Bach tune in the style of Walter/Wendy Carlos

Hi everyone
I recently bought my Moog Sub 37, the first Moog product I have ever owned!
For many years I have loved the Switched on Bach sound so I thought I would have a try at creating a similar style piece.
It is Bach's Little Fugue in G made in the style of Walter/Wendy Carlos recorded and multi-tracked into Cubase 8. Then mastered using IK Multimedia's excellent T-RackS Grand with a touch of reverb from IK's CSR Hall module.

Your feedback would be most appreciated!
On the whole it is not too bad and it has the right kind of sound. I think the balance between some of the voices could be improved but generally I am quite pleased with it!
All the best
Paul, Cambridge UK

I sat at my desk this morning sipping coffee and watching hummingbirds feed outside my window as this lovely tune played in the background. A great start for my day. Thanks for doing this!

Nicely done!
(clipping/distortion aside which I'm very sensitive to - too hot recording levels? too much limiter?). Anyway well done.

This is fantastic. Ive been listening to the original Switched On record lately and it's so cool to hear something so well done at such a later date, on such a newer moog. But still has that richness of sound. Nice work!

Very well done! You can be very proud of your debut recording.
Far better than the Ill-conceived Bach To Moog by Craig Leon, the Moog sound was just buried by the strings in that. The Moogs were reduced to a subtle accent.
He had a System 55 and whole rack of Slim Phatty's and you put him to shame with your Sub 37, BRAVO!

This might upset a few people as i did it all on my minibrute before i upgraded to a sub 37...

Thanks for all your kind comments! wow, I didn't expect that
I'll take a closer look at the recording and see if I can spot where any distortion might be coming in. It could be that I slightly over-drove the input channel on my ageing Tascam US-2000 audio interface.
Or I mastered it too hot in T-RackS.
Anyway, all comments were gratefully received.
Maybe I'll have a go at some Kraftwerk stuff next!
regards
Paul
