To record this piece by Pino Daniele I send the memory of my iMac to 100%ā¦ but with the help of the Zynthian I got down to 90%.
Zynthian: Rhodes, DX7, 5strings Bass
Omnisphere: Slap bass
Native Instruments: All Brass
Omnisphere: Acoustic Guitar
Arturia: Moog solo
Arturia: Pads
EZDrummer: Drum
Voice: (unfortunately) mine
I hate electronic drumsā¦ but I had to settle for waiting for a drummer who knows how to redo what Tullio dePiscopo recorded (wonder of wonders).
As always, I welcome criticism and advice. Thank you
UPLOAD! Changed the drum sound and fixed the Moog solo @Wyleu docet UPLOAD2Transferred the midi tracks into audio tracks, inserted EddieKramer in the voice (which in the first part is out of time ā¦ to be redone), added Zynthian DX7 and removed the āfastā notes in the trumpets @ricard docet UPLOAD3 Set the voice in time (but I have to do it again) and fix the trumpetsā¦
Iād probably pace it a little faster but the lyric would then become a little crazed.
The soloās need attention on the trailing of the rif, perhaps get them more languid and sensual.
But Amazing. Really impressive. Good voice !
Far better than anything Iāve put together outside of a studio.
What keyboard are you driving the zynth from? And which order did you build things up ?
Drums first? then which instruments next?
Thanks Wyleu.
Being a pianist myself, I first record the pianoā¦ in this case a Rhodes, then I put in the bass lines. If I like everything, I start inserting keyboards and various soundsā¦ Drums (being my Achilles heel I record it lastā¦) are my weakest pointā¦ I donāt know how to play them decently and I absolutely donāt know how to program midi drumsā¦
For the speed of the piece, you have to consider that in addition to using reversed chords that Iāve been studying for a few months, the piece is in Neapolitanā¦ so itās difficult for me (Iām from the North) to pronounce it. But I have a Neapolitan friend who gave me a grade for pronunciation and itās a 7ā¦
To play the Zynthian I use an M-Audio 88 key Master keyboard.
There are some notes to fix and then I mix it better, then I always hope for the collaboration of some drummer in the worldā¦ there are none hereā¦
Many thanks.
DAW metronome (hard workā¦much better playing with a drummer)ā¦sometimes I just do the chord rests and then play the piano part more rhythmically on another trackā¦
Acoustic guitar by Omnisphereā¦ I tried to make the chords with the notes not all aligned so that it looks like a pick hit on the strings.
I heard the mp3 file was corruptedā¦now I replaced it.
Another thing that helps me while recording is singingā¦ no wordsā¦ just na na na na na
Another thingā¦ in the mp3 file the DX7 is that of Arturiaā¦ but I have to do it again with the Zynthian which has a wonderful DX7 that Arturia dreams ofā¦
The sounds are beautiful, you can humanize, the grid appears in the window where you can write the notes. You can download the file as audio or midiā¦ and a thousand other things I havenāt learned yetā¦
My daughter has learnt Latin from language apps, and is now learning Italian, which given the Englishās famous reticence about learning languages is a very positive development.
I love Italian and many of its dialects. I only use a few words in English when making international connections with my radio stationā¦ If I had the head to learn a language, I think I would learn Russian (this has nothing to do with the situation in Europe now). My big dream? An evening at the Bolshoji Theater in Moscowā¦ I come from classical musicā¦
Itās right that young people learn other languagesā¦ your children are good.
Thanks Wyleuā¦
ā¦ e grazie mille Nicola.
āLastā can be used to mean āmost recentā. Obviously it is ambiguous because it also means the final one although that tends to relay to deceased or retired people. My I hope my last song is not my last song!
