Do Robots Dream? (TAL-U-NO-LX)
This is a music track that I improvised on an iPad with the TAL-U-NO-LX synth app. I used MIDI Tape Recorder (within AUM) to capture the performance and AUM to record the audio.
After bringing the AUM recording over to my PC, I applied the Lurssen Mastering Console plug-in to the audio mix within Vegas Pro.
It's titled Do Robots Dream?

Nice! Love the visuals David. I might have to pick up Vegas Pro on the PC sometime. Maybe wait for a sale if they ever have them?
They do seem to run sales and promotions fairly often, bundled with various video plug-ins, They're always nagging me to upgrade to the latest version.
Very nice. Reminds me on early Klaus Schulze.
I really like this. With the sun now on full outside, this is quite the perfect Spring song.
Thanks, @krassmann and @ervin. Much appreciated.
I had forgotten how good Klaus Schulze was in his early days.
Spent part of my weekend catching up on Schulze, and I stumbled on this video of him performing live in 1977.
@DavidEnglish I’m a huge fan of the early Klaus Schulze. I think what we can see on this video is his modular Moog System 3p that was his main synthesizer from the mid seventies. It was still in use until 2005 when he sold it on ebay. http://www.till-kopper.de/ksmoog.html
I think he is quite an underrated musician. Everyone knows Tangerine Dream where he was briefly a member of. I think if you would ask 1000 random Germans on the street, not even 10 would know him. For me he was an early master of hypnotic very repetitive but nonetheless deep electronic music.
I think your song and our discussion here inspired me to try to create a song in this spirit, too. Thanks for the link. Interesting concert setup with him sitting on the ground turning his back to audience and the great mirror hanging above him. The audience could really study his performance then.
How are your experiences with the Lurssen Console? I got it during the IKM 25th anniversary sale but I did not not really use it so far.
I use it mostly on the PC side. As a Vegas Pro compatible plug-in, I can integrate it into the final mix. I usually start with the "Classical (Warm)" preset, and then adjust the parameters from there. At this stage of the process, I can preview the music with the visuals, so that becomes a factor in any adjustments.
For me, it gives the music more clarity and warmth. It almost always sounds better with it, than without it.
Lol, I know it was almost a half century ago, but now, gratefully, this is pretty standard fare even on an iPad. Of course the lightbulb has gotten a lot better, too.
However, I imagine, if I were in the audience, stoned out in 1977, I would have had a rush. Now we can make something like this in an hour lying in our beds…. Probably better.
Yes!! 🤝 I always get the exact same feeling watching these early synth wizards.
Another good example is the BBC's "Tubular bells live" video where Mike and the Gang are mostly playing 4-bar loops manually for half an hour. 🙂 In fairness though, quite a few iOS apps would fail because of the odd timing of that one.
