Imba Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks, melody on 1:05, 2:01 and would be nice that background melody at 0:24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Huh. I've had the X-Dream Best Of for a while now, and never noticed until now that "Out Here We Are Stoned" isn't an X-Dream original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 my take of the melodies is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b8aly6h7j9vl6y7/BHb77ZrJPX/smoke%20my%20dang-a-long.mid imho they should be pretty spot on. the background melody is more difficult with all that modulation. i tried around with lush-101 and wired the velocity to filter cutoff, but i'm not sure if i'm right and even if i am it still needs a lot of manual modulation. anyway, here's my try: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/109605202/Smoke%20my%20dang-a-long%20background.mid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 The first file is pretty close indeed! The second file: can't download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imba Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks a lot, first one is great i think! Second i downloaded but will be hard to make a preset, at least i have main melody which is most important, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 welcome. put it to good use imba! it will be interesting how you'll fit it in your style of goa trance. i imagine it to turn out quite different from the x-dream remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imba Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I already got something but i am just empty last few months, couldn't finish single track man. Last summer i done something like 15 tracks in one month? Now need to rest head for while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 spiritual healing is a difficult one, but i gave it a quick try. here is the Result. the synth settings: the pattern: Sadly your link is not working anymore. I would LOVE to hear the results. I tried aswell, just by looking at the above pic to get notes and pitchbend, i tried to copy it. I spent about 15 minutes doing this, then about 10 minutes to tweak the synth to sound "OKAY". Reason Subtractor was used + phaser + chorus + delay I think it came out not very alike but Im dying to hear what you were able to create! As you got very good response from that guy who said it was very close!! please re-upload anyway here is mine http://picosong.com/RUWU/ made two loops, one without ring mod and one with. coundlt decide which one sounded better so i used one of each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 hey i haven't got the original files anymore, but this one should be very close or identical to the old version on here: http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/65488712/file.html but since i got new headphones i couldn't resist tweaking the whole thing a bit more: http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/38941420/file.html i have no idea what zippyshare does to the file, but the second one sounds more metallic and distant than the file on my hd??? edit: apparently picosong works better (thanks for the tip), so here's the link: http://picosong.com/Rdby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 That was sweet bro. Would you mind sharing the synth used and the settings The pic from the old post is gone. Listening to mine again the second one definitely sounds better than the first. Ring mod is used on the second and it's also a whole octave lower but it doesn't sound like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring mod is used on the second and it's also a whole octave lower but it doesn't sound like it sure, i used zebra2 and here are the settings: with this customly drawn waveform: the original probably isn't as complicated. what settings did you use? i think you could get pretty close with a little bit of envelope tweaking and heavy abuse of chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks for sharing! You definitely got really close to the original. My hats off to you. I am out of town the next few days so I will soon post my settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 hello again this is the subtractor, not sure what to tweak to get it to sound more accurate. think i might have to try another synth http://bayimg.com/lAOGkAAEf and here is a soundclip i made with kick, bass etc just for the hell of it not very good, didnt spend much time on it hehe. http://picosong.com/RWfz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 again im extremely impressed with your reproduction, Padmapani. Would love to work with you someday anyhoo, I guess this concludes the spiritual healing, since we both did a very okay job. I will now start a new tune which is open for contest I will also try and of course I havent started already and am not cheating. I will select this one (just cause of the sheer impossibility to recreate it, I sure as hell wont succeed) : http://picosong.com/RvYf/ Cosmosis - a line from moonshine oh and for extra bonuspoints; the bassline also please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Quite impressive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 very interesting settings you have there in subtractor. a completely different approach and it really sounds much better in context with the correct bass progression. thanks again. someday, why not moonshine sure is a difficult one. i give up on getting the correct sound. i have tried every synth in my arsenal, but i've found that the only way to get the filter overdrive halfwawy right is zebra's middrive lp filter, while the original is a bp i believe. i didn't bother matching cosmosis' cutoff modulation so i only put an lfo on top and the bass pattern still misses some of the funkyness in the original. anyway, here's my try: http://picosong.com/ysAL/ and there goes another night that could have been spent more productively working on a track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliendna99 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wow. How do you do it? Do you just A/B listen and recreate note after note? Or do you use some sort of tool to extract notes ? I know there are such tools but I never had any great luck with them. I notice you mentioned Melodyne earlier and I would like to ask if you can tell us a little bit more. I especially liked the bassline, it was spot-on! The main melody sounds like it could use some distortion or maybe another bit-crushed version layered on top with low volume.Something to make it dirtier and wider. Excellent job though on the notes. Totally curious how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally curious how you did it. i just listened and played along with the midi keyboard to get the pitch right, then tried to put in the right notes, but i could only get the rhytm right once i pitched the original down to half speed. sadly this doesn't always more as well as here. the main lead has already gotten plenty of distortion. besides the filter overdrive (i turned it up to the max, but it could use a lot more), i put on logic's overdrive and saturn with a tube setting (the original definitely has some tube distortion on it). i don't think there's another layer on top in cosmosis' version. it's probably the filter of some hardware synth that makes it sound like that. the next best synth after zebra was sylenth, with which i could emulate the dirty, high screechyness better with similar settings, but in the end it still sounded way worse.

aliendna99 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Allright. I tried with Vanguard and got a nice sound that was somewhat close, but couldnt get the melody right. the notes yes, but not the pitching like it is in the original. mine just sounded dry.
