funky7 - i like this, and i like surprises, but that vocal drop is a bit too surprising for me - it's not so bad the second time round when you're expecting it ;-)
i like the simple organ tone you've used, and the breaks sound tight but could be louder imo, or maybe just lowering the level of the vocal would fix it is the distortion on the bassline intentional? i think it would be better if it was clean myself. overall nice track, i think you should stick at it and polish it off. only love - wasn't really into this one first time round but it's growing on me now i've heard it a few times - i think it's the cowbell and 1/16 hihats that i really dislike, i'm into the tune as a concept. i'd change the breaks and then see how it sounds... keep it frosty, mattrick www.sequential-recordings.co.uk forthcoming on Formula Inc: FINC002: genetic sequence - urthe1 / urthe1 Miracle RMX HQ - deep chilled beats and cutting edge breaks, last sunday of the month @ bar baby, oxford * ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Lankester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 5:12 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Another new tune-ette Hehe.. Yeah, I like Calibre but he knocks out too many tunes to keep up with!! ;) The way I work with accapellas at the moment is to recycle them but not affect the pitch (in recycle).. Play them in Reason and change the pitch on Dr.Rex to get the timing right.. Then use Steinberg's Vocal Designer plugin on that to reset the pitch to whatever (in fact it works quite well with any sound).. It's not a pretty way of doing it but it's practical!.. The chipmunk effect was slightly intentional! (although I try to avoid it where possible!).. ;) OK, cheers! Comparisons to Calibre are always gonna get me motivated!! (even if it's only a little bit).. I'll work in it more and see what I can come up with!! Thanks again, Nick -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

Filter sweep it, and screw around with the velocities, etc. The drop is a bit sudden. The breaks are pretty tight (sounds like Calibre's remix of Dylan and Ink). I'd try to speed up the vocals without chipmunking them. You can do that by using Recycle on the vocal samples and then writing triggers by hand for the samples (using Dr. Rex, if that's your thing). Kind of a cool track. Listen to LOTS of Calibre, and I think you'll get it going in the direction you want. b ===== Brian J.
