ok....i had to find it, ul it and make a stub file so it will stream...
this is the first thing i did with pc recording. the ONLY thing you are hearing on this piece
instrumentally, is the built in MIDI capabilities that my soundblaster sound card had available. sound cards have built in MIDI voices, which include different drum and other instrument sounds (guitar, organs, synth), that are accessible through the qwerty board, some are chessy, some sound pretty good.
ALL of these sounds were accessed throught the 'qwerty' keyboard. that means for drums and percussion, i would be tapping on the computer keyboard in the rhythm i wanted, with each letter being a different drum voice (snare, bass drum, hi-hat etc.) and the same is true for all the other musical 'voices'. i was playing the qwerty like it was an 88 key keyboard, with each letter being a different note on the scale for each particular voice. so this song is ALL MIDI, every bit of it EXCEPT for the vox tracks i layed on it with a cheapo radio shack microphone that i had laying around.
it's weirdly titled because this was the phrase the melody came off of, and it was just an experiment to learn, so i left it as is. it sounds kinda of ethnic/african or something...but i think you'll get the picture. it's called:
Kharme' Yoogi Zuppa
so...this is with NO instruments ie, guitars, bass, real keys or even a drum machine. just to show that even with
just the software (this was done with cakewalk 7 i believe), a reasonable sound card , and a crappy old mic, something can be created.
questions?
