    This one worked for me.
    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!

    Like it! Left me wanting more :smile:

    Thanks! That's the idea  ;) keep it short and fast!  Always leave'em wanting more :smile:

     

    Nice job, man! (and no supersaw used! :-))

     

    Many greets!

    Peter

    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.

    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 :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.

  15. GATE OUT

    I've struggled with this a couple times before...

    Probably been the better part of half a year though.

    Looks like you have the correct settings.

    Gate out is J5. Make sure it's wired properly and GND goes where it's supposed to.

    What's RC38/37?

    Thanks Hawk :)

    Some Might take issue whether I can sing like that as well ;) (hehehe)

    It's a little high for me...

    I definitely need MOAR MidiBox in my life. I'll be back up here hassling you guys soon :heart:

    Thanks for the advice :thumbsup: I just recorded right in to the sampler to get the scratch vox down. It was close to what I wanted but slightly out of tune here and there; so I added some Chorus :sorcerer:

    The more I listen to it the more I like it :thumbsup: It does what I need it to.

    I wish I could sing more like this:

    Or This:

    :whistle:

    Thanks Rosch :flowers:

    I don't remember the patch exactly, but for the Bass I'm pretty sure I used 2 Moog clone filters (one for each channel)and ran each channel through a phaser. I'll bet I have some Band-Pass in there too. I love the band-pass! It's so cold :brr: I end up using it somewhere on almost everything I do!

    The lead in the middle and the end are the Miniak with a low-pass then a formant filter chained.

    And of Course, the drums are almost all MBFM, both sampled and realtime!
