Some of my KX powered Tracks for you.

horsesarevermin · Jun 10, 2005, 10:53 AM

Hi,

I've been happily using the KX drivers for a few years now and they are the greatest addition to my PC! However I've only recently started viewing the forums, and I must say that I've enjoyed listening to everybody's tracks that have been posted.

I thought that I would bite the bullet and face my my shyness, so here is a link to a purevolume site I have set up with some of my kx recorded tracks.

As much as possible I try and get the feel of a band playing on my tracks rather than the reality of me multi-tracking at home.

It's nice to be a great company here on these kx forums, I look forward to making contact with some of you folks in the future!

Anyhow, enjoy the tracks , any comments would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Tom

Cool music - song 1 sounds a bit like early works of "The Cure" to me. Nice! Song 2 is very well mixed and with nice fx. Thumbs up! Song 3 is also cool - hey, a voice... and a flute... nice!

[color=black]Thanks for your very kind comments. I really do appreciate the works of the Cure (1979-1982), so your post was very flattering. Cheers also for your positive remarks about the mixing on track 2. I've got a melody line and some rough lyrics for that song, so with any luck a completed version will be posted shortly. [/color]

[color=black]Your other post regarding a KX User sample CD is a fantastic idea. I would certainly like to contribute - as long as that is alright with you![/color]

hey tom, ive missed this thread for some reason. sorry

youre doing well, good strong songs great melodies etc

song 1 mixed well, nice drums (esp like the off beat rhythm.. i would though as i am a drummer at heart!

) really strong tune. it feels like it needs a melody line and good strong vocals though. it feels like the song is a great backing track waiting for this to finish the song off, do you see what i mean? i'm saying that becasuse i like the song alot.

just to say that I'm terrible at melodies and vocals which is why none of my songs have them either so i cant really talk can i!!

song 2- yep the same,... good song. well put together.... esp liked the mid 8 with the "supertramp style" organ. again waiting vocals?

song 3- not my preference but still good.

overall great songwriting skills -welldone. all tracks well thought of and put together
trev!

[color=black]Cheers for the comments. You totally get where I'm coming from with my tracks. Song 1 -5th Finger has been sitting around for over a year now, I know what you mean about it needing a melody. My former song writing partner heard it recently and he said pretty much the same. Basically I laid down this track to test out my 'studio' (i.e. dining room) after I moved house. Just a few riffs and no real direction! Any suggestions would be appreciated![/color]

[color=black]I try to get my drum tracks as acoustic and organic as possible considering that they are all played on a midi keyboard. I can play the drums to an acceptable standard, and I guess that helps with the programming, however I can't fit my kit into my music room so soundfonts and Groove Agent have to do. [/color]

[color=black]The second track is pretty recent. I'm still faffing around with it at the moment. I have a melody line and some rough lyrics ready to record, but my own voice and lyrical skills are pretty weak, so I might get my wife to have a go at it. The Supertramp Wurlitzer piano and Hammond organ was a deliberate nod to one of my favourite groups. Well spotted![/color]

[color=black]10 to 2: That track is 4 1/2 years old, actually recorded using the (crappy) Creative Labs drivers, so cheating really! The double tracked recorder solo is the bit I like the best.[/color]
