Interesting sound Neo

Re: Liar - an original song

Hi neophytte,  wow, amazing!  This music you post on ~my local band and I~  is completely different to your other music i have heard you playing on your own with just you and your guitar.  What are you and your friend using for the back ground instruments? is it some sort of music track programme?  Any way well done, I only listened to the radio friendly one, but as I said, completely different to your other stuff.

Re: Liar - an original song

Thanks, we used a Tascam 488 hooked up to a sync box , which ran an old program from Opcode called EZVision - that ran the MIDI code for the Roland Canvas SC-55 sound module and controlled most of the drums and the bass and a few sound FX's from the module ... my friend (Phil) played guitar on this track, as he's the better player, and I programmed, played keyboards and sang.

This is a pic of me when we were working on the album:

And this is us in the band (Phil is on the left, I'm on the right, keyboard and drummer in between):

I've got a better pic of the studio setup somewhere, if I can find it, I'll post it up ...

Cheers

Re: Liar - an original song

Tight and Right, Neophytte (or is it "neo-fit").

Dumb question, but "in one of my duo's.......": what does that mean (keeping in mind I'm a "Yank")? Were you two musicians at the time? I loved the tune, by the way and I'm glad it's a part of an album. Can one hear it in it's entiriety  on you tube, or might you be selling it on Amazon or elsewhere? Well done, and i'd also appreciate knowing where you got that red/black 6-string or is it available only in Perth.

Thank you for sharing that rockin' tune with us!

Re: Liar - an original song

Found some more pics of the studio, this was an early version, probably when I first started recording (maybe 1995?):

Slightly later, at my own place, still mixing to tape!!:

This was a couple of years ago, getting the analogue tape mixes into Logic on the Mac:

No such thing as a dumb question!! Yes, it was the two of us who remained after the band split up; we worked on this tune and a few others that the band was going to release, although we never performed in public under this band name (however we did a couple of gigs with acoustic guitars):

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1655924_10153852857070514_53946175_n.jpg?oh=8a8bf2624b1b14de23769f8feab5b393&oe=5A899CC7

Oops, sorry, missed this one, the guitar is a Denver, Model EF240BR:

I wasn't sure if they still existed, but it appears they do:

Mine is old, got it in the early 90's, and it was the best sounding guitar at the local music shop ...

Re: Liar - an original song

I know macs and and pc's that one has to be the oldest working mac I have seen in a long time.  If memory serves correctly this one had only large floppies.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

The Mac in the first pic is a Mac Plus, this one came standard with a 3.5" drive, but I had a secondary (external) drive, plus a massive HD20, 20 Megabyte external hard disk ...

The Mac with the 8 track connected to it (and the fellow from South Park on the monitor) is a 6200, which has a 3.5" drive, and an internal 600Mb drive - it's had a variety of external HD's attached over the years as backups. The photo of this one was actually the last time it worked, the day after this, it wouldn't turn on, probably leaky capacitors in the PSU, as was common for those era Macs - I was donated a 7200 by a friend and managed to transfer the rest of the files over ...

I also bought a Mac Cube, because I've always liked them, and retro-fitted it with a G4 Stealth card, there is a modern day one being sold here: http://alexhixon.com/projects/jamport/index.html
