    Hi Jim. This started out with Nambu. I discovered that in a recent member’s post and decided I had to have it. I hadn’t bought a new synth for a long time, and I heard a lot of possibilities.

    I was going to use Nambu exclusively, but as it developed, I went in a different direction. Ironically, the title was inspired by your Western themed post! Because of my strange approach to composing, it’s often difficult to remember what instruments I used. I work exclusively with chunks of audio. That is, I will create a short MIDI phrase and try it with a lot of different synths until I find something I like. When something sounds good, I freeze it. I repeat the process over and over and arrange them across tracks in Cubasis. This particular song has 41 tracks with over a hundred short audio clips scattered within them. The biggest advantage to this approach is that it allows me to have lots of different parts. I tried doing multiple parts in AUM, but after a while it becomes too difficult for me to handle. I never really liked the physical mixing process, and this method allows me to set individual levels once and forget about it until the final mix. I use the fade out function to accomplish those types of effects. You can really hear that in the last few seconds of this song where I go from that crazy metal clusterfuck back to the original opening theme. I can’t imagine trying to do that smoothly with faders! Another benefit is that the final mix down process is really fast. Even with 41 tracks, the mix down takes only a few seconds.

    Another thing about this approach is that I can have multiple keys in a song. I like the effect of suddenly changing keys, sometimes. That’s just something I like to do once in a while. Like you, I was brought up learning music the old school way. It’s not for everyone, but it feels natural to me.

    If I fail to include a list of products it’s not that I’m trying to hide the process, it’s just that I don’t keep notes as I go. I guess I’m just lazy in that respect. Couple that with a few drinks and, well…

    Thanks for the like on SoundCloud! Have a good one, bro.

    I definitely got to get into Nambu for sure! I have it and haven't used it yet. Ah, such is GAS. 😂

    I had a feeling it was. You made a great title too. ☺️

    Same here! I should try to change keys myself.

    Ahaha! 😂 Now I see.

    Thank you, Rene. I’m not sure why I included that last metal bit. I assembled it after I got home, taking my wife out for her birthday. It must have been the wine! Oh well… Have a good one!

  • Very nice tune. I particularly enjoyed the noisy but toward the end.

    Thank you. As I mentioned to @ReneAsologuitar, I had a few and I was thinking… WTF! Glad you enjoyed it. Peace out!

    That’s what my youngest boy would always say. I carry on the memory.

    Thank you, Tony. Starved Rock State Park is a real place. It holds a special place in my heart. Me and my wife and the boys loved to go there. We’re going there tomorrow for Memorial Day.

    Thanks for the like!
