For anyone who missed it, I also have comments on the other two tracks as well as my own submission on the previous page.

I saturated the rhythm track with some Gverb (reverb in Audacity), and threw some extra Delay on the leads to give them a hollow sound. Bass and drums were kept dry and straight up the middle. The rhythm guitars were widened a bit, as was the lead (just a touch).

Bass drop! Felt like I was sinking into the Earths Inner Core. Love the "Dr Who" theramin sounds layered over it too. Great track Janz!

Nice use of a sequencer here, and I love the quirky stuff coming in later. Very Tomita-ish sounding, and like Janz mentioned, it does have that 70's futuristic quality to it. Another contender!

So was that you playing an acoustic drum kit? If so, kudos on the impressive miking job!

YorkeDaddy · 06-18-2014, 08:47 AM

Thanks fellas. There's been some great stuff posted in this thread and we all have different styles so it's really cool

Ooops, I didn't mention it was a random track I grabbed from YouTube. I do have Hydrogen, but I'm usually too lazy to put anything together with it.

Here it is.

Also, I used my Jaguar Bass through a dry line through my HD500 to the same input on the M-Audio. Thats it, unless anyone wants to know the guitar and amp sim settings for the guits. Got those too.

Great to see so many submissions! I was fearing it would end up to be just me and Plank.

To those who haven't put up a submission, you have until midnight tonight (PST) to submit your tracks until voting officially starts.

Mm! I never noticed this thread before. I think once my new toys come in I might participate eventually.

You can now submit your votes on which track you liked best. It's not required but a couple of sentences on why you picked the track you did would be good. Here are the submissions:

Plankton:

Frownland:

Janzsoon: https://soundcloud.com/mister-zoon/the-hollow-earth

YorkDaddy: https://soundcloud.com/daydream-soci...-a-hollow-mind

We'll trade off on who gets to select the next theme based off of who submitted tracks first. So...
1. Frownland
2. Plankton
3. Janzsoon
4. YorkeDaddy

Since I went first, Plankton gets to decide on the next theme.
