if you go to the link all three songs ( with vocals ) were recorded only on the fantom g and x by me.

"second skin" and "so pure as you" were all recorded on the fantom g. "dont stop the beat" was recorded on the fantom x

Hi !

I regularly read this forum, but it's my first post. I'm a french amateur musician,and, as you know, french people are very bad with foreign languages, so...

I own a G8. It's my first workstation, and I really love it. I composed some songs *only* with it (no computer and other gear), except, of course, a microphone ;-) (having a phantom power supply is a GREAT function !!!)

These are french songs, really more amateur than amadeusvk's or johns's work, but, as it is another style of music, maybe it coud give other ideas of what can be done with the FG.

As it is first a "personal pleasure", and so not necessary very interesting to listen, I noticed some specific points for each song:


1- La falaise: Nothing (but I love the guitar sound used for the introduction)

2- Hors jeu: I used a multisample -imported from Akai- during at about 2:30 (the solist voice)

3- Vers le soleil: I used up to 5 audio tracks on the last chorus. No slowdown in the FG use.

4- Une étincelle: the longer, but probably not the more interesting song. You can pass it

5- Peur du noir: I wanted to do a song to highlight EP songs, because I love them. Missed, we remember electric guitar sounds. I also use a "phone effect" (with build-in MFX) at 2:30

6- Toujours et à jamais: the drum track is recorder in audio mode from an arranger keyboard

7- La machine: The more "electronic" song. But it is very far from techno... See the instrumental case at 2:10

8- La lettre: I like this song, but there is nothing special to say.

9- Une seconde: It's the first song I recorded, with my first workstation, so, of course, for me, it has a special taste. The "clock" sound is a WAV file, with a very light time-streaching

Yes jhashe!
"Une étincelle" - Vocalist (Vocoder) or live singing back vocal?
"Hors Jeu" - female vocal - sample? I like that! If not to big, my mail is amadeusvk@ne.hr ;-)

Johnc, how you record "DSTB Final cut" ??!

This is probably a mistake, LOL, but...

I uploaded a demo song, a few weeks back, of a new original of mine, called "Beautiful Ways"

First song on the music player. You can find it here:

http://www.myspace.com/southernmischiefband

First, the obligatory excuses...

- It was only the second song I tried to record on the G
- I was probably too anxious to see whether my friends and fans were digging the vibe of this song, so I didn't spend any real time tweaking levels. This will be clear. LOL
- I also let the drums play through, without fills, intros, outros, etc... I was too lazy to program them myself that day. :-)

And once, again, it was only a demo to express a style of music, and see if the fans wanted more of this style of songs. Neverthless, it got great feedback. While you are listening you can click the "lyrics" link on top of the player in case the words are hard to understand.

Meanwhile, I have learned ALOT from Dan's great videos and others, as well as what I have learned in the forums here, so I look forward to re-doing this song, and uploading several more in the coming weeks. The quality of my recording has gotten better already, in only a few weeks. If anyone is interested, I'll post a blurb when I upload some new stuff.

Enjoyed the songs you guys posted!

Hello,

All is "live singing back vocal", but I added more effects than on lead vocal (essentially more reverb and some chorus)

For all vocals, I used the same way:

Recording with compressor active
Adding a limiter on the mix (MFX)
Activating "global compressor" when recording -all recorded using the resampling function-. This is a GREAT functionnality !

"Can you just email me the female? LOL ;-) "

Sorry, but impossible to sample her with the Fantom G.
Another bug ;-) ?

LMAO!

Now THAT is a bug that should have top priority! :-)


And btw...

Thanks, you guys, for the kind words (on MySpace) on the song "Beautiful Ways" and the other songs that were mentioned.

For the guy who couldn't find the Lyrics button - LOL - Here you go brother...

Beautiful Ways © 2009 Craig Maxim

She doesn't need, romantic walks in the park
Takes me to the cemetary, just before dark
Stands there reading names, of the lives cut short
What would they become, if the world wasn't so
hard?

Doesn't need religion, to make her feel a part
Says she loves Jesus, and a sacrifical heart
Believes that life's a journey, to find out who we are
And all of it's scars, are the interesting parts

----------------CHORUS ----------------
She's different - She's unusual - She's strange
She's a woman - And she drives me insane
Oh... With her Beautiful Ways
-----------------------------------------------


Keeps me up for hours, playin' silly games
Runs out in her sleepy pants, to catch the fallin' rain
Takes down her hair, while she's playin' in the wind
And studies your secrets, with a curious grin

( Chorus)

Lately I've been wondering, Just what my life would be
If suddenly I found myself, Without her melody

That sweet sustain...
Baby please don't change

Be different, Be unusual, Baby be strange
Cause you're the woman - That drives me insane
Oh... With your Beautiful Ways

She drives me insane
Oh... With her Beautiful Ways
