I originally wrote these backing tracks on an Amiga 500+ upgraded to 3 Mb
of RAM and beefed-up with an additional 68020 CPU Accelerator...
When you load up one of these tracks you'll notice that they sound
incomplete, that's because they are so, here's why.. After I've synced them
up to tape I lay down the Vocal, Guitar and live Drum and Percussion tracks
with Session musicans. The sequenced sounds I use are assorted Amiga
samples, manipulated with OctaMED and TechnoSound Turbo, and MIDI sounds
from a Kawai K1m and a Roland TR626 drum machine, although I don't
actually use the TR626 when recording master tapes because it sounds like
wet bare feet running round a warm indoor swimming pool, hmm.. (maybe I'll
have to sample that!) Anyway, these files represent my Demo versions
which are used in the studio recording process simply as guides for the
session musicians to reproduce the Bass and drums etc. The Synth
instruments and Samples are used in separate tracks in the mix. The Music-X
convertions enable me to obtain full MIDI specs with controllers, fades and
pitch bend etc with the Music-X sequencer in the recording studio. synched
to 24 Track tape via SMPTE.
The programs I use for composing are OctaMED Professional V5.01 & V6 and
between them I have some very powerful music creation tools, although
thanks to the MIDI IT" OctaMED MMD MOD to SMF converter you can access my
files in other formats including Music-X sample conversions and Music-X
MIDI Performance files together with these Standard MIDI File (SMF) which
have been configured for General MIDI (GM) so you should be able to have
fun with them as long as you`ve got access to somekine of GM synth or Card.
Again, the inclusion of these files on this CD-ROM are for examining ONLY
and I'd appreciate if you would respect my wishes.. Thanks..
Enjoy..
Asif Ali - Song writer/Guitarist/Vocalist in the Rock Band "Storm" with
their latest album "Out of Abbfinoosty Comes The Storm".
A Big thanks to Asif for permission to use his music files for inclusion on
the MIDI NET CD-ROM..
