Glad to see you made it so far. We were all lost souls swimming in a fishbowl long ago in Hawthorne…

Hi…enjoyed your tutorial vid on the Yamaha MO-6. I’m slowly learning the keyboard and have finally broken ground on recording in song mode, and dabbling in pattern mode too. My only issue is, and maybe you can shed light, if you don’t mind, in a simple way for my simple mind….I’m having trouble figuring out how to save a song that I’ve created. The instruction manual is not much help….looking for that “primmer”. Thanks a bunch!!!

I caught one of your videos on youtube and decided to explore a little further. I just purchased the Maschine. Wanted to tell you Im very impressed by your music and hope you stay inspired to do more, I got your site bookmarked and thanks for sharing your Maschine Album. That Maschindia song is amazing!

God Bless!

Mike, glad you liked the tune. This was done a while ago so some of the details are fuzzy. Here is what I do recall: The main riff was with my ES335, the main amp was a Peavey Classic 50, miked with an SM57 (naturally). I also used a Strat in the breakdown, you can hear the tonal difference, still probably the Classic 50. The trippy backwards sounding part was done by taking part of the lead and sampling it in Reason (I think the NNXT device), triggering it via a keyboard, set to play backward. That is why it sounds backwards AND fast (hitting it in a higher key). I also used Reason for some of the rythmic sounds, like the chorus tom beat, intro and outro beats. I probably processed the tracks using some plugins in Cubase, typically for reverb and delay and compression. The drums were probably Steinberg LM4, but I do not use this anymore. And of course I typically rework and edit tunes in Cubase to make the arrangements better. I remember letting a firend hear an early version, and he said, that part goes on too long.. so I just made it shorter – you gotta love digital editing. That’s all I recall. It was a fun tune to do, still one of my favorites.

Frank,

great tunes – especially Saturated. I really like the tones in this song. What guitars, effects, amps were used? Appreciate an e-mail back.

Albert,
I no longer have the Zoom. It is a great unit but I am probably not the best person now to ask for support. Sorry…
