mCKENIC Getting reacquainted #1 Fizmo Rack

Published on Sep 27, 2015 mCKENIC

"Stripping the Fizmo Rack back to one voice, no-fx, short Env and scrolling thru the waves. Must get back to using this again. Watch the sound as the monsters filter is a little hot for the camera line in at a few points."

The Astronaut's Mistress by Pinwale Sounds

"by D.Clapp, J.S. Badia with additional vocals by A.M.G.

An MFB Tanzbar, Moog Sub 37 and Juno 6 are fed into the Octatrack, then an Analog Four was used for some sequences on top. Everything was recorded into Ableton Live. Vocals were then added and put through the vocoder plug in."

Published on Sep 27, 2015 Deddi Boy

"Good to be back after almost seven years of silence!

There’s still some mileage in this old and crusty Yamaha budget sampler.
I’ve only applied some external effects at the end of the video. Not bad, eh?"
