A little something I whipped up today with the Manystation and some of my own presets (and one of Paul's),

http://www.tronam.com/griels/ManyStatio ... laby_3.mp3 (192kbps)

http://www.tronam.com/griels/ManyStatio ... _3_128.mp3 (128kbps)

A bit of Ambience, Endorphin and NyquistEQ on it, that's all.

Any thoughts peeps?

I like this – makes me feel good about having just ordered ManyStation.

Two comments:

1. The tempo – seeing as it’s a lullaby I think this tune would work better if you turned it down a notch.

2. The drums – again, for a lullaby they’re a bit too busy for my taste and the snare sound is a tad too intrusive. You might want to try something a bit more subdued – maybe a side stick?

Hmmm, maybe it’s working as a lullaby after all – I feel a bit drowsy. Off to bed.

Nice one, griels.

Fair enuff, it's at 120bpm and I was toying with the idea of slowing it to 100bpm (some of the parts were recorded at that tempo anyway, so it would probably sound more natural, I'm just a speed demon

).

Okidoki, the snare is a tad contentious from comments I've received already so I'll have a look into a mellower snare sound.

Thanks, and sweet Manystation-esque dreams

oh boy!

i'm loving this influx of manystation pieces - they're heightening my excitement for the morrow.

some beautiful sounds there, it's reminiscent of 1970's BBC2 intermission music, which i loved - at school we would occasionally watch a science education program; it's around 11 in the morning, eminating from the school kitchen are the first wafts of cooking, the teacher's set up the av equipment and there's a one minute countdown on the screen with a title like 'television for schools follows shortly' and they're playing the most dream inducing music - by the time the program's started my head's drifted off out the window and so on down through the years. ahh! happy times

i'm just happy i've pre- ordered this thing.

thanks for the memories

Yeah, that's exactly where I was going this track, especially that lead sound

I'm a sucker for all those old 70s BBC Radiophonic Workshop tunes... I guess Boards of Canada reminded me of how much I love them... And of course there's the whole nostalgia trip, jumpers for goalposts and so on...

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks

Sinth greels!

The bottom end (missus) of yer acoustic geetar is getting mudded a lot wiht the bass there m'boy. El donko recommends 250 cut in said geetar.

I like it, its quirky/mellow, or "quirllow" to sum it in one word.
Each one of these manystation tunes is also adding to my excitment at getting it tomorrow.

Yeah, they're not sitting right now I listen today on speakers (tweaked the mix late last night on phones).

Yeah, I hear that too, in the harsh non alcoholic light of day... Will do

I forgot to say the rest sounds fine, i just think it was the wrong sample choice for those two sounds for this particular tune

And I agree... Anyway, I'll try to obtain a better drum sound forthwith

Just a little update.. I did some low cut on the guitars and reworked the drums... Link is at the top...

Cool music, griels

It's like a track off one of those albums you always liked

[Manystation Latino Jaath] Lullaby
