Thanks for your nice words, you all. Encouraging!
Actually this was the first serious project I (we) did with Cubase and Pulsar, therefor I did not use any Pulsar synth or sampler.
I just used the bigmixer and lots a plugs like delays and Master Chorus etc.
Have more trust and respect now for the Pulsar-Creamware qualities.
Also Cubase had a big deal in mixing, with many fx, eq and stuff like the Orange vocoder, NorthPole, LM4, GRM tools, etc.
Paul and I said to each other, this song can only get somewhere if it sounds good.
We think it's hard to put it in any today style, so it had to sound good on it's own, to have a chance.
That's why it has that mixing sauce, due to extremely intensive eq-ing, precisely placing the stuff in the deepness in mix, etc.
And still I'm not satisfied, coz something went wrong with the track with the bounce of all the ridm parts, to far away in the mix now.
I tried today to compress and limit (Waves) that track, amazing difference!
I learned sub-mastering
Sounds mutch steadier now, I will push up the drive bass synt a bit to compensate, the track will get mutch better when masterd I think.
But hey we will not post this mix for the third time, I promise.
If you have any concrete question about the mix, I will tell you exactly what we did.
About some instruments:
The guitar like lead part is made by combining the Kurzweil K2500 sampler/synthesizer and the Access Virus-A..
We didn't use the Kurzweil as sampler.
We just took the preset Matchstick and combined this with a spinet like Virus sound, for the ringing noise around the notes of the simple Matchstick sound.
The ridms are build around a simple but fat breakbeat loop.
Some percussion samples (in the mac)
and little fragments from a djembe loop are used as fills.
The voices are coming from The World of Afrika cdrom, but heavily cutted and processed with eq and fx (dist, delay, etc).
Thanks again, h.
