silvercn,
sorry for taking so long to get back here
I moved and I had no home internet for almost a year...
Also , I had no idea that anyone had listened to this sonic monstrosity of mine lol after my thread went cold.
Yes I did play every note on this except for the drums ...
( i used midi, edited the patterns and rendered to audio via a vst drum plug)
All my parts were played in real time at the songs tempo...
I started this song / soundscape on my Mac ...
over there I used Logic Pro 9 to work out my ideas ..a lot of the synths I used are sounds I created from what I have available in Logic
the main instrument that I am the most comfortable expressing myself on is guitar ...
on my Mac I have a plug called Midi guitar from Jam Origin and that is what I used to trigger all my synth sounds via the guitar ..it's aGreat Plug
( I only have a license for Mac & if I ever have the bucks I will get the Win version )
Once I had a skeleton of my song worked out I brought all my tracks over to the windows side and worked in SONAR 6 PE in XP ...
in SONAR I added all my guitar parts , played a real Bass guitar (4 string)
and did all my editing / dialing my sounds to taste ....
At that time I also had X3 PE 64bit in W 8 ....I couldn't use it ...
it was too new to me at the time
While I was working on this song I picked up the then current version of Mixbus V2.5 (? )....
I love what Mixbus brought to the table sonically for the sounds I'm looking to do musically....
As far as what type of routing I used for this tune , I would have to tell you honestly that at the time I was very new to Mixbus and I didn't know how to route...( back then )
all I did was I took each and every track in my SONAR project and exported them as individual tracks ...once i had the whole song as individual tracks I created a project in Mixbus and imported each and every track and created a Mixbus session of my song / sounscape...
Right out of the gate I was happier w what I was hearing so what I did was I played around w each tracks eq and compression levels so i dialed my tune in w out sending anything to the buses ....
at the time i didn't know how to do that lol
I did use the Mastering Compressor ...I love that and it may have helped
this song has its moments ...I know it's not all there and happening , yet I feel there are a few sections that may shine ....I do happen to like the section you like ..
thank you for taking the time to listen and posting your comment ...
Welcome to the forum , I think I'm gonna be around more ....now that I have home internet and Mixbus 3
all the best ,
Kenny
