Having no experience with live mixing, I decided to just go with BPM matching and record it just for fun. The result is this mix, completed September 23rd this year. I hadn't planned on releasing it until a co-worker started looping it on his computer and said how great it was, so now you can enjoy it too, thanks to Travis." http://www.robdiesel.com/blogs/music/2007/11/x-dream-live-mix.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Reverend)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698440249408845100.post-8544858043949843755Sat, 03 Nov 2007 10:19:00 +00002007-11-16T15:16:51.220-07:00I've added mirrors to the files to speed up downloading. I settled on FileCrunch.com as they allow files up to 250MB and only have a 20 second wait time and no pop-up ads. Speeds are also very good, with over 1MB/sec transfer speeds during my testing. That means that you'll get most of the files in about a minute from them, vs 10 minutes from my server.

After having been in a 'vocal' mood for a bit, I just sort of drifted towards this type of song, with its haunting female vocals along with an ambient electronic sound. I didn't think about it much but sat down and played with a few of these songs back in March and spent an hour here and there putting stuff http://www.robdiesel.com/blogs/music/2007/09/vox-foemina.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Reverend)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698440249408845100.post-9221375503519078387Mon, 27 Aug 2007 06:18:00 +00002007-08-27T00:25:33.440-06:00I am putting the finishing touches on the new album called "Vox Foemina", which I think will be my favorite this far. The mixing is better and smoother and the mix flows nicely. Well, atleast it does to me in the mood I was when I decided on the track list. ;) I am still using Sony Vegas, though I am tempted to play with a competitor or two.

An extensive search for albums by X-dream, Hallucinogen and Miraculix brought a variety of other artists in my record collection and this mix was a result of wanting an hour of uninterrupted music consisting of my favorites at the time."

It actually started as a fun project to get all my favorite ambient songs into an hourlong 'lay-in-bed-and-read-a-book-until-I-fall-asleep' mix. Basically, it was my nightly playlist spliced into a non-stop, soothing track.
