I'm trialing Re-Tron right now. And I find it interesting how much its sounds affect the way I write music. This song sounds nothing like my music normally does.
Would be interesting to make a couple of tracks using the GForce REs just to see where it takes me creatively.

Hi

Personally, I am for a use close to live or nothing is automated. For example, I never use a regroove.
This is a personal point of view, of course.

Hmm, sorry I'm not really sure I understand how your comment relates to my track.

Sorry, I had the impression that it was only automation and mouse work. (?)

Ok I see. It's a mix of notes being played by hand and adjusting the notes timing manually in the sequencer. But this track isn't tied to the grid (a fixed tempo), so no quantizing. The tempo/timing is pretty loose.

Weird, this is not the song I originally listened to on this page. Have you replaced him ?

I hope is not, we all progress by listening to what others say. :|

Nope, haven’t changed a thing. It’s the same song.

My apologies for that. Would my browser have played tricks on me ? :mrgreen:

This short guitar passage reminds me of an intro of Billy Idol.

No worries. Thanks for listening to the track.

Yep they've got a similar guitar tone. :puf_smile:

That's very cool! I could imagine this in a Western movie! Also a bit like Yello.
Very atmospheric!

Do you have any connection/history with using "older" sounds yourself? Or does perhaps your experimental nature blend better with newer more tweakable/optiony tools?

Yep definitely western movie vibes for me and could picture the town with a saloon listening to this.

Awesome!
Blended the old sounds with new the tools seamlessly. :thumbs_up:
I've already started working on something based on this video. :puf_smile: But unfortunately I'm gonna be quite busy for some time. But I'll be back when I've got something.

Instant western vibe for me, too. I don't like western movies but I do randomly like listening to western music during long drives. This also reminds me that I have GForce ChamberTron. I've never really used it because I kept experiencing an odd issue with no sound if I played notes on my midi keyboard before patches fully loaded. You have me curious enough to wipe the dust off that RE.

Finished it quicker than I thought.
Given how the song came about, I couldn't think of a more appropriate title.

Apparently genuine inspiration works quicker than Bradley’s pleading.

Not quite Vangelis, but still an absolutely awesome collab :clap:

Yes very majestic and powerful.
I think we've reached the destination for this one. :puf_smile:
Listening/watching this I almost forget what the thread was initially about. This thread really took off in a completely new direction. And I'm not complaining one bit. I've enjoyed the ride.

At some point I gotta try out some of that resampling stuff you did with Europa too. I've never delved into that. But that's for another day. :puf_smile:

Yes I noticed the ChamberTron bug too. Oh well, I like it enough to deal with that, even if it isn't perfect. I've decided I'm gonna buy ChamberTron and ReTron.
