January 30 2018: Sessions
The recording process is nearing its end and frankly, it has taken me long enough! Check out some clips from this week:

The next step is mixing and mastering: setting all volume levels right, adding effects and getting a good sound overall. I don’t know how long this is going to take, but my goal is to have the EP sound as professional as possible.

I’ve also been thinking about final song names and the EP title. I’m trying to go back to the roots of these songs to find the connecting element, if that makes sense. And no, I’m not releasing any track called ‘Bananas’ :joy:.

Is that a midi keyboard you were playing in the second half of the vid?

Yes, it’s the same synthesizer / midi keyboard I posted an update about a few months back. I mainly use it to record sounds and not as midi keyboard.

Thank you :smile:
‘Bananas’ is the demo title and I’ll change that into a proper name. I’m definitely keeping this song, it’s one of the best!

Sure, that’ll be 800 Euros :joy:
But why do you need a midi keyboard for your project?

Umm…I think an impromptu music department raid is a better option :joy:

It’s one way to get it to play music. Tesla coils can play music out of their electric arcs.

#163

Hahahaha good luck with that.

Wow I didn’t know that! Let me know if you succeed in making that

#164

It’s a kit, we’re just building it. Designing one from scratch is too much effort. Anyway, I don’t want to take your thread off on a tangent.

Great progress Rick @rickvanmeijel, you act very professional already so the result can only be great and professional of course :sunny:

and this thread is just real great- more and more personal with each post :blush: we love it here in our lil paradies and the outside world will appreciate it once you are famous- I still remember when I found your „Ebb and Flow“ those years back on sc - and the flow became a very great wave you are riding on it man! That’s awesome … and „bananas“ is my favorite track too :sunny: Curious about the next post already :tada:
