Separate Ways - Journey


Recommended Posts

For those who don't care for Journey, I promise this is my last upload from this band.  Despite appearances, I'm not a huge fan but I do like their keyboard heavy songs.  This hit is from 1983.  I made a custom hex layer for the first time to replicate Jonathan Cain's Roland Jupiter 8 signature sound (http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/file/1277-sep_wayszlt/).  (5) midi tracks consisting of:

  1. Rock rhythm on system track
  2. Sep Ways (custom hex)
  3. Rock Piano
  4. Standard Set2 drums
  5. Chiff Lead

I had a difficult time making the mp3 in Audacity on this since it had many clipping spikes (I was playing too harshly, Ha) throughout when I made the audio recording on the PX560.  I ended up lowering the midi recording volume to 110 instead of full 127.  Then I ran compressor effect in Audacity which also helped.

Someday love will find you! Break those chains that bind you! Yeah! That's an action-packed one, 👍!

Those drums are pretty good, maybe just a little too wimpy for me. Maybe I shouldn't plug a different company here but on Steve Webb's YouTube channel the Korg Microarranger he uses has percussion that really stands out. My old CT-390 had nice deep loud percussion too.
