this is very nice piece of work. the echoes of pink
floyd's "sheep" (or
is it "pigs" ?) are nice and clear (next thing you'll say: "i've
never
heard that").
Thank you very much :). I started this tune as a clear
reminiscence of « one of these days » and I know very well the « animals »
album even if I didn't had it present on my mind.
my main complaint would be that the drums, although
the
actual sounds are nice, sound too wooden for this style of music in many
places. i am not sure what you need to do to improve it - its mostly the
rolls across the set of toms that are a problem to my ears.
the harp-ish is a very nice tone - zyn i would imagine ? i would maybe
try to find a richer string pad sound for the whole piece if you have
the MIDI available. the one you picked is a bit anemic, and could use a
little more menace.
I will take care of these advices, which are of a real help for
me. The problem is that I'm really not easy with non « wooden » percussion
sounds... The first harp is a sample of a harp, and the other sound is a
mix of Guzhen and Luan samples. Zyn produces only part of the pad, and I
realize it could effectively be richer.
thats my US$0.02 ... glad to hear that ardour and
these other tools are
working for you.
Great thanks to you and the software developpers, especially
Robert Jonsson, who provide real tools for working, and for making all
these software free (as in free speech, not free beer :) ).
