What did you use to create the soundscapes? |
Thanks man! We really appreciate anyone taking the time to lend an ear.
That's really weird about the download though. if you want, send me your email in a PM and I'll send it to you personally.
That's actually a really hard question to answer... It really depends on which track you're talking about. For example, the backdrop for 'New Man' was achieved with a pad on a Korg Triton rack unit and mangled in the Ableton Live. Then a single bass stab from a patch in Reason 4's Thor module was run through several delays. Samples from field recordings I made throughout the recording process were then layered on top of that. Acoustic bass, piano, and Virus were then layered. A track like that was very much composed in the computer.
On the other hand... The soundscape backdrop for KRH was actually achieved by throwing about five bucks in quarters into my dryer then recording that and applying massive amounts of reverb. Our engineer and I originally wanted to record the compressor on my refrigerator churning away, but once the mic was placed and the big red button was hit it shut off. After a phone call to the Maytag support line and some serious "***" responses by operators and repair people we decided to try something else. If you listen carefully you can also hear me dropping things into the inside of my piano (very carefully I might add).
It's kind of disgusting how much time we spent on the detail of some of this stuff...
