Train To Belair-2014 Crazy Psychedelic Sonic Art
https://thedigitalpoet55..../train-to-belair-2014/Ok...I've finally got around to start fixing my Honours project composition's...this track really screwed me over...basically it's a recording of a train ride from Adelaide in South Australia to Belair National Park...also in South Australia...this has been sped up using Reapers Vari-Speed...then fed into various filters and delays...you are then spat out onto the platform...literally, the train leaves and you are left with a beautiful silence...just a few birds...finally you venture into the national park...here I've used a granular synth, and using nothing more than the a field recording created a church style organ, I've then taken a fly sample, also something I recorded on the day and put that into the granular synth...this then played via the Yourock guitar...the track ends on a Musique concrète bed.
What made this track so difficult to get it to this point last year was I was still learning how to get the best out of the Sonar...Sonar is a complete and comprehensive mixing environment...this is something that needs to be understood...with the addition of the Pro Channel...even more so...It now has it's own sound...just like a studio or desk from the 60's and 70's. On top of that, I brought the Waves H-Comp and Kramer Master Tape, and it has taken me a year to master these two effects...and here's a tip to the newbies...learning a particular compressor...even virtual ones can take a long time to master...they're just like musical instruments...I've finally...finally got the H-Comp...how Sonar interacts as a mixing environment and myriad of other things...it's only taken a year and half of intense practice and research...anyway enjoy.
