Song clips in Real MediaŪ

NEW ! Update below, read on :)
Now a total of 6(!) clips in real media, it should have been 7, but one was removed by the webhotel because it was over 1MB. So that's the size I'll have to stick to for now. Mp3 and WMA isn't allowed neither. I'm happy abot real media still being allowed though, if I encode it in 64kbps I will get about 2 min in Stereo with G2-quality. 56kbps is mono, if I want a 4 minute clip. Highest quality, real audio 8, is 100kbps Stereo but then I won't get much more than a minute.
On to the stuff;

As you have noticed, so didnīt I find the much wanted time and inspiration to come up with a millennium anthem for this page. Iīm quite angry about it myself, but what canīt be done canīt be done.To see it on the positive side: now that I have no time pressure on me, mabe I do turn out to be more productive. Anyway I hope so. My computer is in any way functioning better than ever, at the moment.
When I find my inspiration, itīs really just to sit down and record. Unfortunately, as I havenīt had the much desired time to practice enough, I have lost a great deal of my fluency and sensitiveness in guitarplaying over the last months. I have to practice some more again, to be able to do a decent recording. On the good side, so have I become a better keyboardplayer, as I play around with my synthesizers. My keyboardplaying is just basic though, itīs only on the guitar I can do the cool stuff. Have fun ! SeeYa//Per

To the right, there's three new clips. Nothing much to add, apart from what's been told on the first page. Made with Cubase VST/32 5.1 R2 PB1 though(last clip with R2 PB2 and Samplitude 2496), and an Athlon 1700+ PC with 512MB DDR SDRAM and an Soundblaster Audigy soundcard. Recorded through an Phonic MM1002 mixer through an Roland GP-8 guitar processor and edited using Sound Forge 5.0 and then saved in varaious real audio formats through Sound Forge. That's all, for now :)

Welcome.
You have made it right on the spot. This page is where I contain my song clips. This is where you can hear if I actually CAN play the guitar. Well, can I ? Listen and decide for yourself. Then tell me about it.
This page is, in every way, intended to grow. This page is the main reason why this site exists. So far, the growth has been quite slow, but I promise; I havenīt forgotten what I once set out to do. Not totally anyway...
See Ya/Per

Latest clips 2002-01-29:

The first clip made with Audigy. 1MB. Just playing around(with my Stratocaster that is) :-)

The second clip. 1MB. Added some distortion. More "noisy", still sorta jazz-jammy.

Third clip. 1MB. HmmHmm, this is very noisy and disturbing as well. Note the use of a REAL bass-guitar :)

The fourth clip lately, still 1MB in size. "Enjoy" ;-)

This was the first song I made available for "web-back ". A simple groove with the drums driving it, created "live" by me, with my keyboard controller driving my "Midiman" sound-module. And sequenced in "Magix" music studio 3.05. Then I added a cool guitar solo. I mastered it on regular cassette tape , before converting it to wav. And then real media. Download link below. Choose "save to disk", when the dialogue comes up. After downloading the file, you can just doubleclick it in Windows Explorer to listen at it through Real Player 7.

My third song was a little more complicated to do. Even if carelessly done. I used "NRJ" e-jay for making a slow hip-hop accompaniement with voice samples and all. I exported the thing as wav to "Cubase" 3.7, where I added two wild guitars and an 8Mb sampled Grand Piano. Played by myself for that final touch. I recorded the whole mix as a single wav, which I could convert to real media. I never had to leave the digital domain, only analogue circuitry was my guitar processor...it was removed by my ISP(?). We'll see if I find a copy ?

My second song was created from just a drum`n`bass slow tempo thing I made myself.It was a sunday when I was busy doing lots of other things, and somehow managed to steal time for an emotional guitar solo to this beat. I added a rock-organ for more vintage feel. Also made in "Magix" music studio 3.05. Some anthem qualities actually...follow the download link below.

My fourth song wasnīt made by me at all.It was a rock-midi sample from Cakewalk Pro Audio, I used for playing a guitar solo to. The solo, which was only intuitive, got rather cool in some places.Therefore I thought I would use it here. Midi sounds are made by my Sound Blaster Live! emulating Roland GSmkII sound canvas. This was all digital too...linked below.
