Seance
Let your imagination run wild with the vocals. I've realised how big you imagination is. Quote on your lead in page the Unity Calling interpretation of Seance. It's about contacting the living spirits. Take as long as you want. It would be great if it was the Summer Dance tune
Posted by Troy



This tune is really coming alive with these new vocals, I'm still working on Laurens, there's a lot involved. Not easy juggling this with my job and everything!!!! I've used a choir effect on her voice when the lyric changes to "it's not only us here" it sounds great

re Vocals
Cool, I feel it is going the right way again. We did good work on Friday. Really extend your imagination. This is a space age tune and what ev you can do with vocals to fit them into a space age sound will be cool.

Still at it
Yeah still working on the vocals, mostly processing to get them to sound their best. Run into some problems but getting around it!! It's getting there. Still yet to upload an updated version, I like to keep everyone in suspense!!! Wallace and Gromit aye Troy!!

Update
Cool, sounds good, I will have a look when I get a chance. Just to keep everyone in the picture, I've done all I want to do on this track at the moment, I believe Troy has given Lauren an instrumental version of the track so she can get an idea of what she wants to do with the vocals. Lauren had no practice at all on our previous studio session so it was a probally a bit difficult for her, she has got a beautiful voice and I would really like to show people it in this track.

took my boys to the studio that we will be using and I know you will br pleased. It looks the part plus it only costs 30 an hour.
Posted by troy



thought of a couple of touch up options. one is a sonic underlay under the kick. it will make it a little bouncier, hope you enjoyed your break,
Posted by troy love

Posted by John



ok this is now how we get messages to eachother. The other tunes are fantastic john. Think how far you've come . It is all starting to sound really pro.&#65007;
Posted by troy



That is a banging mix john. Just need a 3.5 min version for the video. Sliced up from the 6.30 version with vocals. Haven't heard back from steve (video) yet
Posted by troy



Ok lads.. Looks like beetles are part of Unity Calling. Hope your beetle experience is a happy one. Mine got killed. Steves was just scary. Good luck
Posted by troy



I had a random thought about the video on the way to work two seconds later I saw a small beetle walking accross the pavement infront of me, I havn't seen one since

Sonic Advancement
Ok, I've been busy for a couple of days, all this hard work has given me another cold!! But I'm nearly over it now. Got rid of all the bugs in my system, I've reinstalled windows and all my hardware and software... took me 3 days!! I've gone back to the original composite vocal edit and removed the EQ and the de-esser I was using, the quality is now amazing. I've had to take out the Roland arpegiator as it sounded too dirty, I'm replacing it with a sound from Z3ta(Amazing plug in!) also I'm working on a new bass line for the whole thing to sit on, the processor is now giving me grief so I've had to freeze a lot of the channels. Also I've discovered a very important feature on Cubase - VST Delay compensation, it's a little button that when pressed compensates for every delay that each VST effect/instrument gives thus meaning the hats, snares and kicks are really tight over the percussion I've used... All that time and I've never knew that was even there!!! Just got to put it all together now, sometimes the only way forward is taking a few steps back. Oh and the MPH mix has a few gaps that need work plus the bottom end needs compression, I've tried it and it makes a lot of difference. I will make a note next to it on the site when it has been updated.
Posted by John



Oh, yeah one more thing, I've installed the latest driver for my sound card which is making things run a bit smoother now.... Never say Never.... Negativity = Negativity, Positivity = Positivity, ya get me?
Posted by john



just dont doubt anything john. it's all going in the right direction. Music , (other mixes) The artwork plus the icing on the cake.. the DVD that steve is doing. 23rd november we started all this and when we think we cant improve things any more we realise we can...But we are nearly there. good work everyone
Posted by troy



funender is starting to look huge.
Posted by troy love



I cant wait to get this new version on the site, people hav got to hear it
Posted by John



picked up Steve and dans remix. Will post it as soon as possible. It must be good cuz when my dad heard it, for the first time in my life he said he was proud of me. lol
Posted by troy



well done to Jaywes and deeko going back to back on trancemixers. They played U4IC vs Steve Birch mix, and it came across strong. Of that I got them a slot on another Internet radio station. John they play on Mondays now at 10pm, so their link needs updating

Sleep, noisy people
Nearly finnished this now, i need sleep!!! I've got a crowd of people in my lounge playing loud music. funky house, good stuff, when the times right!!! I should go and play the bongos, but I'm worried I might end up drumming all night!! hard life
Posted by John



why dont you get your drums surgicaly attached john. doubling up as a little table.
Posted by troy


Finished
Right john are you ready to take on the world with this.
Posted by troy



the countdown has began
Posted by john


mph bass
The bass end on MPH seems to be a bit messy, like there's no kick to it, it seems to be one continuous sound\rumble... I'm gonna add some clever compression to it to see if I can get it pumping... Yeah yeah, I know, Mr compression!! ha ha. I still have a few tricks up my sleve.
