I had to go back and look at the text editor (top left button in the reply box) of one of my previous Soundcloud embeds to jog my memory :wink: There is a Special BBCode for media about halfway down the "Please Select" list Lovely song BTW :thumbsup: I wanna say it sounds like an old school video game, but duh :tongue: of course it does!

Here's my new jam: http://soundcloud.com/jrock-1/octopus-1 Went oldschool :smile:

That is Lovely Hawkeye :cool:

Thanks! That's the idea ;) keep it short and fast! Always leave'em wanting more :smile: Thanks Hawk! Nice to see you. Maybe a Super Triangle? If memory serves correct It's 2 Triangle Oscillators XOR'd together then folded then filtered. The part I'm happiest with is I used the Bassline as the Carrier for the Vocoder. It's the first time I've used an external carrier and it really helps add some punch and grit underneath the verse.

Here's a little song I put together with my modular and an MPC1000. It's built up out of a bunch of deconstructed weirdness :tu: http://soundcloud.com/jrock-1/i-want-it-allwav

Hi. I just wanted to stop in and share my new song with you guys. I hope you like it :flowers:

You will need everything that you listed there to configure the options to your custom specifications. Good luck :thumbsup:

Sorry Mr. kristal=. You're gonna have to wait till I get the I's dotted and the T's crossed for downloadability. If you're really interested PM me and I'll get you your very own copy :thumbsup:

Thanks :thumbsup: Happy New Year to you as well. I have a DBX 166XL. It's pretty grimey! I like it a lot... I don't use it that often though because I'm so unfamiliar with it. I even have it hooked up so I can sidechain stuff without repatching, and I still don't use it. Sounds like I need to hook my mic in to it. That's the main advice I get "compress your VOX". It's something I'll be working on for 2012.

Thank You :sorcerer: That's very helpful. Thanks for your time. My brother just sent me an email saying the same thing about need some compression/limiting on the Vox. I have Reaper, but my only computer is a netbook and once I have more than one track the latency is Crazy... Like 1 second! Even with Midi. I'll get around to gettin' there by the time computers are obsolete and we just pipe our thoughts directly on to the cloud :laugh: BTW I wrote out the lyrics in the description box in case you're interested.

Coming form you Mr. mOOdawg I know it's constructive and I appreciate the candor :flowers: I'm grateful for well intentioned feedback from knowledgeable people. I definitely put it in my pipe and smoke on it a while ;) I do need to practice my compression a little more. I am not that familiar with when, why and how to use it effectively, so I am hesitant. I burn through my songs so fast so as to get them done before I lose interest or get distracted that I don't get much opportunity to try this and try that. I need to set some time aside dedicated to practice. It doesn't help that I don't have a DAW. I just sequence everything on my MPC and render it down to a stereo track.

Thanks Imp! I appreciate it :thumbsup: :flowers: They're a little blurry cause I tripled'em maybe? :laugh: (Quadrupled and Quintupled at the harmony parts)

Thanks :thumbsup: I appreciate the feedback. Yeah. I originally went with a more ballsy, aggressive take, that's my go to vox... Singing Punk and Metal for years... I have no problem belting it out. It didn't fit right though. It was too heavy. It was too throaty. It wasn't spacy enough. I've been working on stripping all the extraneous vocal crutches out of my takes lately - ie: vibrato, cliche inflections, breathiness, trying to cut my thick dialect out as much as possible... I listen to takes with that stuff and it feels affected to me.... and just burn it down to the essence and let the higher, headier stuff through. Still sounds too throaty to me. Just experimenting with new stuff and trying to grow a little bit. It could use some Eq. I just sample the Vox straight in to my MPC and can't be bothered with fiddling around with them too much. Sheer laziness :laugh: Not quite in tune? Double it! ;) I'm always worried If I fiddle around with it too long I'll either deaden the song or lose interest and it'll be just another song in the unfinished bin. MBCV is controlling the Synth playing the triplet Bassline. The 1V/Oct and the Gates and triggers. I just built a new synth and I was putting it through it's paces to make sure everything works properly and the I came up with the Bass Line and the rest just coalesced from there.

Here's my new Jam! MBFM for the drums; Oohh so Crunchy! (a sprinkle of S900 as well) MBCV Dictating the BassLine... Hope you like it :thumbsup: Hmmm... :whistle: Not playing for me... The player is showing up and loading though. If anybody can't get it to play, please post and I'll see what I can do to fix it.
