Cello's music with OASYS

DennyC · Post by **DennyC** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 3:04 pm

Neil, great sounds and emotion! I really enjoyed it! The piano was so delicately struck and artistically balanced with the other sounds

I was wondering why you use the D3200 instead of the O with audio track inputs? Perhaps the xd 3200, or more physical control in the mixing of the tracks?

A new piece where the pianist whilst playing, dreams of hearing a quartet playing with her... and then a large orchestra... and so it comes, eventually

Dear Neil, thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. It's very emotional, great music! It's like a famous movie soundtrack.
The OASYS and Jupiter blends well.
Best regards, please keep posting your work.

Goodness - many thanks for the kind and encouraging words, DennyC and Akos; much appreciated.

@ DennyC - alas I am still learning my OASYS! So whilst I have dabbled with the audio inputs (not difficult to use and sound great with O Fx!) but I have not got my head round what the system does to the audio track recordings. I think it was because the first time I forgot to save tracks and had to re-start to load up a different library. Now I get a message saying that I should restore the tracks but as the song is not loaded I get confused... So, until I get the hang of the O system, I will keep doing it the old fashioned way! Having said that the D3200 is a fantastic little unit and the fx and mastering options are great.

@ Akos - Interesting that you got the 'filmscore' idea behind the music! For this piece there was a definite visual in my head - much like a movie - and I wrote the piece to go with those images.

Glad you both enjoyed the track and best wishes to both

great music buddy! enjoyed listening to all your pieces. you should seriously consider going pro if you have not already. thanks for sharing.

Cello, thanks for the reply, I've got to admit that side of the O is seemingly complex...that's why I picked up a masterlink. BTW, the JP80 does blend very well with the O--Beautiful composition.

I wish! Yes, would like to 'go pro' so if you have any secrets of how to break in, then please share

Yep, .. there's an abundance of talent on the forums these days.
Very well done and executed, it all seemed so real!

Loved the Guardian Angel patch from Assault, it fit beautifully!

Happy Holidays to you also.

Another very nicely constructed and emotion provoking musical theme. To you, Neil a very merry and super Christmas! I love the blend of sounds and the way they are weaved together.

Where's our Christmas tree?!?!?

Well done, Cello! And your Nick fits just perfectly to this song - great string arrangement and KSL sounds very good in this song.
