[track] Intense Color

Certainly can't fault the production in anyway, it's stupendous. So much going on all the time, but every instrument comes through clear as a bell. Musically it sounded like a really fun track. maybe not a prefered style for me, but i did enjoy it. Good one.

Heheh. I kinda skirted around the fact that I didn't use P5 a whole lot for this track :).

sephfire did most of the arrangement with Reason 2.5 and then sent me his project file. He's not so hot on the production side of things, so I offered to master it and make it sound huge. But then I added a whole lot of stuff to it with various techniques in Acid pro 5. (Note...didn't use ANY canned loops or anything like that). I like to bounce audio from P5 or Reason into Acid loops then chop, reverse, and do stuff like that. Also, a favorite technique is to make a feedback-tastic delay effect on an aux buss (for example, the feedbacky echo sound in the beginning), solo that aux buss, render a little bit of the project with just the feedback sound. Then I have this little audio clip that decresendos. Reverse it, and you've got this neat pad that crescendos. Then I can pitch shift it, chop it, etc. It's like making some weird audio collage :). All those screaming sounds around 2:30 are done with that method, but I put some Camelspace on em for some filters and echoes and whatnot.

I'd love to say I do these types of things in P5, but I find P5 comes up a bit short in the heavy/weird audio manipulation area. It's bounce to track bounces the whooole length of the project, there is no reverse clip function, and I enjoy Acid's node/line automation more than P5's graph.

I used P5 for the Nintendo sounding synths because Acid is horrible for VST instruments.

I've got more songs coming up that use P5 a lot more. If this one hadn't been started in Reason I would have used P5 quite a bit.

Glad you guys like the track though. I like the community here, that's why I still post my tracks that don't use P5 so much ;)


edit: oh, glad you like the fakeout ending I thought it would be fun to kinda trick people into thinking the song was done there.

oh if you want to hear the difference between what sephfire gave me (straight out of Reason) and what I added to it, check out this mp3: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~danadler/intense_color%20sephfire.mp3

I second Orphans WOW!! I really liked that!!

As everyone has said awesome production - I liked the very busy nature of it - lots going on for my short attention span!!!

One of my favourite tracks I have heard here, now if only I could produce something of that quality!!

Great track

supergreenx:

this does have a huge sound. nice work. very pro sounding mix and production techniques. I'm listening on a a system with subwoofers and that bottom kicks through nicely.

Reminds me of a guy over at soundclick who goes by the name of teque.

Hmmmm...I liked this track.....

I didn't really like the orchestra hits. I thought they were a little cheezy.

The reverb sounds really nice....What reverb did you use?

The production seemed a little too "wide" for my tastes. I'd place elements in the stereo field so that they have a little more purpose.

Other then that it sounded nice if not a little too dancey for my taste.

Hey Danny ... do you have red hair?

I dunno why I asked...I'm just seeing your avatar and realized it must be you. I like how you made thata avatar...its cool having your logo behind you with you looking down at us...well...your not "looking down at" anyone, but you know what I mean. LOL

I guess I was just BUMPING this thread again! Amazing tune.

Love the pose! Although it does seem pretty hard and "elitist"...ehheeh...although not so bad as these:


DJ Tiesto


P.P.K.


SolarStone


BT


Gigi D'Agostino


Paul van Dyk


I thought it was odd that you chose super"GREEN"x rather than RED...that's why I asked.

Hey SGX. This is outstanding!

Thoroughly enjoyed.

And, Fifth Element...great movie!

Not over here it don't. Here BT stands for British Telecom and boy does it suck.
