Corybant by rogwinyt

Home studio electronic dance (ish) techno (ish) music made with Atari, Cubase, Yamaha SY35 and DX7, Korg Poly 800 pus another Atari with Replay 16 sampler.

This track is probably 5 minutes too long for its own good (what d'ya mean 9 minutes) and even then I had to fade it out a minute before the end to stay within YouTube's 10 minute limit.

I'm putting my music on YouTube so I can get some honest opinions about it and maybe some constructive criticism.

Sounds good! Reminds me of when I was doing the same thing with similar hardware. Now I do everything in computers. Have you thought about remixing in modern software?

Thanks pantoum. I made all these tracks from 1993 to 1998 when I was unemployed. Since 2000 I've been building up my own small business and now that it almost runs itself I thought I'd start making music again but this time like you on the computer - I've got Reason. But first I want to get all my existing stuff (warts and all) on YouTube to get some honest opinions, good and bad (none of the latter yet) and then start making some new tracks in Reason.

Sounds awesome. Actually, I was thinking that if you still have the individual tracks to these songs, you could import them in to a program like cubase andd use compressor, reverb, and gating plugins to give these songs that "commercial" sheen. These songs sound great and with a little modern remastering they sound on par with any music made in the 90's

They were all made using cubase (v1.2 I think) on an Atari 1040ST. Most of the equipment belonged to a friend (who you can hear on a track I've just uploaded called My Friend Who Grunts) and all my music was mastered to my hi-fi audio tape and I'm now getting all of it from the tapes on to my computer. If you know of any cheap or free software that will give it that commercial sheen please let me know.

Thanks. I like the convenience of software but I love the old hardware so I know you're right. I'm busy right now collecting analogue synth samples from YouTube and I'll have a go on Reason at making some stuff that I can be fairly proud of.
