Feel free to contact us here or at PRACTICA. Any commercial application of any of the the recordings needs to be authorized by a licensing agreement from Web of Mimicry. Use of the stems for educational purposes is authorized, but any reduplication of the materials needs to be authorized by Web of Mimicry. Feel free to appraise us of your creative work with them! We do not authorize re-distribution of the stems or their texts in any medium. The pricing, like the Geek Pack itself, is intended as an approachable compromise between general interest items, instructional materials and sample-sourceable mix tools.įinally, we (SC3 and WoM) authorize people to use these stems in any capacity for their own non-commercial amusement.

This first foray is by no means a perfected format, and I'll appreciate hearing your comments and requests on how to improve future Geek Packs! But in this dose it should be approachable. It may not come across this way but “Bereshith” is one of the simpler productions in the SC3 oeuvre.* It’s a good place to start with the Geek Packs, since there are a few introductory-level examples of processes (like the one described in the MULTI-SESSION RECONCILIATION EXAMPLE) that can get so huge and cumbersome in other songs that describing them just like that, without a primer, would be a bit psychologically overwhelming for everyone involved.

In addition to sheets that describe each stem, which include a graphic capture of the relevant audio tracks and the automation items that were involved in each of them, I have also included 1) a comprehensive "TRACKS WINDOW", 2) a "STUDIOS AND CHRONOLOGY" page that details who did what, and where, 3) a description and graphic illustration of one of the more left field processes involved in the “MULTI-SESSION RECONCILIATION EXAMPLE”, and 4) little pointers to details like group edits done to adjust "feel", and mic-bleed happening between performers.

In a way this is an idea that's been a long time coming, and with the advent of bandcamp we have a platform to start chipping away at it! This was just to give some idea of how many ways all these elements can be combined musically, just by moving them around. Provided there is continuing interest, we'll build up a library of songs in stems that a) are fun and interesting by themselves, b) illustrate some key production techniques one step at a time, c) open up the many performances to your deeper scrutiny and appreciation, and d) give the creative modifiers & remix jockeys out there something to play with.Īs an example I made five alternate mixes restricting myself to certain small numbers of elements.

Although a full instruction in EVERY DETAIL ALL AT ONCE would take an impossible amount of work to put together, and be a pain in the ass for anyone to sit and "study", I think the following scenario will be pretty workable. More than just offering stems, which are all at zero-point and you are free to load into your DAW and mix at leisure, I aim to satisfy the curious with a few descriptions and illustrations of how things came to sound the way they do. by which things finally come together (a different process for each song, and radically so for each satellite band).This won't be so much a "basic recording and mixing 101" as a big window opening onto the over-arching involved in creating a final Secret Chiefs 3 recording.Moreover, I intend that the Geek Packs would shed light on some of the many proprietary I also want to give creative types some hands-on freedom to explore the mixing process in-depth. My intention here is to open a window on some of the musical subleties that lie buried in the dense fog of SC3 mixes. Welcome to (and thank you for purchasing!) the first SC3 Geek Pack. Listen a little deeper into various aspects of the piece without purchasing all the stems. Thanks for all the positive feedback for this idea! Here we are with the first Geek Pack, thanks to you!įirst off, for those who are curious about this (but not THAT curious!) I've enabled public listening on a couple alternate mixes of "Bereshith". Warm greetings to the curious listener, Trey Spruance writing here.
