Is Everybody Happy Yet? - 280314

...yeah, I know...;-).

Still can't get my head around tracking guitar/bass (maybe next week...), so I decided to start a brand new track based on various VST plugins.

Programmed various MIDI parts in CE5 using the Yamaha DX100/Phonic Firefly/Texture 1.2 Shifting Sands/ DSK xXx reset/Minimogue VA Voyager Brain Salad. Edited the various parts.

I plan to track the VST plugin parts to audio to give me options for dubbing. But that's a job for another day.

All came together very easily.

Knackered after my trip to Lisbon, but that's a First World problem for sure...;-).

The Book Of Passwords/Tropes and Memes - 170114

Sponsored by "Shock Me".

Still not feeling great today, so I decided to do some more experimental stuff with VST plugins.

THE BOOK OF PASSWORDS

This is a very simple Delia Derbyshire-esque moody interlude. I programmed one MIDI part (DSK xXx Reset) in CE5 using the Roland Juno-D and the Phonic Firefly. Messed about with a few insert effects. It's pretty much ready to mix and master now. Didn't take long, as you can guess...

TROPES AND MEMES

This was a little bit more involved. Used the following VST plugins:-

• Cosmogirl 2 - The Cosmo Girl
• FM8 - Almost Transparent Blue
• Prologue - Forum Romanum (very impressed with that yesterday - must remember not to put the two tracks in close proximity on the final album).

I also recorded an audio metronome track, but I'm probably not going to use it.

There's space for bass and guitar in this track., Somewhere.

More work tomorrow, hopefully...
