[In Pursuit of Justice]

Wow

I heard this song for the first time some months ago, but decided to review it after countless of reruns on my mp3 player :)! I love the whole 'medieval' feel to this song.
Few questions:
How did you get those strings to be so realistic? Are you using a special vst plugin? And that flute? Also a vst?
What program did you use to create this? Did you use a Groove Agent like program to make the drums?

I'de love to work together on a song sometime in the future :) I'm eager to learn :D

cycerin responds:

Hey! Thanks for the great review.

The strings were originally a synth melody, but I later converted them to a marcato viola patch using the soundfont Squidfont Orchestral. To get them realistic sounding I spent a lot of time editing each individual note. The piccolo flutes and other orchestrated elements are from the same soundfont, which as far as I know is available online.

The beat is a sliced, rearranged beat using a lot of samples, drumloop's something I got from a guy long ago, it's called "tighten_up" so it could be from Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up... I dunno. I prefer rearranging drum loops to constructing new ones from separate samples because it sounds warmer and less staccato.

Used FL7 for everything. :]

[Lolsorz]

Groovy

Well, apart from the beat and fx-usage, this is actually quite cool :) Did you make this in Fruity Loops? If so, drop me an e-mail @ [e-mail], and maybe we can remix this together sometime :)!

Psycedelic responds:

Haha, thanks a lot ;).
Yes, this was made in FL studio 8, but I didn't spend so much time on this.. I personally think it sucks xD. I just don't make good music :).

If you would like to remix it, be my guest!

[Day15 - Detective Fisher]

(Y)

Loving the drum solo! If this is all Reason instrument, I might want to consider the switch from FLP 2 Reason. You rock!

DJ

hopeku responds:

haha you'll get a waaaay better sound in reason than FL ;)

thanks man!

Update : (Some months later) You can get great sounds with both, all you need to do is to use them properly!

[Day18 - It's your destiny]

Awsum

Your tracks keep surprising me. This is a great new track man! I love the congos+bongos...They remind me of the game Dune (1).

Day 13 & 15 are my def. favorites! :) Can't you just make this a 365 days game? I'de love to hear a new track of you every morning I get out of bed!

DJRQ

Ps. Tell me honestly: Have you 'cheated' so far by releasing a previously made track or do you really make a new track every day?

hopeku responds:

Haha, the truth is, I cheated once with my ''zwiz'' song

I took an old beat of mine (Wich I modified a bit) but it took about 5 hours to write and record the lyrics ;)

Haha, without that, I'm totally legit. And yes, I make a new song every day when I wake up!

[Day14 - Remembering the past]

I hate you :)!

Seriously... :D <3 2 h8 u!

hopeku responds:

haha <3

Thanks :P

[Day13 - Cornflake cat]

Cornflake Cat > Food for my iPod

I love your 30 day frenzy so far! This track is 1337z0r²! Reminds me of the French electroscene alot (which is something good). If this track was to be extended I bet it could become an underground hit in the Dutch/European dance scene :D!
You're getting pretty damn good at this producing/composing thing man!!! You're developing an unique musialc identity! Keep 'em commin!

hopeku responds:

haha thanks dude!

It's good to hear that from you....

Now get Reason so we can collab hahaha ;)

Thanks
