By The Ocean - A Recording - BradoSanz
24th Jun 2015 22:53 - 11 years ago
Description : I went to the beach and set up my stereo recording mic under a gazebo near it (I apologize for some of the air gusts being recorded haha; we had a strong SE wind that day :P Tried my best to place it out of the wind); wanted to record myself playing live and do some cheesy roleplay in the process - wanted to make it feel like the listener was sitting there beside me. ** This is what the beach looks like: http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/80/south_padre_island_main.jpg **
Lo and behold, I'm about halfway through the song when my buddy Mark, a friend from college, heard me singing and decided to join me (he seems to never part with his guitar lol).
The expression on his face was that of confusion as to why I had my mic with me and a audio-capturing device, which I plugged into an outdoor electrical plug that the gazebo owners installed lol (I've done recordings like this before but didn't like the results; we messed up a little at the end but I was like meh it's not bad anyways.) but I'm glad he didn't say it out loud or it would have ruined the recording lol. Luckily, I was playing a song he and I wrote together some time ago, so he was able to just jump right in. He's a great guitar player.
Even though it was a little awkward at the end since we hadn't seen each other for like 4 months (you might be able to tell by the way I responded to his "thats so cool" comment haha), I think it turned out just fine. It was a lovely evening and the clouds were all poofy and happy. Lots of people were there too, though I made sure to sit far away from all of them. Ahh, it was a beautiful day. I'm glad I live by the ocean :P * Just kidding, I recorded this in my studio; though I do live close to the water, this was not recorded there :P I did everything, down to the wind blowing into the mic, except for the sound of water and the kids in the background. I got those sounds here: freesfx.co.uk/login/
The guitars and vocals were one-takes to give a more realistic feel. No pitch-correction or autotune. Just wanted to try making another soundscape (or whatever you want to call this :P) about what it's like to live by the ocean.

Description : Mindway and The Monzder Squadd go together like peanut butter and jelly man. This is our 4th or 5th collab, I think, but for this one, Pnnywze wanted to blend his and Mindway's production styles and see what happens. This is what happens.
NOTE - Shared this one yesterday before I realized that Rob Fame's verse at the end was messed up. So I'm sharing it with Rob's part cut out until my brother fixes it tomorrow.

The ambient track I finished tonight. Got some ideas just watching a movie.
I used a tiny fragment from a Paperkup's track - Bits of a piece.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.

The background sounds of the seagulls and your friends, just makes this track so much better. Like all of the songs I hear from you, this track has left speechless and very impressed. All in all great work man, and just keep them coming!
nice voice man!

I like the little trick you've played on many people here. It's almost a test of how much of a track description people can be bothered to read. This is almost the longest I've ever seen and mine tend to be reasonably long.
You've also fooled people because it does sound pretty accurate and realistic in terms of the recording scene you initially describe.
Congrats on a fun bit of soundtrack work.
Maybe you could do another one that's a bit more audacious.
So: I'm thinking you're supposedly out mountain climbing and you come across some guy and rescue him and then you both break into song.
Or, you get some guy hold you up in the street with a gun demanding you hand over your stuff. Then you break into a song he happens to like and then he joins in and lets you go because he likes you. Maybe you go to a bar for drinks.
Ideas to run with...

Amazing work man!

What mic did you use.
Your voice and mark`s voice sounds unbelievable together.
I have some tracks if you and mark would be interested.
Its not dance music but some other genres like rock and pop .

I really enjoyed this live acoustic recording and the one take. And also the background effects of the ocean and all.
You don't get the same feeling from a daw, that warmness and closeness as from a bond you have and create with a real instrument.
But a great simple piece that I faved!

really groovy song like the ambiance that the beach recording lends the breeze works for me
put me in a good mood for the rest of the day
the nearest beach to me is miles away
sounds really do draw pictures in the mind
very organic n effortless sounding
another fav hit :)
Sounds realy almost like live recorded on the beach.
I enjoyed the listen AND i enjoyed the description :)
I was a bit pissed of when i start listen to the track, cause i have some problems with work, or lets say better without work :) and i have to clear things and all went not the way i wanted ..... then i start the song and start feeling better ..... and at the end of the track my phone rings and a women told me that she wanna talk with me about a new job at there place ....... wow :) ...... if i get the job man, i will listen to this track again and again :)
stay tuned
joe
