i had a grand idea of combining a few different clips of orchestras tuning up into one long composition. i got really into the first clip i found and made this instead:

xxp That's impressive. What processing/editing did you do to the sample?

that is a good idea for a track, Z_S

pssstttt, Hey you (dog latin), Thursday, 4 April 2013 22:15 (eleven years ago) link

thanks!

the editing was really simple. i just isolated a 2-3 second long segment of a youtube recording of an orchestra tuning and put a copy on two different tracks. on one of the tracks i time stretched the clip a little bit (making it 4 seconds or so - i ignored the metronome and bpm for this song). then i looped both tracks, with reverb and a little delay. since one of the tracks was a little longer than the other, they fall in and out of phase. then i made copies of those two tracks, and added a little bit of pitchshifting (maybe a fifth up, only 25% wet). so for the first section, it starts with the two tracks phasing against each other, and then gradually over the course of a minute or two the pitchshifted tracks enter the fray in the center channel while the two original tracks divide to the left and right channels, respectively, as they fade out.

then i repeated that whole process two more times, using two other 2-3 second clips from the original recording. so that's an A, B and C section. then i just went with a good old ABCB structure, about 2 minutes for each.

i'm bummed because as usual i put the whole thing together with headphones, and it sounded nice, and the panning for the various tracks during entries and exits helped to define the "movements" more clearly. but on laptop speakers and ipod headphones, all of that is lost, and the shifting bass tones in the B section are pretty much inaudible. so it'll sound like a muddy mess pretty much 90% of the time that anyone ever listens to it. luckily that'll only be 15 or so plays!

listening to your music on a shitty car stereo (like mine) or phone/laptop speakers can be a crushing experience.

Thanks. I've been planning on compiling it into a CD with a nice hand-printed cover.

So hey again, I'm no muso but I've been working hard on writing and improving my songwrtiting and I'd be interested on feedback here, I know it'll be harsh. I know the mix is shit - that side of things I'm still learning. So put that aside and any comments welcome.

(and yes theres a glitch at the start of the track, no idea why)

It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 13:46 (eleven years ago) link

I get the same kind of glitches whenever I render a track in REAPER as an MP3 (using the LAME codec). It doesn't happen every time, and when it does it's in different places, but usually at the beginning. One of the reasons I switched to using FLACs instead.

Will you see a political publicity stunt? (snoball), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 13:51 (eleven years ago) link

Yes thats exactly it! I built the base music in FLstudio, rendered that to a wav, added that wav to my Reaper file with my vox etc, then when I rendered THAT to mp3 it fucked up. In the same spot each time! Even when I re rendered the base music!?

It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 13:59 (eleven years ago) link

Anyway I'd like to know what anyone interested thinks of my track :) its the first time I have written/sung a full track all on my lonesome.

It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 14:01 (eleven years ago) link

the music and songwriting are both great, some of the vocal harmonies sound a little off but harmonies are hard. if it was my song i'd make it a little shorter/tighter by cutting a verse but that's not a reflection on the song, just my personal preference.

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 10 April 2013 14:39 (eleven years ago) link

The instrumental bit between 2:40 and 3:15 could be a bit shorter, as well as the outro from ~4:10.

(I'm tone deaf, so can't say anything re: harmonies)

Oh hi, me again. Turning up here every few years like a salacious auntie. Anyways I've just done a new thing which is probably my best one yet and sounds real nice if you like loud things.

Lynskey, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 22:24 (eleven years ago) link

Ta guys - yeah harmonies can be a bitch. Ive also cut and shuffled the song heaps as it is, never sure how to make things end properly! It is just a demo tho. I'll nail all that eventually.

https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/wkey this is the last thing I recorded before my amp tried to kill me, RIP recording career, you ended how you began - with a bunch of poorly recorded bashing away on an instrument I have no idea how to play.

put up a new track just now. this one never got to where I thought it might, I like aspects of it but it wasn't gelling so I decided to call it "done" and move on.
