Sunday Jam #33 : Van Helsing and Mina's encounter with the brides 

I'm glad you appreciated the gothic look, I thought that was highly appropriate! I spent literally hours experimenting with different ways to get a suitable wind sound. e-ther can generate white noise but that didn't sound very realistic. I tried various ways to generate and control noise and in the end found a tutorial explaining how to create a convincing 'wind' synth instrument in Logic using ES1. I modified that a bit. (I deliberately showed that on the screen while I was using it.) I t uses the modwheel to control the filter cutoff. Then I set e-ther to send modwheel on the vertical control (it sends note on/off with that control too) I then did what you saw me doing twice, with slightly different sound settings and panned one track hard left and one hard right. I'm really happy with the result, but had to turn the volume almost down to nothing otherwise it was just too prominent. I enjoyed this very much and would like to do more if it goes down well. Thank you so much for the comments :-)

I'm glad that you liked it. This was a bit different and I decided that the comments would decide whether I did more (I'd like to do more). Wow, yes Gormenghast is a great idea. Fuchsia and Steerpike is good. I also think the Steerpike / Lady Clarice & Lady Cora is very powerful. Also some comedy potential in my alter ego, Irma. I will look into submitting to the BBC.

I'm glad you said that Bill. The Louis Jourdan version is my favourite version and that's the version I took the screenshots from.I like it for two reasons - it's the closest film to the book, and the casting was great. Louis Jourdan was perfect - just the right level of handsome and sinister. I will check out those artists.

Thank you! My dressing up skills are severely lacking though aren't they. I could have at least made some fangs!

@@midi_in A bit of white card with red on the ends works surprisingly well!

Oh, I'm off to have a listen now. As a fan of metal, the growl might be more my style, but that hurts too much!

how did I not know about your Soundcloud? There's some great stuff there and I'll be spending more time listening to all of that..

​@@midi_inI am pleased that you found it enjoyable. On second and 3rd listen, I think you should give this to an agent, you could have a lucrative side hustle doing voice over, or even audio books, or even better augmented audio books, I just made that up. Really good.

@@arthurcrime Thank you very much for that feedback. I posted this video without being sure of how well it would work and I'll be using all feedback to decide whether to do more. (I would like to do more.)
