post your voyager sounds

Let’s get a thread going with Voyager videos and recordings. . . I would love to see/hear what everyone has been up to with their beastly behemoth. :smiley:

(I’m still working on one, it’ll be up soon).

Hi

Im a longtime-lurker on this terrific forum…I guess a piece of music would be a great way to introduce oneself :slight_smile:

Here´s a spacey-ambient piece I´ve done. All sounds are done on my Voyager:

The piece is from ambient album released a couple of months ago. It´s called “Book Of Fixed Stars” and features 10 tunes done on analog synths…

Please enjoy

What?!
No Drum MAchine?!?! :smiley:

Very tasty timbres!

Best,

Here is a song with only 1 Voyager RME but multitracked a lot :smiley:
A little bit of Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre touch on the production.

My AE Voyager with a Radias. The Guitar sounds are a overdriven resonator gtr.
This is for my Raised By Machines project.

Sounds really good, guessing there was some effects though. esp. per the drone? nice work!!

Wow. Really cool sounds, everyone. Now I’m a little embarrassed to post mine. :laughing:

Ah well, here’s a little trippy ditty I worked out in my hotel room on the road with Voyager (multi-tracked), EHX DMM, and MF-108. Recorded into Ableton Live. Let me know what you all think. Any advice/recommendations for recording technique/quality will be greatly appreciated.

no need to be embarrassed, sounds real y nice !!

Here’s my latest upload http://soundcloud.com/ianman/ascent-one (warning: berlin school ! :open_mouth: )

thanks, fyvewytches.

Very cool piece, I really enjoyed it. You’ve definitely got some scoring skills, I’d like to see that accompany a good film. :smiley:

Me too !!! I would love to do film music.

Actually the only time I got paid to make music was for a documentary… but I was still just a guitarist back then !

I hear a lot of ex-Voyager owners whinging about how it’s not rough and hard enough… OK, sure I think it’s true nature is deep, smooth and complex, but I personally have no trouble coaxing guts out of it.

The bassline in this tune is made with a voyager - there is a little processing but not a lot.

So heres one that features the voyager on lead:

My influences are mainly Jarre, Oldfield and Kraftwerk but not sure how much of those are in here or how you would classify it other than electronica.

Anyway this is the short un-mixed version, the full version will be available on YouTube when it’s finished.

Please enjoy (or not, lol)!


Kind Regards

This is the first recording I have done with my Voyager! Just finished it a few minutes ago. :smiley:

Kenneth,

That is nice. Ambient but percussive as well. Reminds of something from a movie soundtrack.
I pictured a busy park downtown at rush hour.

Nice, easy going music piece there, Kenneth ! I liked the “glide” sound starting at around 4 minutes…

Nice guitar playing too, by Nathan. Kudos to you guys.

P.S. A small piece of nitpicking if I may, the “volume pumping” caused by the (too) heavily compressed recording (or overuse of a limiter possibly), removes any kind of subtleties and blends everything into a pulp. You should let the music “breathe” a little more. But then again, the way it is now, maybe that’s what you were looking for ? If so, simply disregard this post scriptum.


Al.

Hey, Alien, thanks for the critique! I agree with you completely, I think a lot of the intricacies of the song are cloaked by overcompression. I still have a lot to learn about music production and mastering, and this is certainly a portrayal of that. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out after a little more tinkering.

I’m glad you can take constructive criticism. And I want to point out that it is strictly a technical issue, and in no way affects the high quality of the music content.

If you heard some of my first synths recordings back in 1984 on tape, you wouldn’t believe the crappy sound quality ! I’ve learned a lot since then, sometimes by trial and error…and mostly errors ! :laughing: :unamused:

I’m always open to critique, which is why I post my work here. Most of the people I know don’t understand enough of what I do to give me any valuable advice. There aren’t a lot of producers in my area who understand electronic music ether, which is why I’ve taken it upon myself to try to learn how to do it myself.

I must admit to having a lot of fun jamming with a synth lead sound from my Minimoog on your track “Outer Earth Part 1 by Symbol Swan”. I really like that one Kenneth. :smiley:

Hey, thanks a lot! That one is a couple years old now, but I guess it is still relevant. I get embarrassed when people tell me they like my older stuff, just because I’m so critical of myself. I always think “yuck, I didn’t know anything back then!”

In all honesty, there’s not a bit of analog in that song. All Arturia software and samples. I sampled myself striking a cardboard box and used that as the kick sound.
