Ver Tudo
Ver TudoA vaguely opaque short story about a small establishment in New Orleans providing "metaphysical services". Sometimes the echos last... As always; written, recorded, arranged and mixed using SONAR Platinum. The velvet walls (dark red) Thick curtains are drawn down tight (there's no light) It's not too long (too long now) A feeling that I can't stay... Ver Tudo A sparrow speaks (hear its song) You don't have to be your fear (fear's too near) For nights too long (too long now) Will bring you to your return... Ver Tudo As the room spins out of control, it feeds your doubt Bring it back to life, bring it into being Eyes closed, exposed Drawn in, forced out, made real... Unconcealed The velvet walls The curtains are open The night too long Is nowhere to be again... Ver Tudo

SteveC Mix GearfestPuremixContest
SteveC Mix GearfestPuremixContestMy take on the Liza Colby Band’s ‘Oh Baby’, as part of the online PureMix contest. Mixed in Cakewalk SONAR X2a using all included plugins: Mostly ProChannel modules, a few Sonitus FX thrown in for good measure, one Amp Sim, and Console Emulation on everything. The only exceptions are the occasional vocal harmonies that were generated using Melodyne in Presonus Studio One v2.5 (via ARA), and added back into the SONAR project. My only artistic goal was to make something that sounded interesting to me. I've heard cleaner mixes, but I was picturing something a little more raw/saturated, yet with good separation.
