Hopefully at some point he can help me revamp the visuals on this site because he is a total photoshop ninja.

I’m trying to compile a bunch of tracks into a cohesive album format. I’m tentatively naming it ‘Band-aids for Androids’ but that might not work out because I think band-aid is trademarked or something. Maybe I’ll come up with something better. Any ideas?

I decided to heavily remix Eetar on the way home from work

I’m took some of my custom synth patches (and rhodes) and experimented on a new track

Now that I have one I’m noticing them all over. It is a really popular keyboard in professional studios.

I really like the action on the keys, they have a sharp synth feel but plenty of response on the aftertouch for playing more delicate pieces. I haven’t yet gotten my latency below 15ms which is just slightly annoying but totally playable. I may need to pick up a dedicated audio card to get it lower.

The drum pads are not so hot but hopefully I can get a pad kontrol or MPD24 in a few months. I’m going to experiment with hooking up my MPC2000 to the MIDI on the Novation and see if I can use it as a secondary control surface for beat sequencing.

Pushing and Getting Up

New Version of Smeezle on the Eeter

I’m a bit torn on uploading tracks that are not 100%. On one hand getting a track to 100% is a huge task and would require real mastering. Since I can’t make music a full time job I have to just focus on getting them to a state that I’m happy with. I think that it at least forces me to get some kind of completion on the tracks and also encourages me to put more polish on them than I might otherwise since somebody may listen to them.

If you come along and listen to any of the tracks, let me know what you think (good, bad or ugly).
