Tacoma Reaper Experiment

Description

I came up to Tacoma for work, and I am basically killing time before I start. I have my work computer which is a PC with me, so I am trying out this DAW "Reaper" which is actually pretty cool. Recording on PC is pretty much a nightmare, but that's most likely because I am not familiar with it. If anyone is on a PC ever and wants to play, reaper is shareware (you are encouraged to donate $50 if you use it for more than a month). Here's the link for it:http://www.cockos.com/reaper/download.php

This is another Dark Ambient piece; didn't list it as ambient cuz I don't wanna bum out anyones yoga buzz.

	Micheal... Everything you touch turns to gold! Love it... Guys like you should have a MacJams issued MacBookPro pre-loaded with GB and Logic Express and a ton of ram. Packed in the case should be a USB mic. Anyway thanks for killing time! Check out my latest song called Never Say Goodbye - Bond Challenge

	that was 5:22??? Very cool. Goosebumps. I love the introduction of the ticking sounds and the wooden chimey things. Surreal. -Rain Check out my latest song called Moment

	don't fear the reaper ... it felt good to say that. actually this is what my mind needed at this moment. Been spending the past hour banging out heavy guitar riffs. I found this was a nice way to bring my spiking brain waves down. Ahh, I feel better now. Check out my latest song called November

	Unique palette of sounds and you have an orchestral consciousness in your voices. This is my kind of yoga mate! Check out my latest song called Luna Gypsy Heart II (Eternal Firelight)

Michael.....
This is a brilliant track!!!!

I listened to it at work first thing this morning and was blown away. It's another one of my favourites.

Reaper is a beast. I have a registered copy that I use solely (at the moment) for finishing the work on my mixes. It allows me to manipulate effects easily, so I use it daily. There are some good videos available via the forum, if you want to delve deeper into using it and the manual is excellent, though long.

Take care.

	Mild I like the glitchy tics that come in the middle of the song. The subtle percussion play after that is quietly interesting too, but the first half of the song strikes me as a little stagnant. Maybe I had it too quiet though. Another listen, perhaps? -g Check out my latest song called 08nov08

Awesome
Love the sounds, and the ambience of the piece is perfect. Makes me think of Peter Gabriel's Birdy soundtrack - dark and threatening, in a cool way. Great tapping, skittering noises in the middle there. Nice one. I see what Feter is talking about, too, by the way. I must have that Floydian gene too...Downloaded and added to my ambient playlist. Nicely done, my friend. Peace.

Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

	D'ambient Maybe we need a new genre for this. Reminds me of something from the first Alien move. Ridley would be proud. Good job Dave Check out my latest song called Googolplex Times Zero

	spooky Could easily have fitted as a soundtrack in Lord of the Rings. Actually, I though Tacoma was a nice place as I once dated a girl from there... She didn't give me any feelings like this BTW;) Cool piece. And if you did it on a PC I guess extra points should be given;) Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

	Interesting Reaper sounds like an interesting piece of kit Michael - this is certainly eerie - great soundtrack material for a doco on outer space. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

	Is WA that bleak? Nice job writing this, but the place doesn't sound terribly exciting. You make me want to weep. Jump off the bridge over the narrows. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

	it is an orange dream it sounds like a place I live. it is always grey. there is some warmth inside. but there is never warmth outside. there is comfort in this dark music. it is a reminder of home. thank you. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01

	Special excellent from the first chord, magnificent actually

	Bummer Yoga Buzz that's some of my favorite music. Nice breathing atmospheres - subtle and effective - I like the addition of the bamboo sounds towards the end. I'll have to check out Reaper - I use a PC at work. Check out my latest song called eye for you (w/particledots and michael2)

	I'm salivating as I listen and type. This is extraordinary although it feels more ambient than experimental. I love this one!!! Check out my latest song called A Journey Through Starburst Galaxy M82
