Master Of The Situation

by on February 8, 2010 in Music

I had a crack at creating some electronic music. I know, not metal. I figured I would share this, and I have never done this before, so be gentle. :-)

Check out Master Of The Situation in MP3 and Ogg format.

Created in Cubase with Halion One, a KeyRig and Drumkit From Hell.

    Hey knuckle head, that ogg should be an ogg and not an mp3 :p It made me want to hug a puppy instead of breaking in and robbing people like Severed Fifth did, but honestly, I would have to say…stick to your day job! :p just kidding, not my type but at least it was decent. snap-l, where you at, this is your cup of tea!

    Oops! Fixed!

    Cheers. :-)

    Woah. This is pretty awesome stuff. More more more!

    Hey, I like it. Until the voice-over appeared it reminded me of the Sisters of Mercy, which I think are great. Very old skool. Keep it up!

    Why did you use Cubase :’(

    Pretty nice. Didn’t like very much that the guy spoke the whole song along.

    But why use cubase? Didn’t you like the FOSS jack+ardour+zynaddsubfx+seq24/rosegarden+hydrogen killer combo? It runs out of the box in ubuntu too :)

    Awesome. :) Where’d you get the vocal track? I’m curious as to the source material.

    On a side note: typo in the ID3 Title tag: Master of The >Stiuation<

    Jono,

    well done this track. The voice track reminds me of “19″ of Paul Hardcastle (dunno if you know this guy still, coming from the 80ties)

    Which midi card did you use for the soundbeats?

    Greetings,

    The guitar arp/riff is great, so is the stringwork, but the beat can use some work. I’d go for a more drum machine sound (try some DMX samples). It’ll make the beat beefier, and probably push your sound more to the sisters of mercy.

    That’s not half bad.. I like it!

    I love all your war speeches and recounts, where do you get them?

    Nice work, I like it. Is it c.c. by sa?

    And I find it a bit sad that jokosher seemingly can’t be used for things like these yet…

    Nicely done.

    Would have been even better, though, if you had set a good example and used floss software.

    Are you going to give up the midi for remixing/reworking?

    Liking the slight goth/industrial drums and guitars in this.

    Nice snippet Jono. Looking forward to more.

    I enjoyed that, pleasantly surprised, thanks. Quite catchy too! Echoing another commenter, the drums are a little thin. If I were to change one thing it would be to try and flesh them out. Other than th, echoing another comment, the tag has Situation misspelt. (in my case it’s the vorbis comment field). Wow two comments echoed. Do I have an original thought in my head?

    Hej, as a gstreamer promoter, you should have used buzztard of course. Nevertheless a nice track. Could get some mastering, some more transitions, more variation on the drums etc. But on the otherhand you got it out (I sometimes frickle to long on the details of a song).

    Just FYI, I added this to musicbrainz for you (for those of us who like to have UUIDs for our music) — update any details you’d like (for example, if this is CC-licensed at all :D ):
