I disagree with LP, the guitars are GOOD. (Crash cymbals are a bit too loud to my ears.) Here's one of my sketches: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7285480 It's not a song, it's a "piece" - it has more in common with my watercolors than anything else. All in Cubase Studio 4. Instruments: Reaktor, SynCModular, Halion, Directwave. No FX plug-ins.

Work in progress........LL

Instruments: Reaktor, SynCModular, Halion, >Directwave. No FX plug-ins. I love it....atmospherics. There's a real mood to your piece.Very electronic though there's a kind of feedback sound in there which I really like. Do please share some more...its really good. Its a totally different genre to what I do but that's what its all about.. As for my stuff...the vocals are recorded fairly quickly. I use a home-made booth in my studio...basically a big box within a box which is carpet lined. Not exactly pro soundproofing but it does reduce the volume enough to stop next door from listening in! Its cramped and it aint ideal but it does the job. My vocal mic is an MXL condenser which I bought amazingly cheaply on Ebay..a nice mic. I do agree about the crash cymbals being a bit too loud..especially on the first song...I'll do another mix shortly and hopefully get that sorted...I'll let you know when its done....Cheers LL

I liked the songs, and really liked the guitars, esp. on the 2nd track. Here are some tunes I've been involved with over the years - none of them are via Cubase, because I just got it recently, and I'm already two albums behind on posting this material. Most of these were recorded in PowerTracks by PG Music, the Band-in-a-Box people. I used it for several years, and was pretty well satisfied with it, but one must move along with the times. Pardon me, if I'm being too off-topic spammy. http://www.DiddleyVision.com/music/DidVidmusic.htm The next batch will be Cubased.

I sometimes come up with soundtrack pieces, too, although they are more for romantic space westerns. Forbidden Deadwood Planet of the Blazing Saddles Needs Women.

(Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe and Jim Keltner made a one-off album of great songs, well played) That's a good thing, because that's one of my favourite albums. I'm in it for the fun/obsession, too. I learned to play, because I had tunes leaking out of my head. I learned how to record, because I didn't want to toss my original songs before drunken swine in bars, then I learned how to play several instruments because other musicians were too busy playing in bars... Now, I have a roomful of equipment I would have done embarrassing things to get when I was young and dangerous... and little time to go in there and play/record.

The theremin sound is a 3 osc sine wave patch in a SynCModular ensemble called SynDream (by Gabriel Landini) with lots of LFO modulation of pitch and FM. SynC is one of my favorite tweakable softsynths and is rapidly becoming unstable and unusable on my system. I will miss it a lot when it doesn't work anymore.

Your comments are appreciated because they are constructive. I understand your critisism of the vocals...I do have confidence in my singing, but it is sometimes difficult to give the vocals the same kind of power as I would in a live situation. Also it may simply be that my approach to singing isn't to your taste. I sing rock n roll style which is, by nature, a bit approximate. It has a loose feel to it which is intentional. But I talke on board what you are saying...it may encourage me to give it a bit more on my next efforts. Do post some of your stuff...I love to hear what people are working on..............LL
