oldDog 551 Reviews	. permalink Thu, May 31, 2007 @ 10:17 AM I like this - the repetition doesn’t bother me, because it suits the poem, and the riff is very attractive. The only thing I felt was that around 3.20-ish I would have liked the space to have filled out somehow (up and down) - but with something textural, not ‘busy’…just my thoughts, I like it anyway!

	. permalink kulimu Thu, May 31, 2007 @ 12:04 PM Thanks a lot for your advice! I agree the mix gets a bit too busy and unsynced around that point. A nice little texture would solve that problem and emphasize the text as a bonus. So I’ll see what I can do…
duckett 1879 Reviews	. permalink Thu, May 31, 2007 @ 6:57 PM For increased hypnotic effect, maybe verry slow subtle fades, pans, EQ filter shifts or reverb/delay effects on the existing bass/beat/melodic tracks, while keeping the pella front and center as is? Anyway, I like a lot (would love to transcribe and record from a TTS)
	. permalink kulimu Fri, Jun 1, 2007 @ 1:03 AM I’m really enjoying the advice! I agree with you: maybe instead of adding a new element, I can just add slow envelopes to the existing stuff. I have to keep it subtle though. Sorry for the stupid question, but what’s a TTS?
	. permalink duckett Fri, Jun 1, 2007 @ 7:48 AM Text-To-Speech as in Microsoft SAM- (think Stephen Hawking). I noticed audio compression seems to introduce artifacts that remind me of voice synthesizers… speak-n-spell always cracked me up “That- is- correct!” ;)
	. permalink kulimu Fri, Jun 1, 2007 @ 11:35 AM It’s true that the rhythm of this acappella seems almost artificial at times: sounds like a super fast ‘TTS’! (I tried adding to this feeling with a slight chorus on the voice towards the end) It would definitely be inspiring to have real TTS poems on ccMixter…
sgrunt 13 Reviews	. permalink Fri, Jun 8, 2007 @ 4:14 AM i like the TTS feeling, and the track is hypnotic. Maybe you could work on vocals, cutting them and adding different Fx, however it is a good spoken track!!!
	. permalink kulimu Fri, Jun 8, 2007 @ 12:07 PM Thanks for the review and advice sgrunt. I didn’t want to add too much FX to the voice because the monotony makes it quite hypnotic I think. I completely agree about the cutting though (I could sync the vocals a bit by doing so). But I don’t know an easy way of cutting in Ableton Live. I’m sure there is one… can anybody help?
