Complicated - A*S*P* Hybrid Remix

UK
HybridiuM/Akrylic Spike Project vocalist RicK Scott

Details: living in London, England to study Music Tech at university. I'm also the singer/songwriter for a band called HybridiuM (a mix of the EBM, Industrial and Metal genres)...we're all very serious musicians and we're all aspiring producers too. We're unsigned at the moment mainly due to the fact we're not concentrating on gigs at the moment as we're putting all our efforts into completing our 2nd of a three year Degree course in Music Technology in London. We're currently trying to get some funding for our very own website which is to be (some day) HybridiuM.co.uk but we're building a free site in the mean time using geocities.
EQUIPMENT USED: Acid Pro 4 to convert the mp3 to wav. ready for editing in Logic Audio 5.5. I used various plug-ins such as the 'low pass filter' (with automation to vary the frequency ranges) and 'bitcrusher' for the "complicated" vocal loop, 'clip distortion' on one drum track and 'flange' on another, 'stereo delay' with high feedback on a very small vocal sample to give that rising echo effect just before the chorus, 'amplitube' on the clean guitar used in the verses to give it a retro chorus sound, and finally 'reverb' and 'vocal eq' on the main vocals. Also added was a mixture of the ES2 audio instrument and the Roland XV5050 for extra synth. I was going to use Pro Tools for the Stereo amster but I have the Win XP system which doesn't support it as stand alone. If you would like it to be mastered in Pro Tools, as I know it's better than Logic for mastering and finalising, then let me know and I will use the university Mac facilities to do so.
