Hi Paul!
Is that your voice Rene as Darth Vader?
Yep! I thought when re-constructing the track with my own sounds I should also do the voice. And with the aid of state of the art software, even a I can keep a tune! Dieter Meier might not be the best singer in the world, but he surely has a very destinctive voice. I had a closer look(with my ears) to the Zebra tracks... amazing... I don't know what Boris is doing with the original tracks he records from Dieters mic, but he surely knows how to make them fit in the track. Which I find a very hard job. I just burst away in the mic, record and pray to the gods at Steinberg GMBH that one of their tools will have the power to do the trick.
you have the distinct > advantage that you actually know what your doing, and not just what you want.
hmmm... I'd like to add, that to every track that is released into public amongst friends, there's atleast 20 that will never survive judgement by music lovers. The biggest help or mechanism for me to come up with something okay is still the hardware and software. Therefor I think I'm more a programmer than a musician.
urgle burgle durgen dutch to me.
grin, smile, cool.... :-) I'll post the translation of my two e-mails that I got from Start-ab. Funny is though that I did what tehey asked, but my account is still not activated or completed. Perhaps their whole engine behind the site is not yet ready (just like the english and frensh translations) This saddens me, and makes me feel a bit wierd about their seriousness. But then again... I might be jumping to conclusions.
recommendations for software and hardware would be. Tah.
I'd prefer not to answer that :-). It might increase the competition :-) Kidding!!!!!!!!!!! Who ever want's to know what I got or use, just drop me a line, and I'll reveal my tools (the electronic ones ;-) and give some tips related to budgetting stuff. However, I like to point out that I'm also as blind as a batt sometimes in what's available. I just test and try anything that I can lay my hands on and choose what suits me best. So my judgement on software and hardware is not really objektive.
The Yello site that myself and Raphy are working on is nearing completion,
Oehhhh I can't wait to see it!!! Some time back I wanted to do the same and make a complete site with more side details on Yello, collaborators, and Dieter and Boris themselves, but that too ended up in the fridge. My fridge is loaded with ideas, but I lack time and perhaps a channeled devotion to make them all come alive. - Darth Vader: Luke, you are my son! Luke: O' way cool! Where can I get the plugin to make my voice like that!!!??? George Lukas: Cut! Cut!!! Please stick to you're lines mr. Hammilton! R2D2: prr. plip. puh-he hoe. Luke: O'way cool! Where can I get that ringtone!!!??? George Lukas: Oh man.... Chewy: uahhahhhhahheeerrrrhhh (i know what you mean!)
