new Gadget track - NIN sounding?

HalftoneHalftone
edited October 2014 in General App Discussion

My latest track - made with Korg Gadget (send thru Audiomastering for a little sweetening). This one has a heavy sick groove to it that I think sounds a bit in the territory of Nine Inch Nails (didn't intend this, it just came out that way)... This one taxed my ipad4 - think i had 17-18 gadgets running - it was really starting to stutter and crackle.

Please give it a listen - comments appreciated.

    Great track @Halftone, NIN came to mind as did Edward Scissorhands. Loved the pad sound at 1:30ish and the lead around 2:50 was very cool (though possibly a little loud, but I'm just using the speaker). Liked the vocal samples just bookending the song too.

    Works for me. Crisp top end and has a real menacing quality about it. The sounds work well and it all 'fits'.

    Great sounds from gadget. How many scenes did that take? :)

  • HalftoneHalftone

    thanks guys - @AlterEgo - it was 18 or 19 scenes total..

    This is excellent…exactly the kind of electronic music I'd like to be making on the iPad. And yes, that opening bass is very NIN-sounding. Which gadget did you use for it?

  • HalftoneHalftone

    the opening 8 bars its a Chicago gadget with arp on, then when it kicks in I added a Berlin. I'm so happy with the heavy groove and thick sound when it kicks in with both basslines and the beat. I could listen to those 8 bars over and over..

    Totally dig it. Great work. Reminds me more of an instrumental Depeche Mode circa 1992 track than NIN. Might be the triplet bass/personal jesus connection in my mind though. Totally agree with @xen - the crisp top end is really perfect for this tune/mix.

    thanks alot - that's a great compliment - I'm more of a Depeche Mode fan than NIN. Hadn't really heard it before - but I do now.

    The pumping rhythm made we think "personal jesus" too ;-)

    Great track, Gadget is one awesome piece of software.

    Are the vocal samples imported?

  • HalftoneHalftone

    the sample at beginning (Let me introduce us...) is from the movie The Purge ... the other vocal samples at end are from a London gadget internal sound.

    Gadget is really great - but I do find myself wishing for some different synth sounds sometimes. Hoping they add another Gadget synth or two in the near future.
