E.T. Soundtrack Medley and KI2 Tusk theme

Here is my latest “SRX” movie theme remix, “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial – Adventures On Earth SRX”.  I spent quite a bit of time on this one.  It uses most of the Expansion boards I have between the Roland XV-5080 and Fantom XR! (SRX: 02, 03, 04, 06, 07, 09, 10)  I think it came out really well!

I also recorded a remix of “Tusk’s theme” from “Killer Instinct 2″!

Enjoy!

A random MIDIviaNet session with Andre

A couple nights ago my friend Andre and I were messing around with MIDIviaNet, he was tapped into my Korg X5DR.

What the heck is MIDIviaNet???  It’s a cool little app that allows you to connect to a MIDI device over the Internet!

How does that work?  Well, MIDIviaNet only sends/revieces MIDI data, not actual audio.  In order for Andre to hear the sound that was coming out of the synth from across the Atlantic, we used a really long Dixie-Cup Phone…

…what?

Ok, we used TeamTalk!  What does that mean?  The short version is, Andre plays music from his place, I hear it “live”, and then he hears it a few seconds later because of the various delays involved in the process of sending the TeamTalk audio.  So to do this and play anything coherent requires a fair amount of work knowing how to keep your timing!  Or you can have a ‘substitute’ sound respond to you live at the “player’s side”.

Anyway, what follows is the result of all that.

I also made a quick remix/song from one bit which is pretty cool.  Enjoy!

MOTU 24I/O First Recording Tests

Still working on re-wiring my gear into the new MOTU, and setup all my audio software on the new Synth-Studio Tower.  I made some fresh recordings from one of my favorite games ever The Secret of Monkey Island!  I also recorded a couple other things.  Over all, the MOTU sounds fantastic!  Now it’s just a matter of me putting everything back together.

Anyway, enjoy the recordings!

Meet Synth-Studio Tower!

I finished building my newest PC a little while ago.  Just the other day (at time of writing) I replaced the motherboard due to a bug in the Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard chipset Serial ATA Controller with it’s new, bug-free version.

Long ago, for the first time, I built my own PC.  Then, I built another.  Then another, and another.  This is one of them.

Surprisingly, that went through with zero issues I’m happy to report!  I thought at least I would have to re-create my RAID 10 array, and re-image the machine from a backup.  However, it found my array and booted right up!  Way to go Intel/Asus!

I decided to take some photos of it, they came out alright, as the lighting in my room is not great.  Check them out below.

What, you don’t want to look at stupid pictures you’re a computer expert?  What are “specs”?  Why do you want to know about what kind of glasses I have???

System Specs:

Chassis:  Silverstone Fortress (FT02 in Black)
Power Supply:  Silverstone Strider 1200 Watt PSU (ST1200)
Motherboard:  Asus P8P67 Deluxe (B3 Revision)
CPU:  Intel Core i7 2600k Quad Core CPU (2nd Generation Core i7 ”Sandy Bridge”)
CPU Heatsink:  Prolimatech Super Mega Twin Tower CPU Cooler
Memory:  2x G.Skill Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600 8GB 2x4GB Kit
GPU:  2x Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX570
HDD:  4x 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA3Gb/s (in a RAID 10 array)
Optical Drive:  LG 10x Blu-Ray Burner

On Back-Order:  MOTU 24I/O Recording System with PCI Express interface card  (still waiting for this beastie at time of writing.)


Now, the photos!

A few more random recordings

Here are a few more random songs I have recorded recently.  Enjoy!
  • My newly remixed covers from Doom.
    These were fun!  They use mainly the Roland XV-5080 and some new guitar patches I’ve made which are combinations of waveforms from various SRX boards.  Also features the really cool Roland PMA-5 on drum tracks for all three songs.


  • My remix of my friend Andre Louis’ song The Improbability Factor.
    Cool song!  Uses both Roland Fantom XR and XV-5080, various SRX sounds.  I don’t remember if there’s some SC-8850 in there.

    • Download The Improbability Factor

  • My remix of a song from the RPG Brandish 4.
    The soundtracks from those Japanese RPG’s are always pretty serious business, in a good way!  This song uses the Fantom XR and XV-5080 SRX Sounds with the SC-8850 on drums and a couple other patches.

    • Download Brandish – Soldiers

  • A funny MIDI remix draft of Michael Jackson’s song Beat It. Ever wonder what the vocals would sound like as a synth with a formant filter effect?  I think the guitar solo came out nice as well.  This song uses the Fantom XR, XV-5080, SC-8850, and Yamaha MU128.  I named it after a patch from the MU128 that is used for the intro synth.
