Finally a new song idea!!! X50/Lecto

[onqel]

I rarely find the time to sit down and write music now adays, but I got some time today and wrote something a little different from my usual stuff! (It still sounds like my stuff though)

lots of pianos and orchestral stuff ..

onQel - Lights off
update: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1369729/MP3/onqel%20-%20Lights%20off5.mp3

It's very short (I didn't have THAT much time..), but I would like some input on it anyway <3 <3 <3 ...

 

[Nuno Filipe]

Really good idea! Sounds very good. But why use X50? It sucks!

 

[onqel]

I can't afford commercial stuff so I need to make and use my own sims (LePou won't even let me use the Lecto .. I used it against his will)

 

[Wyldechyld]

Sounds good! Nothing else to say really..

 

[LeSedna]

There is an horrible pump or something strange in the overheads around 0:39

I like this piano. I integrates well in the image.

 

[Derpsicle]

Fucking awesome!
Love the tone and the song

 

[onqel]

Thanks!
I used the X50 for the main guitars (100/100) and Lecto for the palm muted stuff in the beginning (75/75) .. gonna finish this song, now that I know it's acceptable

We should write music together if we both had more free time. I'm loving this.

Yeah we should, we'll get time eventually

I've done a little more to it .. I hope it doesn't sound too Dimmu Borgir'ish ..
Fuck, I suck at transitions .. and riffs in general

[OneDaySky]

Sounds Great Ongel

 

[XnaySaturo]

:O More info on the snare and kick? Sounds absolutely fantastic.

 

[onqel]

I used the andy sneap kick/snare samples .. with a bit post-editing ..

btw, The latest update has Cinematic Strings instead of EWQL

 

[onqel]

fuck me, I can't finish this song! I'm totally empty inside and I can't write music or do dsp-programming at all..
I barely have the motivation to flush the toilet when I'm done.. Damn I hope this will pass when I've finished the notice period (got a job on a ship again..)

I will send a picture of me naked in different poses to the person that has a tip that could help me finish it

edit: latest attempt here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1369729/MP3/onqel%20-%20Lights%20off6.mp3

 

[Widekmusic]

Great Job Onqel, as always

 

[reg3n]

cool stuff, i like the song, and this i'm gonna say comes out of my musical taste: i'd lower the synths, i think it's gonna be totally hearable even taking away a considerable ammount of gain, but of course, you might just want it like that, i like the complex feel of your music

 

[jauernis]

Love it love it love it!!!

The part with the orchestra strings is a little loud (the strings) seems it would fit better a little lower. The solo I dig but I know you and I think you can get a little more feeling out of it. Nothing wrong at all with your solo right now but I just know you have something more epic in your fingers!!

 

[onqel]

widekmusic: thanks ..

reg3n: thanks for your input, still it's just a quick mix to get a better overview while I record I will keep in mind your synthofobia hehe

jauernis: thanks Stephen, regarding my lead : my creativity and my love for creating music has been on vacation for a while, and still is.. I can still mix stuff for you if you send me something to work with though
