something in never noticed in GX1 solo

fuck me, the more i listen to this track and the more insignificant yet strange details i find out.

at 3:42 and 3:43, you can hear two 'clicking' noises that were probably made by richard during the recording.

A+ thread!

i love the bit at 2:47 when i'm reminded of the fact i'm wasting my life.

lovely bit, that.

the bit at 3:50 when the bass and lead voice do a counterpoint melody. I love that part. Is that counterpoint?

I remember listening to this song, in an empty flat when moving in, I was fixing the floors, painting walls, building furniture, unpacking etc. gx1 solo was running during the whole time for days and hours on repeat while I was digesting my past. Everytime I hear it I'm thrown back. Hope you like my little story, lots of love to you cunts.

personally I like delay a whole lot more than I do reverb

a delay with a really low send volume so you barely notice it, it just sort of fills up the mix slightly more and makes the sudden dropoff in volume at the end if you don't have much of a release envelope a bit more palatable without sacrificing the abrupt nature off it.

I'm off to withdraw some money from the ATM machine.

me too

Don't worry, I will test this on my dad's stereo when I get home from the CD version in my home built anechoic chamber to test the timbres of the sounds in Richard's room. From there I will map the shape of it by taping a bat to my desk and looking into its brain to use the echolocation and find out where everything is. I will become the Daredevil with less Ben Affleck.

Funny we've got a thread about GX1 Solo going - I think I found something that sounds remarkably similar to the "prick!" at the beginning.

Not that he actually sampled that, but still, I got a chuckle.

i like the bit when it goes 'briauuu'.

 

 

 

Btw this is the first time I've head the track on headphones and I honestly don't hear any difference after the 8 second point, there's entirely the same acoustics throughout ... (well except for some direct line-in sounds at 2:11 & 2:30 for example, the sections where there's "the recurrent paper-like sound effects" as mentioned by the original post)

That at 2:11 & 2:30 for me is "sound of pouring sand in a tube" like...different balance of the mix - last seconds without when it goes 'briauuu'. Eery track - massive

Darn, never noticed those sand effects before. They are obvious as hell now that you pointed them out to me.

Yesss! Point for me ;)

There is also a plane or train going by right at the end of the song in the very last piece of silence.

the one at 2:11 i think is just a bit edited in reverse so its the snare going backwards. I dont know about the bit at 2:30

could be scratchy pots. common issue on analog gear

the first 8 seconds sound like theyre from a completely different device then being matched by the stuff that comes in at 9 seconds. The rustling sounds a sprinkler hitting the window every so often

"(A quick taxonomy: "reverb" and "echo" are often used interchangeably, but really echo is when sound repeats—"Hello!... hello!.. hello!"—and it almost always happens outside. Reverb is an indoors phenomenon that occurs when there's not enough distance for delays, and it results in a continuous ring until fading."

wat.

oh,

elusive, clearly you have never read up on reverb or acoustics or anything like this. so here, read this:

reverb: this is what happens when you're in the shower singing and it sounds lush. this occurs only when the length of your vocal range is multiplied by the area of the room + dampening (think: when you put a towel over something, it muffles or "dampens") + the height of the room (this is called "decay", i.e. how long it takes for sound to fall -- or "decay" -- from the ceiling to the floor). most reverb units are based on these principles.

spring reverb. this is when you plug your sounds into an amp with spring reverb. it's basically just a spring that bounces your sound around. it's the exact equivalent to jumping around on a bed -- the sound is bouncing just like that.

echo: this is when you're in a valley, on top of a mountain or in a cave. that's it. you say "HELLO...hello.." etc. every one knows this. this is the most common technique in popular music.
