all tracks are sequenced and arranged by Ableton4 and for the mastering an SPL Vitalizer MK2 (+some nice mastering plugins ... we don't like Waves plugins, so no waves maximizers a.s.o. here !) the recording interface is an EMU1620M and the mixing board is a Mackie 1604 VLZ pro :wink:

Good music but i think the mixing is a bit rough.
:)

I was wondering when we were gunna hear a few of your tunes..

Not my style of tunes, but there's heaps I like about them though.

Your distortions are great - so warm and chunky, but not over powering. You said you are using Ibanaz, which ones? I've been trying to find a UE400 in good condition for about 10 months now. I haven't had enough experinece with the individual Ibanez pedals to buy them blindly, so I'd like to know which you use.

Great kick and bass sounds - Zweiter's bass end is very cool.

Like the fusion of the digital sounds.

All up nice work.

thank you :)


the Ibanez Overdrive is the first one they've ever produced - there are two versions available ... in this case you should watch out for the older one



the pedal on the left, with the "Roland-SH-styled" Overdive label is the older one (from 1976) it has the balace control in the middle and the tone on the right, it has been produced in japan - the one on the right is the newer one (produced after 1977 only) ... don't know wehre it comes from - but it sounds not as raw and dirty as the older one - this version has the balance on the right and the tone control in the middle.

And ever keep in mind, these old pedals (especially overdrives and distortions) have to be used with a 9V block, u can't use an adapter to power the AC jack (with analog gear a higher tone control produces a lot of noise while in full "wet" balance) ;)

Thanks for the info! Appriciate it. :D

EDIT: Just found a few of the older ones on the Japanese web-auctions. They aren't cheap at all are they!? 8O

Think I may have to keep an eye out on the 2nd hand junk shops instead. :cry:

Nice tunes. Some tracks have got that Sven Vath feel to it.

Is the SPL Vitalizer MKII hardware or software? I use to own the Mk I and it was the mutts nuts - if they have a software version I may just have to grab it!

@Hollowcell : they are very cheap when you compare the them to the famoust Ibanez tubescreemer series - think i paid about 40$ for mine :wink:


the SPL MK2 is hardware and it's a great tool, but don't call your MK1 mutts nuts - i have the MK1 as well and i'm using it to get more brilliance out of the my clavia micro mod ... just give it a try, get your out one and two of your virus through the MK1, than use the bypass switch to get an idea what this mutt nuts does to the sound :twisted:

Analogue,

German translation problem...

Mutts nutts = the dogs bollocks = very very good in English.
