unlock (minimal tech)

Post by buzby » Mon May 24, 2010 5:51 am

download -

mp3 http://rcpt.yousendit.com/884517463/e0d ... e060ca03a6

and http://soundcloud.com/buzby-b/unlock-buzby

(EDIT - there are new links later in the thread)


this is the first track that i ve got to a mix down and master stage that i am happy enough to put it up as a first track

the track started as a few sampled zebra synth parameters, which were not intended to be the start of a track - i was just trying out the zebra - i didnt save the zebra presets and i found the audio files were more difficult to work with to get the sound i was after, than if i'd have been able to tweak the zebra parameters.

i had a nightmare with the bass and its still boomy (it was one of the zebra samples) - also the studio room im in is a bit boomy

im well aware of of a lot of things that are "wrong" in a track and but in a nutshell - the track has been sitting on my laptop for 2 years, messed with it every now and then a lot over the last month -
even though there are things that need fixing im at at point over over doing it - so time to to stop - maybe a couple of years down the road i ll give it a face lift

the soundcloud file does nt translate well over laptop speakers so best to download it and listen on your stereo

basically im quite happy with the feel of the track

feel free to be brutally honest ….

…hmmm… wait for it, wait for it :wink:

I like it :D

I can't see the industrial side of it, though... (when I see the tag "industrial", I'm waiting to hear some more harsh and rude and metallic stuff in it) but nevermind, I like it like that!

cheers

I'd like some, I have a radio show next saturday, and I'll play "unlock", but if you got more...

hey man

glad you like the track - this is the only one that i finished to date - infact i'm gonna take the track and strip it down and polish it up - the bass needs a huge fix and i ended up putting too much compression and limiters on a lot of audio spikes and it has kinda taken away some of the sharpness of the song

the industrial tag .. well .. did nt really know how to describe it - i guess the industrial is because of the metallic sounds ...

but thanks for offering to play it on the radio - hoping to have more stuff finished this year

cheers

thanks very much

- im in the process of fixing some things especially the bass but have already found that im really in danger of over doing things and will have to get to a point where i say its finished and see it as a learning experience

having so many problems with spikey audio - anyways - hopefully a slightly better version of it will be ready by the weekend
