Hello Gabbe! Nice music. Deep 7 gives me a kick of reminiscing over the 90s. Although perhaps even a few years after my time of being really into 90s music. Pulse KLAR has much more 2000s feeling to it. Maybe because of the chosen sounds. I think I heard quite a bit of these pulse/square wavey sounds in recent years and the drum sounds rather fit the bill as well. I don't know, why I really like them, perhaps it's the Skandinavian atmosphere, the touch of nothern hands and ears. :-) It is rather heavily compressed, but especially for Pulse KLAR this works very well. At the same time in that song it sometimes does harm to the arrangement. When the tambourine came in, I had the feeling, that it could have done with a highpass filter or a higher cutoff frequency, since I suspect, you already used some HP filtering. The bass doing so much in the way of stereo movement later on is not very compatible with the compression. It muddles the piece a great deal. I like the effects applied to the bass as well as to the other instruments, but the bass would have been better of in the middle or the compression taken down at the "bass solo". At the beginnig of Pulse KLAR I had the feeling - for an instant -, that this song brought back nostalgia of old Atari and Amiga times. Which synths did you use to record these? You mentioned Hydrogen in a way of sequencing, I suppose this also included the samples being played by hydrogen? What were the other synths involved? Software or hardware? Which compressor did you use, it sounds very well suited to achieve, what I call the American sound, as found in some of the recent Britney Spears materials from the Femme Fatal album. It is really a very close fit. Yes, it's all of that, which makes the sound, but the bahviour of the compression struck me, when I listened to it. I suppose it can be reached with any odd well-written compressor, yet no harm in asking. :-) The drumkit, that you used: Is that something, one can easily lay hands on? I mean the kit used for Pulse KLAR. It seems much of that mail has been busy with Pulse. perhaps because of the negative criticism put into it, while maintaining, that I still like it a lot. :-) Hm, maybe here's another one for Deep 7: What did you use to process and trigger the voice samples?
