Ever Since the Day (Caustic jam)

By cTrix on February 7, 2016 11:57 pm

Time left to upload: 19 seconds.  Ahhhhhhhh!  I haven't even listened to this yet!!

(the below added after)
.

It was created in Caustic (Android/Win32) using (mostly) stock kits / synths.   The sequencing was a bit rushed as I had to stem it out after a few problems doing the final sequence in app.
.
In sounded quite different inside Caustic with it's own mix engine.  (I dropped my Caustic mastering when stemmed all the parts.)  I think it's the way the compressors ying-and-yang in Caustic because they all use the same algorithm - it just sounded better.  Reaper / Waves equivalents very different!  Here's a sample for comparison http://syntaxparty.org/temp/W5_Tried(Bu … t)-WIP.mp3
.
Written in 2 x airports, on 3 planes, 2 buses, and 2 taxi's.  Stemmed in bed.  Sequenced externally in the studio this morning in 45 minutes.   Now.... I get coffee.  Cheers!

sick as always, great work man!

Nice.  I have the paid version of Caustic, but so far I haven't managed to use it to create anything I would possibly want someone else to hear.  I love their vocoder, though.  Compared to Vocality that I paid big money for and it barely works with Studio One, my DAW of choice.

Great sound.

I meant Vocalizer by Sonivox.  I use it so seldom (because it's a hassle) that I forgot it's name.

I haven't actually done much with the Vocoder yet - so will have to check it out.  I was under the impression Vocalizer was pretty good; so it's a shame that it doesn't work that well for you.  Personally I have access to a Triton Studio, so I just use that ;-)  ... or Reaper's built in option which sounds pretty good too.

  Yeah, it's the side chain from the low frequency of the bass sine and a fast attack.  I usually use an RMS look-ahead to counteract it... but there is no such thing in Caustic!!  I guess it makes it's own sound.

I really want to progress the track a little more and maybe make an EP of this stuff.

did you do this on your phone dude? i don't think i could program drums parts that intricate on a touch screen hmm

killer entry as always duuude heart

man this is awesome! love the story behind it too haha smile

just perfect work with vocals

Imagine you set your clock 30 minutes in the future to try and trick your self wink

Nice work, and then, THE VOCALS!  --- I think your channeling some serious 60 revival vibes I think.
And strangely, it makes me think of listening to 'The Main Attraction'

!!!

groovy!!! my favorites are the pulsing bass drums/toms, and yeah, the vocals.

Nice one!

The melodies are so good and the sidechain in the pad is pretty cool!

Beautiful voice!

I'd be stoked about an EP of this for sure


Not bad for a travel song at all! Very cool as always!

This is fantastic, really awesome, groovy vibe that just makes me happy and want to move. Fav'd immediately, awesome work!

Excellent work--beautiful melody line, crazy rhythm, and especially great for the crazy schedule and not having listened to it first.

This track is amazing. I haven't got my head around sequencing/producing on mobile devices, although I usually use them as synths.

Could we know where the vocals come from?

The future-bass drum line with a more acoustic kit sounds killer. You definetely should release a (even more?) finished of this track... F***cking RAD!!!

Super dope jam. I like everything about it, but especially the vocals and kick drum side-chaining.

Awesome track! Sweet vocal treatment. Love the story how it came together too. Nice work.

dat bass hnnnng
