"Midnight Sun" Ambient House music (now in stereo!

Post by **TrondC** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:26 pm

yup, in the series of re-recording my old tracks in stereo, time has come to the track "Midnight Sun", my ambient/house track. I gave the drums a little face-lift and turned down some parts on the ESX so it's a little less heavy on the bass..

yeah, that's it really

i remember this one, nice. what reverb did you use, hardware?

anyway,

reminds me of the chemical bros mellower stuff - star guitar, the sunshine underground, surface to air etc, which im a hugh fan of.

everything exept the main drums (the ER1), is nothing but my ESX. using stereo really widened out the sound

I keep thinking the main "lead" is too drowned in reverb to stand out enough, but then again, I've tries layering the lead with a more high pitched sound from my microkorg, but it just doesn't sound as good

anyway, thanx

No external processing and no external effects used..

Sounds good, particularly like the beats and the background theme. Nice one.

nice one, TrondC!

good to have the filter on each part for the ESX. makes it into quite a versatile drumbox it does.

I really enjoyed this. It's amazing you made it just from those two pieces of gear.

Yeah, good track Trondc. Wish I could use stereo on all my stuff that has a L/R output. Need more channels.

you mean more channels on your mixer? I went from recording everything in Mono due to lack of inputs on my tape-recorder, and buying a mixer with more inputs wat the best choice I've ever made

thanx for all the replies guys, It really feels good to make something people like

I did, but then the volume is too high on certain freqencies, causing overdrive..

anyway, I guess this is one track I'll keep on working with every now and then
