Hi,

Just wanted to share a "prod" recorded/produced in spacef studio :-)

I did Recording , Arrangements, and mixing.

Well, I am happy to have remixed it last week end when they asked me the mix again... I had no idea it was meant to go public...

Recorded last year, I was just told by the band that a video was online.

It was made before KrOn was made, so no KrOn inside :-(

Recorded With Xite-1 + Modular Mixer v2 (voices, guitars)
A couple of Echo 4 i delays
Mixed in Studio one (with lots of NI plugins for compress/verbs) and Modular Mixer v2
SpaceF plays MS20 solos, redid basses (minitaur+ms20)

I also did the Mastering but would have prefferred that they go to a proper mastering studio.

Love it! Cinematography was great too!

Were the vocals sent thru the Echo 4 as well?

That's really excellent. A bit of Etienne Daho but with much better lyrics. The record, mixing & mastering sound perfect. At least, it wasn't you who made the video ? Which is not bad at all !
If you made the arrangement, it means you're responsable of a great part of the musical result, right ? Really good.

Congrat ! Bravo !

Hi,

No I did not make the video. it's a gifted guy named hédi. i saw some raw video shooting, what he made with it is really fantastic (video engineer job, i feel like he used video effects just as we use audio effects,).

>> Were the vocals sent thru the Echo 4 as well?
no, there is only reverb on the voices (or may be a bit of delay but not echo4i, not that I remember at least).
there is noticeable Echo4i on the guitars and on the intro synth solo, the synths/keys "stacks" that you hear somethimes.


>>If you made the arrangement, it means you're responsable of a great part of the musical result, right ? Really good.

yes, not alone though, it was a common group work.
I added the solo in the intro drums, outro, redid the bass with the subtle pitch bends, it is also my guitar pedals, my analog synths and vsti, fx etc :-) mixed to my taste :-) in fact I think they did that track knowing whatfrustrated me in their other tracks.

It is weird because it's hard to say "it is my song" but I also recognize it as "one of my tracks" .

They should have told me that it was going online though, i would have cleaned the vocals a little bit more (there 1 word that is still disturbing to me and it was a only work in progress mix i did a few months ago) So I feel better if you like the prod as it is ;-)

Thanks for the kind words !

here is another one :

KrOn sequences (bass and arpegio)
SpaceF Ambient Delay on the background of the chorus voice
Mixed, Recorded etc with Xite / Modular Mixer v2 and Studio One.

Now, where is the plugin that would make me sing great and be a guitar hero ? I don't have any of those :-)

Thanks Astroman,

This one is clearly my best "cold wave" song :-) I translated the lyrics in the YT subtitles, I hope it works...

PS: making vidéos takes so much time.... time not making music.... but it has to be done :-/ ..... I did not shave, did only one take... so it is "so and so" :-)
Enjoy
