It is also a play on guitar, bass and drums. <g> I hope you got some
healthy therapeutic venting out while recording it. :-)

The song wouldn't play on my Android phone. Listened to it just now on
my puter though and then "Around the Corner" came on immediately
following and I am now listening to that again as I type this.

No Soundclick App on my phone. Everything pops up with all your songs

You would think with a country with a population of over 320 million
people you could find at least a couple of candidates you could proudly

NOT!!!

As an Independent what am I to do? I guess write in Gman but he has
about as much of a chance of winning as those other two Johnson or Stein

This is Nurse Betty Kincaid serving as Mr. DR's intermediary. He has
been lights out for well over an hour and is currently being monitored
while being comafied until this *nasty* election is over and won't be
able to hand out any votes tonight. Sorry! I was instructed however

Yes indeed! I was tempting my DAW to crash by turning on close, mid,
and far room ambience, plus a channel called "chamber" and another
called "Sansamp". Chamber is a huge cave, and Sansamp is a crunchy
effect that adds definition to the attack.

Since drums are the one and only sampled instrument on this, I figured
what the heck and used 2079 MB of RAM for them. My kid was by last night
and said he's planning to upgrade his machine to 16GB of RAM, so I told
him that I'd buy the 8GB he's currently using when he does.

He also tested my song link on his Android phone, and it played first
try with no issues whatsoever, and he was using the mobile version.

In news:nvd41s$aud$1...@dont-email.me the killer robot "polymod"
So I made a test recording so you all could see what makes a HUGE sampled
drum kit, and how much difference it makes. The following bit starts out
with only the additional ambience channels I added to my normal Ludwig kit.

This includes ambience mid, ambience far, chamber, and Sansamp. My normal
kit has ambience close, so I omitted it for the first section of this test.

The second section is the whole drum kit with all ambience channels. This
is the full 2079 MB kit soloed.

The last section is the whole song, but with all the extra ambience
channels turned off, so it is like the kit I've been using for the last
year again, with only used 835 MB of memory.

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13476535

The end result is the added 1244 MB of ambience is cool, but it certainly
isn't needed to make the drums sound good, because I have the entire mix
running through a convolution reverb that puts artificial ambience on the
drums anyway. Since I can turn all that stuff on now due to running 64 bit,
I'll probably do it, but making the kit use more than twice the memory,
does not make the drums sound twice as good IMHO.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed. Keep the drums smaller and keep the headroom for the other stuff!

So which version of Komplete do you have? I see them ranging in price from
fifty bucks to as much as $1,649.00, and I'm pretty sure a lot of things in
there, I wouldn't use like amp simulators. The sampled content is what I
most likely would have more interest in, now that I can access more RAM.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have Komplete 9. I snagged it as a Kontakt "crossgrade" up to Kontakt 5.
NI lowered the price price right before they went to Komplete 10.
As a matter of fact, I think the price was just slightly more than the
Kontakt upgrade I was looking for. A good deal in my book.
Here's what it came with:

Battery 4
Session Strings
Solid Bus Comp
Solid Dynamics
Solid EQ
Transient Master

Well, for the Hell of it, I downloaded the free "Kontakt Player" and it's
free 650MB of "Factory Selection" sounds. A few of the sounds are usable,
so for being free I can't Komplain too much. I'm guessing the paid for
sounds are MUCH better. None of the free drums or percussion do much for
me, but then I don't record hiphop/urban stuff, and it's mostly stuff like
that. There is a pretty good clav and a couple nice world instruments, plus
a real decent upright bass. They weren't as generous with the free sounds
as Emu/Creative was with the free Proteus VX, but it's not made any longer,
where Kontakt still is a product in Native Instruments lineup.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I initially purchased Kontakt to use as a sampler for libraries I was
interested in.
That Kontakt 3 came with close to 40 G of content was a huge bonus. I still
use some of those sounds along with the massive library that came with
Kontakt 5.

I think the library is more geared towards folks who compose (or attempt to
compose) realistic scores with all the articulations, and the factory
libraries give one more than enough ammo to get started.
If you're not into that then it's mostly just fluff<g>

How do the strings and brass sound and play if all you were going to do was
play them yourself, and not use any of the special tricks with articulation
and that kind of stuff?

To be more concise, how do those sounds compare with these cheep 16 bit
sounds in "Hollywood Strings Silver" and "Hollywood Brass Silver" from
EastWest, and how playable in real time like this are they?

https://youtu.be/gZ6YucPT8oU?t=144

From this demo, it looks to me like this is some real playable stuff, ands
both the strings and brass together would only cost me $200 and only use up
a 23GB of my hard drive space. Strings and brass are primarily what I'm
after, since I already have the Native Instruments B4 Organ and FM7 along
with Tootrack's essential pianos. Strings and brass I only have crappy free
stuff that is mushy to play and could never do a string quartet to be in a
pop/rock song, and horns that could never do stabs and hits like Tower of
Power. So far I'm kind of leaning toward the EastWest Hollywood Strings and
Brass, mostly because at $99 a pop, I can realistically save up and buy one
of them, then save up and buy the other one, but also because the demos I'm
hearing of them are really getting me excited thinking about what I could
do with those sounds.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, judging from that vid, it was a simple staccato patch with no
keyswitching for different articulations, so I'd say they're as playable if
not better than what's in the vid. A lot is how the person playing is
articulating the notes. They taught us guys how to do that a long time ago
with the old Thomas Organs you'd see at the mall. Pull up a trumpet patch:
phrase like a trumpet player...etc.

I say if you're going to use them go for it.

Yeah, the stuff in that video is pretty straight up with no keyswitching,
although the mod wheel works in conjunction with velocity for cressendos,
but that's about it, plus these are 16 bit samples, which makes them cheap
in comparison to the "Gold" version which is 24 bit, includes lots of
articulations, and takes more than double the disk space.

Can you buy just the samples you want, with nothing else for Kontakt? IOW,
could I buy just the strings and brass and use them in the free Kontakt
Player I downloaded and installed last night? BobF posted a link that was
for Kontakt that included a 43GB library, but a lot of what I saw in it
included stuff like retro drum machines, urban loops, analog synths, Etc.

The main thing I would be interested in for Kontakt would be the Vienna
Symphonic Library Orchestra, but I don't see anywhere on NI's site that I
can buy it or any other individual sample sets by themselves.


Sure....you can buy whatever you want to use but I think that Vienna thing
is around 5 bills from Sweetwater.
If you're gonna do orchestral work like Steve Karl, than the expensive stuff
is worth it.
But if your going to do the music where the drums/bass/guits/and vocals are
up front, I can't see any reason why the lower priced stuff wouldn't fit in
the mix just as well.
I say use the cheap stuff first. If it don't cut it, then you can go for the
upgrade in quality.

<snip>

A string quartet backing up drums/bass/guitar is more what I'm thinking I
would use it for, along the lines of the strings in I am the Walrus. Horns
more along the lines of Tower of Power, Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears. The
cheap 16 bit Hollywood Strings Silver has both staccato and legato samples,
but I think you can't key switch them as one of the cripplings to get you
to buy the 24 bit Gold version. For me, I'd either be using one or the
other, and most likely the staccato set most often.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

One workaround is to have two instances using two separate tracks.
One containing the staccato articulation, one legato.

You sure you can't key switch them using a patch that contains all the
articulations?
Open the "keyboard" tab within Kontakt and see if there are any colored keys
toward the bottom lower notes. If there are, those are the key switching
keys.
Still, to me it's easier to have two separate tracks than to keep inserting
key switches in one. Just my .02.

Remixed this over the weekend. Had WAY too much highs and things weren't
as balanced as I wanted. Using all new 64 bit EQs, compressors, Etc.,
I had over done it both with EQ and with compression. This new mix has
more space than the last one, and doesn't bite so much on the highs.

All links worked on Mr. DR's Android smartphone Mr. Glennbo. Nice
having the Beach Boys singing backups on this. It sounded cool.

Thanks for checking them out. Hopefully these will start working for
iPhones too. So far, Max hasn't had a link work as expected on his.

> Nice having the Beach Boys singing backups on this.

Tanks Mon! I used a technique that a former band member who is now
deceased used to use for background vocals in the studio. It's only
three parts, but one is oblique motion, where the voice is stationary.
The other two are contrary motion, where the two voices move in opposite
directions. Then all three of the voices are doubled and finally panned
slightly opposite of each other on the soundstage.

> It sounded cool.

Thanks for listening! :-)

My pleasure Mr. Glennbo. Fascinating technique you describe in getting
the BG vocals. I almost thought the Beach Boys were right there in your
studio on surf boards in the flesh with wet suits or rash guards on of
course.

I will be bringing Mr. DR out of HIS/ours self induced coma after the
election results. So hopefully I will begin reducing the dosage of
propofol, and pentobarbital very late tomorrow night and hope we don't
have anything like the election of 2000. Of course I would then have an
extended period of work. This job as nurse has been a piece of cake with
lots of OT too.

Poor guy couldn't handle the political climate.

Sorry I'm late - I was away for a few weeks ;-)
I like this a lot - even though it has words! ;-)
I like the words, and I like the tremolo guit feel, and the solo parts.
Drums sound real good too.

good tune.
