Making Some House in My Studio ...

This is a video I decided to make once I got some MIDI tracks laid out. Here's what's going down...

Cubase LE4 is doing all the sequencing. It's sequencing ALL the MIDI gear you see. There are 5 tracks, Strings, Bass, Bamboo Rods, Synth Solo, and Drums. The gear you see is my KORG Radias, Roland TR-505 and TR-626, Roland JX-3P (sadly not used in this video, it doesn't do MIDI well in it's current form...), and my newest aquisition, the Yamaha RX5. Should give me a nice and unique sound. Anyway, to be totally honest, I made this video out of inspiration, partly by watching snolan1990's House Videos. I like his style, and tried out some chords like that, and I really like it. Anyway, basically, the Radias is in charge of ALL synthesizer work, then, with it's 4 timbres it was an easy job for it. I made from scratch a string sound that sounded warm and thick enough to SORT of emulate the JX-3P's lush strings. The Bassline is like an Electric Piano patch detuned near the bottom end, and the lead is something I found in the machine. Those "Bamboo-Bells" or whatever you may want to call them are pretty cool! So for drums I just took some sounds from each machine and jammed out. I'm flipping sliders and twisting some knobs, all of it was recorded into Cubase LE4 on one single track. I boosted the bass a little (DAMN who new the 505, 626, and RX5 could make such a HUGE bass drum when combined and EQ-ed??), and a touch of compression to make everything sit a little better. Sounds pretty cool in my opinion, I think I'll make more. What do you think?

Whats that program u are using?

[VacTrooper]

@VSS2400 I'm using Cubase LE4 to sequence the synths, and record the audio in the video

thanks brah!

[skylighter15]

First of all, great!! However, I would consider clarifying the bass synth chords a bit and adding some sweet mid range chords. Overall nice!

[DeepIodok]

very nice romantic house theme!)

makes me feel so good when the melody at 3:30 starts:)

Sounds Great!!!

Well done...started to really enjoy it when the bass came in around 2:30. Then at 3:30 it takes me THERE.. Nice....!!!!!!!  I have the Radias also and I think it is a great unit. HOUSE music all night long!!!
