Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hey,

  Now that everyone has got their new roms and created new 
tunes, I think it would be cool if everyone would post a link to their 
new mp3 w/ a short comment on how you created it or what was 
used.

  On my new tune, sing along to yourself "In a Gadda Daveta", 
and enjoy the emu arps jammed live w/ the vortex.  Too much Art 
Bell.  ;)

  I've enjoyed other posts in the past to peoples music,  don't be 
shy... let's hear all of those new emu roms.

Click "tracks".

This tech-house track is created with an E-Mu MP-7 (Mo'Phatt & X-Lead 
v2 ROM). I used nothing else. Didn't use effects from the MP-7 either.

This is my first track by the way. Feedback appreciated.

like the minimal tech track

love the lead @ 2:55 - maybe you could but a variation on that theme
with a lot of bass and crazyness to make it insane, otherwise it
sounds good... and i don't usually like minimal techno

Here's the link to my briefcase:

http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/mikedancy

It's not much, but there's two versions of an experimental song I worked on pertaining to 
the drum rom.  My friend wanted to see if we could simulate a live drummer.  He recorded 
guitar and bass into my VS-840 and I sequenced drums to the tracks.  We did this back in 
Feb./ March of this year.  I recently tried remixing everything using Garage Band- hence 
the two versions.

I've been so busy this year with traveling that I haven't been able to finish any of the stuff 
I've started in the E-mu.  Err, some day I guess.

Sounds great...  Coulda fooled me!  sounds like real drums.

Mike, great job on the drums. However you shifted the snare and hats 
really sounds live to me. During the extended middle section it gets 
a little repetitive. Here I would look at adding some large crash 
hits to liven it up. If you vary the cymbol pattern and timing a few 
different ways, it would sound even more like a live drummer.

Thanks for all the feedback!!

Mark, I know what you're saying about the "middle" part.  One of these days I'm going to 
add some spice and fix that part.  A note about the recording.  (My friend, who owns an 
xl-7, cringed when I told him)  I made patterns to the length of each "section" of the song.  
Thanks to midi, I was able to attack each section seperately.  And, the drums sounds are 
tracked out. (5 tracks)

Mike

What's wrong with this, why did he cringe?  That's exactly the way I'd do 
it too...

Well... He thinks I should have had the drum "loops" in individial tracks across a couple of 
patterns.  Splitting up patterns the way I did it just made more sense to me-  and a hell of 
a lot easier, too.  Boils down to personal preference, I guess.

That's my question.  All great composers wrote in sections.
