(Upbeat) The Players Took Me There. (Political version added)

Posted: 21 Jun 2016
by Carly(Poohbear)
Genre: PoohBear style :lol:


Written in Reason 9, Players heavily used but hope they don't sound like the players as I tried to be creative with them.

Most of the sounds (all bar one) are from the new sound bank with a few (quite a few in places) tweaks.




Political version


Hope you enjoy.

Feedback welcome.

Nice !!
Don't sound "generated" to me at all, if you know what i mean :)

Would you be willing to share how you did the effect at the end ? i like it !!

I do know what you mean :D

End effect, used a Buffre Beat Repeater, in reverse changing the pitch and a EQ that takes the bass out.

If you don't have that RE have a listen to the end of this one.
Bounced a bar to audio, reversed it, EQ over the top and used the Beat Repeater from the factory sound bank.

Cool bassline and dreamy arrangement. Yes very 80s (almost a cross between Donner Summer/Moroder and Eurythmics "Heaven" ) :)

Another 80s teenager here, this sounds great:-)
I agree with Raymondh, makes me think of Eurythmics "Heaven".
It would be nice to hear some vocals/speech samples in it; perhaps like it's used in this tune by Mitch Murder

It was going to be either Maggie or Winston however Winston sounds (or is) drunk in a lot of his speeches..

Winston, I like him a lot, drunk or not, and there are loads of quotes to learn!

Maggie, I really like her voice:-)
I don't know much about her, but I listened a lot to punk music in the eighties and I specially remember this not so flattering song by Crass

thanks for taking your time to give feedback.

I hate it when other people say this however I did slap this track together rather quickly, at the time Reason 9 (was just released I think) and a lot of people were complaining about the players, so I tried to be creative with the players by making the track sound like it was not just generated, so yes the Bass does become quite sanitised\sanitised, really I should revisit this as it's been a while since I have listened to it and it has some legs there. :thumbs_up:
