Hello World!

[Manfred Philips]

I'm a French amateur musician who was a little fed up with the crowd on French-speaking forums.
I'm trying the adventure in the big pool and I hope you will have pity on my English which can sometimes be alien.
I also write and do covers with a guideline of doing what I want, I share it, and if someone likes it that's cool.

My influences are very varied even if I have a temporal and geographical blockage on England at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s with Joy DIvision, New Order, The Cure...

On my songs I most often play all the parts overdub.

So very happy to exchange and share with music lovers

Bonjour Manfred!

 

Welcome to Songstuff!

 

You mention overdubs. What do you use for recording? Digital/analog? Hardware/software?

[Manfred Philips]

Thank you for your welcome John.

 

I mainly use Acid Pro and Cool Edit Pro for recording and mixing.
My lineage is quite economical because I enter my guitars and basses directly into a modified multi-effects to allow me to use all the amps and bass and guitar effects from the B1Xon and G1on range (firmware modification) and then it goes back to my modest sound card (Behringer UM2) to arrive in the DAW in 44.1 16-bit mono (for technical reasons that I will explain in another post dedicated to the sampling frequency).
The drums part is provided by the Hydrogen Drum Machine sequencer which I program according to my needs.

The mastering part is done with Cool Edi Pro (now Adobe Audition I think).

 

My artistic intention is to give the impression of a live recording and to draw the listener into my world.
