i had hoped for a kinder, gentler butterfly effect. but perhaps my frame of mind during the 'Tang' process did not permit it. I ended up with the 'aluminum winged butterfly' or just say the 'iron butterfly'! The track became something harder, edgier than I had imagined.

But I am happy if I conveyed someething of the butterfly's perspective on her world. Thanks for your listen and considered comment mr. wolf.

Thank you very much mr wolf 14. I used "spicy guitar plugin 32-bit" and I added fruity reeverb to this plugin.

It does sound very devo-bot, does it not?! Honestly this seems like so long ago... but who am I to judge?! Thank you for the respect, my friend!

Hey MrWolf, thank you very much for your kind words they are greatly appreciated, I like to play guitar and will do more of it in future tracks..be over to check your page very soon, thanks again mate! cheers Dave :)

Thanks. My favorite part is your awesome bass.

Hey Domenico,
nice to read something from you.

Good to know that you think that i don't make boring stuff
and also nice to know that you could enjoy, in a way, the observers to this track.

When i was working on this one i had the idea to mix the english and german parts every line but the sound of this two different parts are to different (in my ears) and so i did it in that way you found it here.

And, not you have to thank me that i share this stuff with the comunity, i have to thank you and the rest of the comunity that you take some time and listen to my kind of music.
Comments like yours are the reason why i share my art.

So thanks a lot for your kind words.

stay tuned
joe

Hey man, thanks for listening and the suggestions. Yeah sax is hard to emulate but I quite liked the one in this even if it is not obviously real! Glad you liked it though :)

Domenico... you are definitely not insane my friend. your one of the sanest people I know here! Demon disco at it's finest. This song is really a test to make sure you haven't had a stroke!
Steve

Oh hi my friend! :)
Happy to be back and read from you here & there!
You're right Domenico, this sounds real awkward with these too different parts. I should've worked more on it but I'm so in love with that beautiful song.
Daccordo mi amico, I'll upload more thingies asap.
Take good care,
Kiss & hug,
Carole

Hello Domenico!

Good to see you again.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, I truly appreciate your support.

I must say that I totally transformed the original 'Premonator' to something entirely new but I didn't expect it will turn into something like that as I worked with given material experimenting a lot, I mean: there is an autotune hard processing on vocals and my arrangement is very different from Spivkurl's version (it will be published at some point if the future as well!). I am still learning how to record real synthesizers (I've used Roland JunoDi and Arturia Microbrute exclusively for creating all instrumental parts of this song). I didn't actually use any of 'epiano' sounds but a combination of acoustic piano and string pad. For now I am still by presets but I think I should find more time to create my own patches soon. I will be definitely expanding my synth sound in the future.

I am happy you liked the song. Thank you again.

Best, Alex

I appreciate it very much, Domenico.

Guitars are all real, but there is synth in here in the verses. Thanks for the listen and your thoughts.

Take care.

Evan

Thanks for listening.
I think you're right about War Pigs ... just me getting a bit to adventurous I think.

Thanks for the kind words. The drums were actually dubbed from my keyboard. It took a lot mixing to create a real drum sound. I couldn't find a proper slow 6/8 blues drum loop so I just settled for the keyboard drums.

Lobos-Tesseradecade.

"the "guitar version" of your bass sound"

I do not have any guitar effects or anything like that. I have my Line6 Bass PodXT Live and that's it. That may explain the tones, but yeah, It's still my playing and I pretty much just to layered lead lines.

"I don't like the marimba"

Understood. I like the way they bring a happy vibe to whatever I put them in. I see how people would not agree though.

Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Evan

Thank you very much Domenico ! I'm really glad you liked this one...much appreciated!:)

So see ya at part 2...:)

Hello, Mr W.

Sorry for the slow reply - I haven't been using the site much this week.

Only Evisma really knows what the title is about. It's a fun one I didn't come up with but borrowed from someone else on the site.

Yes, nice opads in the intro and then we get some lead bass backed by programmed hip hop drums. Hip hop does have drums exactly like that. I'm using the Hip Hop EZX there, which I've used a lot in the last 6 months. Probably not really your sort of drum EZX but I like it.

"Bass riff ~2:12 is a good one"

If you listen closely, you can hear that lots of the bass guitar parts are layered so sometimes two lines playing either the same thing or sometimes quite different things. And there's often synth bass underneath too as my low end from my bass guitar these days is really bad (must get it fixed or buy another one).

"I like the "muted guitar chords" ~4:00"

That's a VST guitar with various effects on it that I use quite a lot in this. I like it.

""synth" bass ~4:50" seems to be popular with other people as well. A powerful sound.

" Clever use of the delay ~6:20"

Yes - I knew I needed some sort of key change or new chord progression. Lots of delay on the guitar part and I like the way it moves higher.

"Killer bass riff ~6:50 (simple but effective)."

That's only there as a way of giving the listener a rest from all the lead work and as I prepare to move into the next section.

"7:50 we get a change in the pace"

Yes - there's a drumless break and then some fast sort of psychedelic jazz (now that I've changed key). Listen to the drums and you can hear they're hip hop ones.

"And now a nice "relaxing section"

Chillout lead bass guitar work to go with the trippy vocal synth part.

I will go back and try to make the "distorted guitar part" (not guitar, just bass) longer. Valvedriver thought the same thing and I kind of agree.That might be the coolest part in the track.

"Dreamy synth pads"

Maybe I will make that section shorter so not return to the same intro.

Thanks for the 9.5. I wonder what I would have to do to get a 10, or if I ever have. If so, I wonder which track you think is a 10.

Thanks again, take care.

merci pour cette ecoute et le com domr

Hey Dom

Mate thank you for a great in-depth review of this one, listening back to it again just now, agree the bass not meshing well (or could be better) with the beat, plus couple of other elements could combine better, will look at this one again in the near future, but not just yet, if going back to it too soon will stuff track up, something I don't want to do, which I seem to do lately :(
Killed hundreds of decent tracks trying to make them better, so now learn to give some breathing space before going back to look at them, again many thanks friend, so much appreciated...Peace n Respect...Mos...

Thanks so much, Domenico. Always a pleasure to hear your thought. I appreciate your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

So glad you like it, Domenico, and took time to let us all know. We really appreciate it.

Ciao,
M.

Greetings!

"- not so fond of the "muted" notes played in the intro, would like them to sound differently (more fx maybe?)
minor thing, they are not very loud in the mix"

Are they a bit clunky sounding? I don't think there is a single effect on them so I can see what you mean. I'll mess with them a bit, and bring them forward more.

"- the intro (up to 0:55) is lacking some "deep freqs"; the bass in this section is a bit thin (maybe this is exactly what you wanted to get)"

I believe that I still have the "scratch" bass track in there. It was meant to be built around, then replaced, but I see now that I forgot and got used to the sound. Thank you for hearing that, I intended to replace it,... and now I will.

"the guitar is always clean yet the result is a rock song"

I can't get any distortion that I like. Everything sounds cheap and tinny or buzzy or like a synth. I need meaty chunkiness, and I get skinny zingy sounds. I'll need some tube preamping, at least that's my plan!

Take care.

Evan

Mrwolf14 There is always a need for a good bass player. Thank you for the positive feed back on my guitar work and the song.

My03 really out did himself on this one. He is such a talented musician. This is no offence to anyone here.

Talk care and I hope all is well with you and your family.
