice review. 8)The hot rod is from the Wildwood car show I used to attend every year down there. Thom Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: Oren on May 14, 2008, 04:15:39 AM There's a satisfying mechanical feel to this one, evoking images of pistons, pushrods and pulleys.
I had a 1963 Rambler Ambassador with a 327 hi-performance Chevy engine crammed under the hood. Sounded a lot like that. especially with the windshield wipers engaged.... ::) Creative bit of sonic imagery, Thom :) Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: SoundKlops on May 14, 2008, 02:13:38 PM Very nice! :D
But for a German motorway the rhythm is too slow. (http://bestsmileys.com/cars/22.gif) Andreas Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 14, 2008, 02:42:06 PM Oren,
Since I've been saving most of the keyboard parts for my analogue synths(Alesis Ion in this case,until I get my X-Station),it has left me with more room to play with effects for just the drums-meaning that I have 5 insert effects to play with on my Korg. For the drum tracks in this piece,I've used a combination of compresser,7 band eq and a pitch shifter effect to get that mechanical feel. Speaking of hot rods...I used to have a 71 Dodge Dart stuffed with a 318 V8 and the muffler pipe was disengaged from the manifold,along with busted engine mounts on the right side....so you can imagine what that sounded like when it took off! >:D :- Thanks for your poetic review & compliments. :D Thom Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 14, 2008, 02:45:02 PM Andreas,
Thank you for the compliment. :) As for the slow rythym..well..I'll just have to make another version with a higher bpm! >:D ;D Thom Title: Re: Autobahn 3 Post by: Oren on May 14, 2008, 03:44:05 PM ...I used to have a 71 Dodge Dart stuffed with a 318 V8 ... Should have kept the Dodge, man. Righteous piece of American iron.... 8) |
