interesting.... ominous yet strangely sensuous. strong production quality
about 90% of it was made entirely in Garageband, without loops.

I had fun twisting the knobs on my space echo while mixing this one live on an old MCI console that came out of Sigma sound in Philly. I'm kind of over all the stuff I've done now, but am going back into the studio in a few weeks with a new line up.
It's kinda punk-ish. I played bass on this track.

For those doing your music making with your computer I have a question suggestion. Do you ever use external effects to treat your sounds? A lot of computer made music sounds almost too good/clean to me. Sometimes its cool to process sounds with things like guitar pedals, pods or standalone effects boxes. Being a guitar player I have a lot of this stuff lying around. Its a lot of fun to run my keyboard and sampler through a distortion pedal, pod, analog delay, phaser whatever's handy really. There's something about the extra noise etc. that seems to give things more grit, weight and character than using only plug ins. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else likes to mangle sounds as much as I do.

in fact this has been an area that i have been considering,
for example when i had a turntable i recorded some *gasp* analog, actual, vinyl scratches/spinouts instead of just pulling them off samples
also for example several months ago i picked up a roland juno 60
but for various reasons such as cost, weight, setup, cabling, 'hassle', i have not been able to get into the analog scene as much as i once wished, and also i have been chasing that 'trance sound' seeing if i can get it purely within reason2.5/abletonlive4...
( edit: for this 'trance sound' i find that i get the grittiness i want by overloading/distorting within ableton live, something happens when you distort reason/rewire-generated 'clean synth' sounds in that mystical floating-point space in ableton's algorithms... )
i have left australia for a while, and my juno60 is with my ex-housemate. hope he's giving it a shot every now and then, in any case, it's probably impressing the ladies in his bachelor pad--- the old, wow, you're like a musician?! allure
trick fall, what is your recording setup? does the analog mangling go back into digital, if so what is the digital setup, otherwise, does the analog mangling go into analog tracks, if so, what is the analog recording setup?
cheers

My Lexicon PCM91 is something I'd never give up, no matter how much I love some of my reverb plugins.

Nothing wrong with that! I have an older mac with a motu 2408 that gives me multiple analog ins which makes this easier to do, but lately I've just been using the analog in that comes on the G5. I also usually run my cheap yamaha synth through effects and a cheap mic pre before going in to the computer. You can get a lot of different sounds with a few cheap guitar pedals. I record into Digital Performer and don't really use the sequencer. I make my own loops on an Ensoniq ASRX and sequence them there.
I don't really have any of my electronic tracks finished yet, its pretty hard to get the time between being in a band and working full time, but if I get anything halfway mixed I'll post it.
Have a weekend of recording ahead of me to track a heap of midi and backing-vocals, then its on to mixing and mastering yay!!!

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it!
On this track, the lead guitar used the distortion built into the amp. The vocalist used a slight chorus effect built into his PA head which then went direct into my TASCAM. I went direct from my bass into my TASCAM. Everything else (2 guitars, drums) was mic'ed.s
I like analog effects better than the digital stuff too, at least from what little effects processing I've fooled around with. I'm not sure why either. I like tube preamps and amps better than solid state as well because tubes give a warmer, less sterile sound.
