- 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 the rest of the band. The sequenced sounds I use are assorted Amiga
- samples, manipulated with OctaMed and TechnoSound, 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 rest of the band to
- reproduce the Bass and drums etc. The Synth instruments and Samples are
- used in separate tracks in the mix. The Music-X/MIDI convertions enable me
- to obtain full MIDI specs with controllers, fades and pitch bend etc with a
- MIDI sequencer in the recording studio..
-
- The programs I use for sequencing are OctaMed V5.01 & V6 and between them I
- have some very powerful music creation tools, although thanks to Kevan R.
- Craft who has converted the files for me you can access my files in other
- formats including Music-X sample conversions and Music-X MIDI Performance
- files as well as General MIDI SMF Standard MIDI Files so you should be able
- to have fun with them..
-
- 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..
