Wolfram Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 And here is my entry for this month's composition challenge - I had a lot of fun with this one. Two harmonised guitars race bumper to bumper in a high-octane charge, wrapped around a song musing on the imminent demise of this breed of vehicle.... and perhaps their human drivers too? I present "Endangered Species". The lyrics: Spoiler Verse 1: High octane, the torque, the power. Burning the life that's had its hour. Your days are numbered; your end is near. The future's electric; that's what we fear. Chorus: Driving me around the bend. Leaving me to pick up the pieces. Here it stops, this is the end, Haven't you heard? You're an endangered species. An endangered species. Verse 2: Racing on through the city tonight. Human versus A.I. - bring on the fight! Yeah you'll reach the goal, fast and precise. But we'll live the thrill, not cold as ice. Chorus The tech stuff: DAW - Cubase 12. Bass - Dingwall Afterburner / Guitar - Jackson Soloist, both recorded with Line6 Helix Rack. Vocal mic - Rode NT1. Drums - EZDrummer 3. VST effects - iZotope Alloy on the vocals, a few instances of tempo-synced SoundToys EchoBoy on guitars and vocals, vocal and long effect reverb from Exponential Audio R4 and some glue from Lexicon MPX Native.

AndyTravis Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Nah. I’ve tried and failed again. I put too much thought into it all and then delivered a bowl of plain pasta instead of the 3 course gourmet I had in my head. in the recycle bin. 🥴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. We’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programmed drums/samples. anyhow… Edited February 23, 2023 by AndyTravis 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
