It's been 9 months but I'm back in business. Here's a quick tutorial on some techniques I use to create pads and atmosphere in my tracks.

Hey, wouldn't mind knowing what VST you used for the Vox, waldorf largo maybe? something with wavetables yeah?

@tekkentool Aw dang! I didn't see this comment come in. If you're still wondering (4 months later) I'm pretty sure I used Massive to create the pad/vocal synth.

Thank you so much for sharing! What an awesome atmosphere. You make really awesome music too for sure!:D Btw. Listening to this tutorial with headphones is wierd. Sounds like your voice is .. out of phase on one side or something:P

Where can i find the track in the outro btw?

[AnodyneIndustries]

@konsept13372 haha yeah I know next to nothing about recording or setting up screencast software. I've tried to get a good setup going but in the end I gave up. I think on one of those videos I was actually using my studio headphones as a mic because I didn't have one hahaha. You can find the outro track on "The Gateway EP" that was released (FREE) through the IDMf Netlabel.

man these are really awesome tutorial videos youve got! glad you decided to make them, I'm really loving your music as well! Out of curiousity, do you play any instruments?

[AnodyneIndustries]

@blooandwhite I've got some CDs burnt and backups on a hard drive or two. I honestly don't think anyone's ever heard this stuff other than friends and family. If you're seriously interested I can host it for you and send you a link. Just send me an email to Anodyne.One@gmail.com and I'll hook you up.

@AnodyneIndustries Hey dude, I have heard your stuff in IDMF and it's bad ass... and I am from India (Asia) I have your album on my PSP and I listen to it everyday :D

[blooandwhite]

@AnodyneIndustries excellent! sorry for all the questions, but is there any chance youve got that video game stuff uploaded anywhere? id love to hear it

[AnodyneIndustries]

@blooandwhite @blooandwhite Hmmm I've been producing electronic music since 1998-1999. I wrote a lot of video game soundtrack type stuff. I didn't start writing this Anodyne Industries type of heavy bass/breaks until the beginning of 2009.

@AnodyneIndustries right on! Mind if i ask how long youve been working with music/music software for? from a drummers POV your stuff feels really natural and musical :)
