more awesome music

Dude, I am not worthy. I ****ing love it. The second one just blows me away, BEAUTIFUL melodies. Post more!

edit - Oh and, just because I think I overestimated myself in my reply in my thread, could you give me a thorough explanation of modulation. :/

Does it have anything to do with the mod wheel, or am I just an idiot, hah.
 
I reckon I'll post a thread like this. That is when I actually start completing some tracks instead of farting around.

Eraser, modulation is just... modulation. Editing variables such as frequenciy, resonance, pitch LFO's, et cetera. If you have a keyboard, it should have a modulation wheel. You can assign variables to it. For instance, the further up you roll it, you can increase resonance while decreasing frequency, or lower your pitch while increasing your LFO amount.
You don't even really need a mod wheel. That just makes it easier. Controlling such features with your mouse is essentially modulation as well.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, I know all about that. :)
 
Aye, it's just a fancy name for real simple shite. :)
 
wikupload should work now. they seemed to have changed their download thing to entering a short string of numbers.

I synced ableton and my 606 to my tr 707 and did a short track. I routed the finished track through my mixer and back and got some really cool and weird analogue effects! i have no idea why it sounded like that this once. maybe has to do with recording it in 80BPm then speeding it up and ****ing with the wav abit.

sounds like something Aphex Twin would make. I don't care for that style of music, so I can't really rate yours fairly. Doesn't sound like amateur work though.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Not many people who like crazy ass electronic music, i'm glad you took the time to listen :)

Have my babies.

Your place or mine?
 
this is kickass.. I never knew you made this stuff, haij!

edit: the 1st one you linked is what I'm listening to now, and I think it'd be cool for an RTS game or something :) (DEFCON? hehe)
 
Your newest one is some good stuff. I don't know why but the melody that comes in (that's constantly filtering) reminds me of Fingerbib. Nice.
 
Loved the first and second song. In the first one, I was secretly hoping you'd introduce an awesome drum beat, but severely doubted it because of the peaceful nature of the song. But then you just blew my mind with that super heavy beat, out of nowhere, I was like "**** yeah!"
 
Dude, you have some awesome stuff here. The first one is my favorite and I was just thinking how awesome it would be for my 3D Demo Reel (hint hint).
 
thanks a ton guys lol. Krynn, i'm really flattered, knock yourself out man! :D If any credits wouldn't be too out of place I'd appreciate it, maybe even a link to myspace.com/derelic7 ?
 
I take back part of my last post, I didn't listen to the first one, it's awesome.

How long have you been doing this?
 
Thanks man!

Roughly 3 years, I think. It was back in 03 that I started playing around in Reason and began randomly pressing keys on the family piano.
 
How do I actually download the file? I can only get it to open in the browser.

And its going to be some time before I actually have a demo reel to put it with. Like a year and a half lol. Still, it would be awesome to have music not everyone has heard yet.

Im going to save it in a folder with your name in a text file so I dont loose it. Do you want me to put your real name in it? Or just link to the myspace page?
 
Wow... the first one is absolutely mind blowing. No exaggeration, either. This is high quality stuff. I hope to hear more out of you!

a track i made that i think is pretty beautiful. ableton exported it with too much reverb and shit, and i routed it through my mixer in an odd manner which really affected the sound, detuned it alot at more heavy parts but i think that's a pretty cool effect :) makes it sound like old tape
 
The second one made my ears hurt with the scratchyness of it. I'm not sure if it was a problem on my end or what, but now I'm listening to the third one and it sounds great. I've yet to check out the first one.

Good stuff.

I had great fun recording this one, I decided to try and route every ableton track into a separate track on my analog mixer to let it be mixed there, see if it does it better or anyhting like that, and it actually does imho! sounds much smoother in a sense. anyway, i recorded some guitar playing for this one (not the first loop you hear, it's later in the break). I also sampled some monologue off a porn movie :O

everything was looped then i recorded it, altered the faders and some settings via midi completely live and raw! much more fun way of making music than spending days sequencing shit. might sound better the other way of course, but whatever :D

its a bit long but time flies when youre looping stuff and i think the length is somewhat bearable.. i've noticed alot of ppl don't like really long tracks but i enjoy diving into a mood for more than just a few minutes.

tell me what you think folks!
 
Of everything posted here so far, I like the third track you posted on the first page. Only problem is that three-repeat of the bassline, it kicks my subwoofer into overdrive for some reason and murders the ears. As a result, a lot of the other stuff is drowned out.

Good stuff all in all though!

First one on this page is also good. I like the strings you've got going on it. Drum beat sounds kinda weak, namely because of the reverb. Sounds like it's from an 80's movie, and feels out of place with the rest. My personal opinion is that you can either rework that a bit for the more full, industrial vibe that I think you might have been going for (I'm thinking the Aphex remix of "Raising the Titanic") OR just do away with it and replace it with something more fluid to accompany the strings.
 
thanks man. yeah I was experimenting abit and the reverb was a result of ableton exporting the track in a way i didnt think it would, and i didnt save any of the wavs i recorded.. it's a bitch recording 8 minutes all over again so I just let it stay like it was, was fun for an experiment. The latest track sounds more like what i actually did when i recorded it, i placed reverb on the individual tracks rather than routing returns, somehow it doesn't work properly when you're sending your sounds out through individual channels.
 
Yeah, routing between programs/hardware is always tricky business. But it can pay off in nice ways (ie. running a Subtractor line into Ableton's Beatrepeat effect is something I love).

I'd love to get into it more, but it kills my laptop and everything freezes up. I got a fat ol' Ableton project file running all sorts of crazy shit between Reason, Ableton, and Rebirth. Not to mention all the VST instruments. But I can't run it for any more than ten minutes before it gets shot.
 
Yeah totally, i love having tons and tons of beat repeat instances on audio and beats and stuff with very low percentage of occurance and small filtered changes, making for tiny changes on the sound throughout the track, but it's a bitch on the system. my audio interface tends to slow down the system abit too.. i seriously need more RAM

I mean, you can always turn devices off as you're not using them but ****, i dont know anything that kills creativity more than having to do things like that. i guess that's abit why i'm keeping to a simpler sound atm, aside from just wanting to experiment and have fun
 
haha holy crap. Its a 12 meg mp3... how long is it?!

(no need to actually answer that, by the time you read this i will probably have downloaded it already)
 
somewhere around 8 minutes. if you manage to listen through all of it
 
dont have much time to make music nowadays, ive just moved into my own apartment, but heres a pretty short track that i like

http://www.ftp.nu/files/6034/

ive kinda decided to drop the 8 minute thing, its better to fit an idea in a shorter frame
 
Not the greatest you've done, but good anyway.
 
Crazyharij, are you derelic7 / dr. drumatix ?
 
no, i'm just an imposter posting someone elses tracks to get acknowledged by random people on the internet..

of course I am :D

are you impakt off teh wattem forums?
 
cool, i love your music man! I downloaded some of your recent electro tracks and they are absolutely delicious.
 
Thanks mate, I'll check out your semi-ambient one.
