Song using Minimoogs

I'm new here, so if this is in the wrong forum, I appologize. My only purpose is to share a song that uses the minimoog.
This song was originally done around 1980 when I got my first Minimoog-I
owned a Moog Sonic 6 at the time, but it had become unstable-like it's user,
and I was forced to buy a Minimoog for 'backup'.
This song was written exclusively for the mini and was first recorded using
multiple cassette players-dubbed back and forth countless times until the
amount of added noise was unbearable. The passing of Robert Moog had inspired me to re-record this song again.
With this remake, no midi sequencing was used with the exception of a few
drum samples triggered by the DR-008.
"Sonic Symphony"

Unfortunately the original version is cooked.

Larry,
You are my new hero. Great song! (as are the others). Reminds me of another, 'faster' Larry. lol.
Since I believe in compensation (or a close proximity thereof), I have to ask if you have any CD's or anything for purchase -- before I start downloading the ones on soundclick, that is!

Thanks again

Larry -
Excellent work!
Hope you don't mind, but I posted a link to "Sonic Symphony" on the SquareWave site, in the Song Links folder.
Let us know when your CD is available!
Cheers,
Greg

Hello Larry.
All I can say is WOW ! I have a new Voyager and I was thinking of doing up a similar project, but an orchestral arrangement of a well known tune.
How many tracks did you put down for your creation ?? Recorded on ? Effects?
Just wondering, as it must have taken some time to get it all together!
Again, great job, I look forward to the CD also, count me IN !
Regards and well wishes for completion of your project.

Thanks for the kind words Gary! Appreciate it.
The song used 43 tracks-10 of which were moogs
Recorded using Sonar 2.2XL with Windows98SE
AMD 1800....(not the most potent set-up, but since I do most of my playing 'live', I basically used the computer like a huge tape deck....and...If it ain't broke-don't fix it
I used some EQ, compression, delay, etc on individual tracks.
The final mix was imported into Wave Lab and I used Waves plugs-some EQ, Multiband compression, and the L2 at the very end.
Thanks again!

Hi Larry,
your sonic symphony sounds very great! that's really moog sound at its best!
What a pity that Bob Moog himself cannot hear that fine peace of music anymore!
I'm really blown away
and looking forward to your CD to hear more of it in even better quality. (I think that the mp3-codec can't handle the full and rich moog sound of your complex arrangement adequately.)
43 tracks, man, sounds like a lot of work! (and I know what I'm speaking of, being myself an audio engineer!)
Really great job! Keep on "mooging" so well
Best Regards
Johannes
