Great, fun piece. Your command of Klingon is impressive.

I just wrote the English stuff and used a universal translator. It's probably gibberish to a real Klingon.

If you're really interested in how I put my stuff together -- do you have DropBox and Live? I could send you a file (flattened, so you wouldn't need any plugins).

I am interested, but alas I have neither Live nor a Dropbox.

Quel dommage.

Funky but unsettling. How many vocal tracks did you lay on?

There are actually only 4 vocal tracks with a couple sends to FX tracks as well.  And I actually only sang two tracks, two of the tracks are dupes that I then altered the pitch on just a half step up and a half step down from the main vocal track.  I added a bit more reverb to the vocal bus on my Reverbnation version (not because the name Reverbnation practically demands it) and I like that effect because it sounds like a real choir in a choral hall to me.

Oh, also the drums (except the kick) were all done with a voice kit but not my voice and set to a bossa nova beat.  Then I accented that with the kick every quarter note throughout and the bass hitting pretty much at the same time as the kick.

Oh, and Klingons are supposed to be unsettling.  smile

That's different ;-) Talk about languages that have a guttural sound, haha!

Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof!
But I liked it.

Thank you.  I used my new Bluetube v2 preamp to record the vocals.  So far I'm very happy with it.  This current week's entry will have vox and guitar tracks recorded through the preamp.

Looking forward to hear your new recordings smile

Creepy and unsettling indeed yikes but i like it because of that! Nice job!

Hooray!
