slaQ's Original composed pieces of music.

[slaQ]

Hello everyone,

Since I bought myself a full range 88 key midi controller yesterday, I will be making some more serious musical pieces from now on,

and posting them in this topic.

Here's a first (be it short) song I created today.

I'm not sure if I'm just daft... but I can't see it.

Edit: Nevermind... I'm at work... so it's probably blocked. Derp.

Great work!!

Very good little song. My only complaint (this might be just a nitpick from my audio engineering past) is the recording quality. The overall recording is very good, but at times the sound is just a bit to heavy on the lower frequencies. But, I don't think it's anything that kills the track. Great work! can't wait to hear more

 

[King Galaxian]

Seriously, that song is SO EPICLY AWESOME! I wish you took requests, but I've already asked you for a lot in your shop, so I won't ask.

He doesn't take requests?

Oh well.

Yeah I know what you mean. I recorded the guitar at way too low volume, so I had to compensate with the compression and equalizer. I'm mastering it on kind of normal 5.1 pc speakers (logitech z5500),

so the result will vary somewhat based on what speakers you're using. Next time It'll be better I promise

@series and Genii

Maybe I will take requests, but for now I want to get familiar with my keyboard and my new vst's and what not. Try and make some actual complete songs for once

After that we'll see

DIBS! (Seriously though, just to pique your interest... What would you think about scoring an entire sci-fi adventure? Think Ridley Scott meets Edgar Allen Poe...)

@Genii

Solaris meets Alien, but without the Aliens, or what I THOUGHT the movie pandorum was gonna be, but it soon turned out it wasn't. Which sucked ass.

Well that's what you're describing sounds like to me at least Am I anywhere close?

PS: Benedict was a really cool badguy xD

 

[Genii Benedict]

Very loosely, yes. Pandorum, without teh suck.

Actually, throw in a bit of "The Matrix" (the good one) with the old 70's show, "The Starlost", and you're on the right track.

 

[slaQ]

Fortunately I was not alive during the 70's, however I looked it up, and I see how it would fit in there. Not sure how the matrix would fit in tho, I assume you do not mean bullettime, but rather alternate realities/universes.

I'm interested to hear some more about it, but better to continue thru PM or add me on skype or live messenger under either "senmetsu" or bor.walch@gmail.com.

I did listen on a few different monitor systems. I've definitely had the same issue many times when recording myself. I tend to avoid using compression on guitars unless necessary (Which in your case sounds like it was). Can I ask what your mic setup was on the guitar? Or was it purely DI through the line6 pod?

 

[RyanA]

Sounds great! As said, my only beefs is with the balance of the mix and recording quality. I look forward to hearing more stuffs from you :3

It's recorded directly through the PodXT. So no mic, well virtual mic settings in guitar rig.
