[gem]

This time I managed to hear them as well.  Nice one Eddie, how do you do it?

[jpk]

This may be a longshot - but i'd say he uses a PC  :)

[Eddie]

Um...its simple...I use Cubase to record them and then email them in - They've lways been played on the next show after I send them i.e I sent the ones they played today at half twelve this morning.<br><br>I guess they play all of them becuase nobody else is sending in any decent new musical versions of the song, most people tend to send in the ones that are the original version with speaking in the gaps..very funny but if you send those you get more competition!<br><br>What with my Dance mix that started the whole remix thing and my rock dityy, brass band, sea shanty and * knees up version I have had about 7 or 8 minutes of Prime time Radio 1...nice!   Yes I am boasting!!!! ;D<br>

so do u actually do any work on them on cubase or does it have preset thingies. i have no clue about cubase.

[Eddie]

Cubase is basically a mixing  desk and hard dsik recorder for your computer - a studio in a box so to speak. It allows you to add and layer as many tracks of audio or midi you want and then play them in sequence over the top of each other at a set tempo. For the guitar one I started by laying down a drum track (Plugged my keyboard into the computer, pressed play on the keyboard and record on cubase and then the drums were edited (Reverb and eq added etc) next I set up my bass amp with a bass mic and recorded me playing the bass line over the drums, then this was edited and when played back you can hear the drums and bass (you set the levels on a virtual mixer accordingly) Next I recorded me playing my guitar through my amp etc etc etc...you get the picture - just liek what they'd do in a studio altough their set up would be far bettre, better mixing desk, better effects better everything. I di the same sort of thing, layering tracks etc for the other three I did except they were all midi tracks instead of Wav files- basicallyCubase is a muli track recorder that can handle as many audio tracks as your memory/computer can handle playing simultaneously - its quite a lot of work to produce just short pieces like I have which is why Chris mocks me for having too much spare time!  ;)<br><br>Lecture over, hope you understand more now!

[Uglybob]

i take it cubase is expensive or did you nick it from someone, you know a really heavy metal slipknot one would be funny to do with you squealing and squawking on it.

[Jonny Hoare]

why not try  a garage one eddie- with daniel bedding field or even the so solid krankies

[Eddie]

I thought about Garage but the tempo of Will's music is much to fast for Garage,I could slow it down ...it might work, but I might give up while I'm ahead.<br><br>Cubase is expensive if you actually pay for it (Which I did) but of course you can get dodgy copies. I paid £500 for mine about 5 years ago but I think it is cheaper now

[jpk]

OK - in the time between the last three posts i just downloaded it from morpheus - saving myself £500 and wasting some more disk space seeing as i'll probably never use it

[Uglybob]

how big is the file

[Lawrie]

well done eddie the brass band one was my fave<br><br>"DRLOZBAKER crowns eddie king of wills music"

[jpk]

its 16mb compressed - i've scanned it with norton and i'm installing in now!

[Jonny Hoare]

reggae version- with added yeah mannn<br>classical string quartet version<br>rap version

[Eddie]

Why don't you do them then Jonny? <br><br>Which Version of Cubase is it - you want at least cubase VST not just cubase, th audio on cubase (Before VST) was rubbish (By the way VST = Virtual studio technology) <br><br>They must have chipped that version you've downloaded coz my bought version needs a special "copy protection key" inserted into the printer port on the computer before you can run the prograame - I hope after you've doownloaded it you don't have that problem AND I hope it comes with online instructions becasue it is very complicated without a manual!

[jpk]

I've used similar software - seems ok. I've got a crack for it also 47kb<br><br>Its Cubase VST version 5.0 revision 6

[Lawrie]

i tried to do the mix using microsoft sound recorder......

[jpk]

I've done mixes using a simple little program called audacity - its really easy to use.
