Strings Patch Drove Me Crazy !!!!

Image
Strings Patch Drove Me Crazy !!!! Strings Patch Drove Me Crazy !!!! Another 2 or 3 hours were spent today in order to achieve only 3 seconds of musical arrangements. This time it was because a "Strings" patch - sound font - gave me a nasty surprise. I loaded it into Pro Tools and started playing what would be the string arrangement that introduces the chorus. Anyway, I know the chords of the song and have them written down. I was sure that the final chord before the chorus was a "G" major. But after loading the "String Patch", I would click the "G" key on the keyboard, but it would not match the rest of the recorded music. I told myself, maybe I wrote the chords down wrong or something!! But after some tests it became clear that the patch was not right. Then I thought maybe I had unexpectedly pressed some button that lifts the sound by 1 note or changes the pitch by one note... But even after resetting the patch was still playing an ...

Update 6 on Atish Bezanesh Recording. Two hours work for a 3 seconds arrangement. Plus Saw Lead Synth Sound Brings Memories

Update 6 on Atish Bezanesh recording. Two hours work for a 3 seconds arrangement. Plus Saw Lead Synth Sound Brings Back Memories Today it took me 2 hours to create a small guitar/keyboard arrangement that only lasts 3 seconds . However, it sounds super cool . It is part of my work on my first Farsi song and recording called آتیش بزنش (Bailatela) - romanization: Atish Bezanesh - . When originally I made my planning, I had optimistically thought that the keyboard arrangements would take me only a week, part-time, to write and record. However, now it is clear that this takes way longer. I was so naive to think that I would just switch the keyboard and start playing. I forgot that one has to select sounds carefully and then even modify these sounds to make them appropriate for the recording. Talking about synth sounds, while searching for sounds I stumbled upon the Nice Saw Lead sound which is sort of like the moog sound. I used it for the entire bridge section of the song...

The Puglia Experience : South Italy

Image
The Puglia Experience : South Italy I finally was able to visit Puglia Italy, though it all started very badly when my backpack containing absolutely everything was stolen in Madrid's Barajas airport, the day I was going to leave for Puglia. Passport, Id's, credit cards, netbook, keys, camera, wallet, cash... everything was stolen. The police were of no use and wasted precious time taking a written report. Someone saw a guy in his 40's with beard and black shirt take my backpack, but he did it very slowly so the guy that saw it thought he might be a family member or something and didn't say anything. Then the police had his picture and said he was a regular and does it everyday. They take him to court and the judge releases him the next day because there was no bodily harm. Everyone: Please put a password on your laptop and portable divice RIGHT NOW!!!!!! Now on to Puglia. It is like the Italian equivalent to Andalucia in Spain. Here are some pictures. Abov...

Recorded Vocals in a Studio for my first Farsi song ATISH BEZANESH

Image
Update number 4 on the progress of Atish Bezanesh (Bailatela)- Beginning of August 2010 I am working slowly but surely on my first Farsi recording and release called آتیش بزنش (Bailatela) . I just returned from a studio where I recorded the vocals. The vocals had to be recorded in a proper studio because only they have those high-end phantom microphones you see in the picture below. The picture was taken during the recording session. It was too warm in there. The engineer Mike, however was very nice. I got lucky. Previous updates can be read in the links below: : The song is expected to be ready mid October 2010. Previous post 3 . Update post # 2 . Update 1
