"The Sweetest Sound" - Audiobus collaboration with LinearLineman and Daveypoo
Hi everyone!
Long time no post !
I thought that maybe some of you would be interested to hear one of the (too) rare Audiobus collaborations. No desktop allowed here! 😉
The song itself is a creation from @LinearLineman (both music and lyrics) who seems to be surfing on a very good vibe lately.
@Daveypoo came up with the arrangement "aux petits oignons" (pardon my French...) and all sound engineering wizardry. So if you have any questions about the apps used / production tips, he is the man, guys, and he rules !
I have not much merit here. I just provided my voice to sing Michael's word. It was a nice experience out of my comfort zone (I am more on a darker side usually...). One thing to notice though. No external mic used. Dave did wonders, I told you...
Lesson learned: eating candy once in a while doesn't hurt...
This forum is a nice place to hangout. A nice place to talk about music and how to create it on a thin piece of glass. Let's make it an even better place by working together.
Take good care of yourself and the one you love.

Good job - congrats on the collab! The voice is mixed a bit too low for me, but otherwise all good 👍
Thanks for the kind words @JanKun - this was fun to work on.
That's right - 100% iOS, kids!
Thanks for the feedback, @richardyot - appreciate the listen.
It was a great base performance by @LinearLineman to build the arrangement upon, and the vocal tracks from @JanKun really sat nicely in the track.
I agree - we need more collabs here. Look - we're not all going to be rock stars, but that doesn't mean we can't make some beautiful, weird, wild, crazy, unique music here anyway.
Thank you @richardyot. Your feedback is always appreciated. Hoping the day for a collab with you will come.
You might have appreciated the first rendering of my vocals I sent to Dave and Michael. The voice was so loud you could hardly hear anything else 😉
Nice collective result using the best of 3 talents and mixed nicely into a good demo of the tune.
I could see this going forward to something with even more Polish but I can't speak a single word of that language so count me out. Sorry... couldn't pass up that slow pitch.
This is why I only do first takes... I got no Polish skills.
hahahaha
Lordy
The song is quite lovely.
Thank you for your polished comment. @McD
The more I listen to the original version from @LinearLineman the more i like it. Michael's arrangement and his deep voice gave the song a very different mood. I am sure you would like it.
I have been able to hear it at every stage I think. It got better for me with me by adding more interesting rhythm but some like salt and some like salsa. I”m sure Michael appreciates getting positive feedback as anyone would when taking the risk of exposing one of your less Polish-ed talents. People can be harsh and I am probably worse than most. I’m a picky jerk. They get even tho’.
@McD
Funny you should mention interesting rhythms. I have been thinking of this since yesterday. I am sure we could come up with another version of the song consisting in complex Polish polymeters and emiola put together with a distant highly reverbed low passed filtered sine wave pad and the melody on top transposed in a long forgotten Polish minor mode. If that sounds interesting to you, we could work on it together. Your lack of Polish skills shouldn't be a drawback.
"Interesting" is a personal assessment. I have collaborations in process with @LinearLineman and @Daveypoo. I also have terrible work habits. I have some hardware
projects at the top of my queue first.
@McD @LinearLineman @Daveypoo Looking forward to hear the outcome of your collaborations, guys!
Heh - me too. What gives, @McD? Where's my track?
I know where you live...
😘
I actually have a collab or two with @Mcd. Got in under his priority wire, I guess.
I'm a terrible collaborator because I don't want to hurt the other persons feelings and
have problems deciding how to add and want to avoid deleting. A @LinearLineman track is
typically so dense but @Daveypoo has mastering and editing skills to pull something out of the track and then start shaping a new track with more emphasis on rhythms.
@Daveypoo shared a track that's a challenge to add much of value but I could just rape it for parts.
Anyway... I have not used a major DAW seriously and just find the whole experience to be like work.
Once I make the commitment to create something I'm sure I'll enjoy the process and I'll
know at least one person will listen and probably say something. @Daveypoo will be cool
even if it's crap and @LinearLineman tends to find the zits. He's just trying to be helpful. :^)
I've been coaching him on the crap sandwich technique but he's not buying it.
By taking this conversation towards collaboration as a mental block and criticism as potentially useful or constricting this music will get more listeners so there's that.
Over sharing seems to be in my DNA.
Nice work, guys.
Thanks, lady!
That's high praise from an ABF Pro with a Lifetime Achievement status... in other words a broke musician that has never given up on her pursuit to pay the bills with music.
I try to pull her out to tell stories but she doesn't tend to over share. That's another reason why she's a Pro... do the work. Talk is cheap and doesn't usually bring in a penny unless you can get a magazine writing gig or teach.
Now the @LinearLineman will mention he has 5 albums recorded and has played at the NYC Jazz clubs and written complete musicals and ya-da, ya-da BUT all while having a business that helped support his study and his purchasing.
I stopped playing for money so I could afford the tools I coveted. It worked really well. I have a lot of great toys and no credits at all.
Still keeping' it on Page 1, y'all. I know 95% of the ABF just skips our little coffee klatch. But we got no where else to go that won't just treat us poorly for TMI'ing all the time.
TL;DR? RUOK? Reading is a good thing. Writing is even better. Just sayin'.
Merci !
What apps were used to coordinate 3 musicians across multiple time zones? (I'm such a cheap shill). But collaborations requires apps and process details be followed.
Cubasis 2? Drop Box? iCloud? The Floppy Drummer? iTamborine?
Dish. We want the real story. I'll bet it took a lot of work just to move this shit around.
Just used Dropbox and Box for file transfer, mixed in Cubasis 3.
Drums are Jazz Drummer (exported as multitrack and heavily edited)
Bass is live (Fender Precision Bass)
Guitar is live (Gibson SG)
Organ is Hammond B-3X
Rhodes is Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2
Synth lead is iSEM
Effects include Kleverb, Pro-Q 3, FAC Alteza, Phase Three...
Cubasis 3? Do tell. Worth the money for any particular use case over 2?
I doubt the @LinearLineman has upgraded. So, 2 passes to 3. Not sure about @JanKun. Doesn't matter really.
Right... the floppy one. Not the Brushy one.
For the newbie... @Daveypoo is a bass player on TV.
And a guitar player as a fall back.
The $100 App. Yikes.
The King of Bottled Rhodes.
@Daveypoo likes hard to learn app mode by fellow Italians. He wants to have friends when he moves. Dual Citizenship.
Man you own a lot of apps. Dish on Cubasis 3. No one talks about it other than to say they won't get it. It has a MIDI timeline equal to the desktop DAW's... 960 PPQN be 480 in 2? Is that even noticeable when crafting a hip little funk ditty to get the right pocket happ'nin'?
@McD, I am using Audioshare as well as Dropbox. For some reason I am having a problem transferring whole projects via Dropbox.
Thank you for listening @Lady_App_titude for listening and liking.
I listened all the way through. Good one.
Thanks a lot for listening!
Some. There are a ton of improvements over C2, but C3 isn't as polished/stable as C2. I chalk it up to time - let C3 be around for another 6 months and they'll get the bugs worked out. Right now it's a bit of a fight still.
Worth it for the realism.
Ah, but not limited to!
Start a YouTube channel reviewing apps and so will you!
See above
I don't even know what you're talking about. So, clearly not.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr @Lady_App_titude Thanks for listening, both of you. I appreciate it and am glad you liked it!
Sure... when you get your hands on your organ you want it to feel as real as possible in a virtual world.
That really sounds like a 2nd job. I prefer hobbies and general private research.
OK. Everyone waits... Hopefully Yamaha will keep funding the effort to make some payback.
Sorry... the precision of a DAW is based upon it's internal clock for creating timelines.
Auria Pro was developed around click that's 2x (I think) and it allowed it to record/playback
at 960 divisions per second.
Cubasis 2 could provide 480 divisions per second for accuracy. I was wondering if we can even hear the difference.
Cubasis 3 was re-written with 2x internal Clock Rate and can serve up 960 accuracy.
PPQN is the rate at with a quarter note is sub-divided. Sometimes, I see this internal max accuracy listed as the PPQN spec.
If this is inaccurate someone with assist and make me look like a fuck up and I appreciate knowing when I make mistakes. It happens so rarely. This I put the person helping out on my shit list of jerks. They already have me on theirs for writing up long explanations without doing any homework or fact checking. So, sue me... wait... don't do that. I'm sorry... really sorry.
We still on page 1? It's so easy to game this site for extra eyeballs.
