Update....

Disaster...

After all the work I did, I lost all my music settings and samples after a virus on my PC.
 For that reason, I didn't come back early.

Yes, I lost all the samples I had and all the drum patterns... everything!
Luckily, some loops I have saved in my Studio PC (where I make master and work with Ableton)

Doesn't matter, cry now... It's all gone.
All the backgrounds and textures, as well as the drum patterns and some tracks I had uploaded to the software, were gone.

I did get disappointed, but I didn't give up. I have been looking to get an old laptop (IBM) only to work with this machine and finally be mobile to make live shows, but... I HAVE A STORY FOR YOU:

Since I lost all my work due to the virus on my PC, I reinstalled the software and started from scratch.
I want to take things one step forward, so I decided to look for an (OLD IBM LAPTOP) because the old IBM laptops have the right connections to use with the machine (as you know from chapters before, this machine only works with tower PCS because they have a PS2 connection and a regular soundcard connection. Without these connections, the machine does not work, even using adapters.

However, after searching for a while, I found a solution to connect my laptop (Dell) to the machine, so I purchased it on eBay...



Brilliant, is it ???

It was... if the machine worked on it :( :( :(
It does work, but for some stupid reason, the drum loops don't keep the exact BPM.
The BPM fluctuates, so it's not possible to get the loops playing at the same tempo.

I don't know why... Everything looks and plays fine, but the Drum loops don't stay stable in BPM.
I know it's ridiculous, but I really don't know why this happens!
I installed and reinstalled multiple times, but the issue persisted.

I LOST MY DREAMS OF PLAYING LIVE WITH THIS MACHINE!!! 
(Unless I can take my PC to the stage, but that will look like a Jean Michel Jarre in concert)
No more live sessions !!

I did lose my expectations... I really want to make (WHATEVER)  from this machine.
I can always make home sessions 0, and that is what I want to show in the next chapter.

I will create a professional (Studio/Music) video.
This will be :
*VIDEO  0 - Sound introduction
* VIDEO 1 -  Play the track live
* VIDEO 2 -  Recording the individual sounds (drums/ percussions/ FX/ track)
* VIDEO 3 -  Add the sounds to Ableton
* VIDEO 4 -  Track construction
* MP3    - -   Track already made

Let's wait for the best.
Keep an eye on the DaDa Project Blog, I will be updating this shortly.






Release and video

The release and video are out now.

So... did you think it was all over?
Did I just give up?
Never.. Nop.. rian de rian, na pa do nada !!

After numerous workarounds, I made several changes to the music sounds, and I contacted a friend to create a video for the release.
The release is now for download in all major download stores.
DaDa Project - Electric City (EP)
You can download the release from here:

The video was produced by Seamus (FilterKik Media)
http://www.filterkikmedia.com 
and have (by now) 9.992 views


This release ended up being released by the Lua Records label, as NCP Records was still in the development stages and couldn't afford to publish the release.

Finish tracks & label website

Finlay, the tracks are finished (some).

Unfortunately, the tracks I uploaded to Send Space before were deleted. This happened because I didn't open a proper account. I just uploaded the tracks, and after some time, if you don't open an account, they delete your files.

The tracks I uploaded were the body of all the construction, so you didn't miss much. Anyway, you can still listen to some of that work in the videos I upload and have posted on this blog.

NOW... Things have changed!

The tracks do not sound the same; they are more polished, and I have finished and mastered some of them.

PLUS... I created a label for experimental music artists (like me), the label is called:

N.C.P Records
(No Commercial Potential Records)

I have created this label page on the Bandcamp page for artists, and have uploaded the finalised tracks:
http://ncprecords.bandcamp.com/

There are 5 tracks on there for now, and these ones I call (electric city - opus 1/2/3/4/5)

I cannot say that the following tracks I will compose will be in the same vein as these ones, but I will try to keep the style so I can have a shelf too... ha ha ha ha ha.

I hope you enjoy it ;)
