your first audio track ever..

Post by Peacemaker »

Well, while talking to DHS yesterday in Chat,
I had a little idea.
I am wondering how your very first Audio Song sounds like. Doesnt need to be a remix..
If you want, you can also add some backgroundstory to it =)

i think it was arround 1999....
done with my Yamaha An1X ONLY =) (well, drums by fruityloops)..
As the an1x has only 2 voices, i had to play the notes i needed realtime and recorded them to cooledit.. well, rest figure out =)..
(i think at this time i didnt have a sequencer for my pc, well i did, fruityloops, which sucks for me =))..

So, what about you? :)
Dont blush, post your tunes :>

Peacey

(tas, if this is the wrong board, i am very very sooo very sorry =)

My first ever audio track was recorded on a reel to reel 2-track (I think I was singing, "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel) however I don't happen to have that on my PC. The first track that I thought was good enough to record and keep was a song that I wrote shortly after a break-up (sounds strange to write a song about something like that...) anyway, my brother and I had just discovered that his computer had something called Soundfonts and that you could plug your guitar into the computer's soundcard!! Previous to that I thought a computer was only good for playing games on and downloading porn. Anyway, we both didn't really know what we were doing but we recorded this anyway. The person singing is the singer from my brother's cover band. I apologise for the lame MIDI sounds but I thought they were the best things since sliced bread.

The first thing I ever did was having 2 tape recorders beside eachother and the having one play Jail House Rock and the pther one record while I was singing it. I think I was 9 or 10 at the time... I might still have the tape somewhere...

The first music I did on a computer (not counting the effortless noodling on the C64) was an Amiga mod... I have that on MP3... In mono as I recall :) I have dubbed it 'Meet my Alien'...
<--- I went that way --->

My first written stuff disappeared when I sold my first keyboard, bought around '86 and sold a few years later. I still have some stuff on tape from around 1990, though, which is, erm, not that good.

I have some stuff at my parents that I did in 93-94 with protracker. It's terrible, to say the least.

But one of my mates and I used to make recordings at the age of 8-9 with a pre-programmed synth which we'd bang on cans and sing to. I don't really know if they still excist, which is probably a good thing because from what I can recall all songs were about farts and poo.

My first full-length audiotrack made on a computer was a C64 remix, Red Heat.
I made it with Scream Tracker 3 using the samples from the demo song Insideout that came with the program.
I used three channels (drums - lead - bass).
I believe I made it back in 1994.
My computer was a HP 386 16MHz and I had a Logitech Soundman soundcard plugged to my stereo.

I do still have this tune... but please don't ask for it.

Before that i just made some crappy test patterns and odd sounds. I never backed up anything of that...

Oh dear.. i almost forgot.. I did play a lot on my Casio-keyboard when i was just a kid. I could play "I just called to say i love you", "Petit fleur", "Spanish eyes", "When the saints go marching in" and some Synthesizer tracks. I don't think my dad have saved anything of the recordings. My mother probably have a tape where I play "Amazing grace" over and over again.. She said to me that if I learn to play that song she would give me 100 marks (~16 euros nowadays). I got my money the next day :)

I believe that my _first_ audiorecording ever was "When the saints go marching in".

My first audio recording was when I was 6 years old. I made a fake radio show interviewing firemen and postmen (starring me, myself and I, only). I even made some sound effects like "oooiuoooiuoooiuoooiu - HERE COMES THE FIREMEN!!!!-- oooiuoooiuooiu", and tried to imitate the sound of screaming tires with my cassette recorder and a microphone.

Never as good as the first time... I try and I try and I try but it will never be any better than that! A true peak in my audio carrer! ;)

Hehehe, yeah. Me and a friend were about the same age (7-8 or so) when we recorded a show about a gas station (I guess we were inspired by "Macken").

I still have the tape somewhere. Some parts are bleeding funny for being recorded by 7-8 year olds.
-"Right, here's your car. Good as new!"
-"But this is not my car. My car is a Volvo!"
-"This is your Volvo."
-"But this one is red, mine was blue."
-"Uhm..."
-"And it says Mazda in the back!"

I remember my friend did a perfect rendition of the guy who owned the gas station in our town. :)

I can top that, when my brother and I were young, we used to do a chip-munk radio station... We would record our material on a reel to reel tape recorder speaking slowly in to the microphone then speed the tape up afterwards. Very sad come to think of it...

I horde all my olde recordings ;)

On tapes strewn aboot the place I've got my first ever C64 sid tune (composed in Ubiks Music) which I played through a rackmount FX unit, my first mods, my first multi-track tape recording of some early tracks. A recording of a piano piece I composed and still hope to someday re-record.
Recordings of the various bands that I was in throughout my youth - including a still (IMHO) cool cover of "Comfortably Numb" - I still have the master tape with the parts split on it.

My earliest C64 recording was on a tape of C64 music my brother and I recorded. At one point you can hear my brother "Volume right down?" [so that the microphone on the old tape recorder worked properly) and "WOW!" when Wizball is playing.

The recording of me is 1) My brother's rendition of the Grand Prix Circuit title music, created with GameMaker's Music Editor. 2) My voice, reciting the list of tracks.

There's also another (school) tape where I play a digital saxophone and keyboards on a friend's compositions - "Love", "So Much Love", and another short track without a title. You can even hear some backing vocals by me as well...

A couple of members of this forum also have some SID CD's a friend of mine recorded, full of my original tunes...
