(Work In Progress) : Little Pieces Extended - Ray & DoMi feat. Did Donnadieu

This is taken from original version of Duke Ellington & John Coltrane.
Many quotes in the piano lines.
I havent respected the tradition which would double the BPM during solis ... it's all twisted : i told you
A fresh version should be recorded soon with a band : this is just a Demo.

Une adaptation du standard de Duke Elling et John Coltrane.
Beaucoup de citations dans le piano et le titre devrait être enregistré avec un groupe bientôt car là : ce n'est qu'une simple démo.
J'ai pas vraiment respecté la tradition qui est de doubler le BPM lors des solis ... c'est une adaptation complètement tordue (twisted) : j'vous ai bien prévenu.

Enregistrement live vers 2013 & Mixé live avec le matos 2024.
Parce que ce c'est masterisé on a 1,71 ms de latence.
Le mix seul autour des -18 LU : 0,82ms de latence ... c'est pas trop mal pour une fois ...
Toontrack est utilisé pour la batterie via les capteurs MIDI pour d’avantage de réalisme que  nous n’avions pas avant.

2013 live recording mixed live with 2024 Gear.
Because it's mastered we have 1,71 ms Latency
Mix alone around -18 LU : 0,82ms Latency ... not too bad dis time for real time audio mixing & recording.

Toontrack triggered by MIDI is used on this remix for more realism which we hadn’t at the time.

Enregistré en one shot pour chaque instruments alors que je venais de recevoir deux nouveaux micros ... je me suis sans doute un peu trop laissé aller et je n'ai pas vu le temps passer ... 20 minutes c'est long

All done in one take for each instrument.
I just got 2 new mics for the guitar and did not see the time go by while recording so mabe/surely, 20minutes is a bit too long ...

Les pistes originales dans leur jus ont été remixées sans compression sauf (voix et basse) et un peu lors du mastering.
Avant j’utilisais 3 d’EQ, là juste un seul. Mais j'ai gardé le MaagEQ4 pour le mastering.

Original takes mixed with one EQ, no compression but vocals + bass and slight one on mastering.
I used to work with 3 EQ's but kept the Maag EQ4 for mastering though.

(Work in progress) - Factual C - 事実

こんにちは。あなたが聞くものはすべて、マスタリングに至るまで遅延なしでリアルタイムです。

Bonjour, TOUT ce que vous entendez est en temps réel jusque au mastering sans latence.

Hello/Hi, all what you hear is in real time including mastering, no latency.

ミュージシャン、マイク、プリアンプ、サウンド カード、プラグインの組み合わせにより、突然それが可能になります。

Une combinaison de musiciens, micros, préamplis, carte son, plugin rend la chose soudainement possible.

A mix of musicians, mics & pres , audio converter + plugin make it all of a sudden possible.

テクノロジーは進化しており、非常に小さなレコーディング構造も進化しています。2023 年後半に、私は ProTools HD カードを、独自の EQ をプラグインとして使用した完全なネイティブ構成でこれまでで最高のレイテンシーのないレコーディング システムである 1073 Neve のコピーに置き換えました。これにより、ライブ ワークフローのすべてが変わりました。

Les technologies évoluants, les mini studio d’enregistrements aussi, j’ai changé ma configuration « propriétaire » depuis 2003 pour config native fin 2023 et un seul et unique EQ pour mixer : une copie de Neve et tout à changé pour du live.

Technologies are evolving, and so are the very small recording structures, late 2023 i have replaced protools hd cards which were long ago the best no latency recording system ever for full native configuration using a unique EQ as plugin, a copy of 1073 Neve : it changed everything for live workflow.
