I have noticed myself that I changed the way I make tracks / compose songs since a year ago.
I have been a guitarist and and it is my main instrument, but for recordings, I play others like bass and synth.
When I made the song "Cart," I believe I started from Kawaii K-1 II vintage synth (is 1989 already called vintage???).
There are a few sounds I have linked in K-1 II and still use it.
But, I used to recorded guitar at first on most of songs.
Specially, when I wrote a riff and do the rest part while recording on soft ware, Logic.
But, I never ever used the score function too much until I worked with classical players who cannot play by chords.
It was hectic since I was not familiar to use the function in Logic, but it was very educational.
These days, I have recorded some of the songs I wrote long time ago.
Before I recorded guitar and vocal, I just used the soft samplers in Logic and programmed the vocal part and chords by acoustic piano. it really really gave me a fresh way to look at the song and gives me a better whole picture of the song.
With Midis/software instruments, I can easily transpose, change the tempo and change to other instruments.
I came from a rock band and really liked organic groove and loved to play bass. But, now, I even program the bass part but include my emotion and knowledge as a musician.
As I mentioned from the last blog, I was very old school and spoiled to analog way to create music and never accepted much of digital tool as I do now. Partially, software instruments sound amazing and not too expensive at all. Partially, it is my new phase to do something different to me, maybe not to the others.
Going back to the issue of using piano as a tool to sketch a big picture of a song, it actually did not end up as a temporary drawing, it has become a part of my powerful instrument in tracks. You may hear alot of piano by Ivory II on my recent track, Eternal Light.
I am always between players mind and engineer mind, software and hardware.
Sometimes I have no desire to buy things and suddenly i get new desires to try out new and old things i never try before.
sometimes, i am in a mood and the other time i am totally opposite. i believed in analog world but at this moment, i am seeking and facing to the digital world of today. not until recently (old school 16/44.1), I started using 24 bit / 48khz, it's changing. i am in more hi-fi mode.
I used to like very dry sound, no reverb on vocal, during early 2000. but now, i am dying to use alot of reverb for many instruments. Not only reverb, but i may also add delay for vocal and guitar on gig. Yes, I like delay and the Edge (laugh), but I never ever thought of using it for cafe bossa yoshi world. I wish I could control and carefully choose reverb for certain song in my gig. i may acquire some hard ware for reverb by the upcoming my new gig on September 14. Let's see...
つい最近まではアナログテープや機材がベストだと思っていました。でも、つい最近、本当につい最近、ようやく24 bit / 48khzで録音し始め(2年ぐらい前まで16 bit /44.1 khzでした。。。)、それから一気に音の天井が高くなり、見えないものが見えるようになりました。それにより、音の縦横、そして奥行感が見え始めました。 2000年以降、特にボサノバをやるようになってから、録音は全くドライな音の傾向にありました。しかし、最近、急にマインドが変わり、歌やギターにリバーブやディレイに使いたいと思うようになりました。確かにディレイやU2のThe Edgeも好きですが(笑)、Cafe De Yoshiなボッササウンドにそういうサウンドを使うとは思いませんでした。今後のライブでも、できれば曲ごとにエコーの掛り具合を調整したいとは思ってます。9月14日にライブをやりますが、それまでにリバーブのハードウェアを導入するかもしれません。
