buzz forums

Hello. I'm an old buzzer with a few songs.

I don't like to blow my own trumpet - mainly because I can't play the trumpet. Nor do I own one. However, I am quite proud of my latest song - Quest (v2)

Anyway - all my stuff is here - http://www.buzztunes.org/music/marc

Enjoy!

cool stuff man! thanks for sharing. it's not often that i see a buzztunes song categorized as "gothic".

quest version 2 is a very complex and well developed piece. cheers!

edit: this actually really blows me away! what an intense song. i felt like i was standing in front of the stage at a crazy black metal show. could you share what you did for the guitars and vocals?

edit 2: dude this music is positively incredible. you give yourself too little credit in your buzztunes description. bravo!

First off, thanks a lot - I'm glad you enjoyed it. It really took a long time to make this one (on and off)

The speech vocals were done by me and (the samples) pitch-shifted slightly to be lower. I then ran them through a "DtBlkFx VST" to make them deeper still. The de-tuned speech parts ( "It is only the beginning" ) go through a Pluto buzz machine that I switch on and off as and when I need to do that effect.

There is also some vocoder effect going on some of the speech that uses a mixture of the Orange vocoder VST and the Buzz machine (again, turn on and off when needed)

The singing vocals are a bit more complex: Basically I use text-to speech program its "longest" setting and a wav editor to get the timing right. That then gets played through a pair of VST vocoders ( TAL and ELS ) - maybe Orange is used here as well. This is simular to how I did the singing in Doomsday.

The guitars, well for the lead (as thats simplest) I use Slayer VSTI.

The main rhythm guitars are a combination of JGuitar and the VSTi Real Guitar. They both go through their own distortion machine (Boogex VST) and get stereo-spreaded by a Buzz machine.

A few guitar samples are also scattered about (including one of me trying to play the Quest riff on my electric)

well done man. thanks for the insight!

Ohh nice mood in that Quest 2 track.

Thanks mate
