OT: The Gig of a lifetime!

[Bela D Media]

I am now sound designing commercial breaks for RUSH Radio!
I just had to share this news with fellow NS Rush fans

What a dream!

My spots will be online within the next few days.

you lucky b*******


I saw them live a few months ago, on their UK tour. Great set, but it was so shocking to see that the rest of the audience was middle-aged, grey and/or balding ... just like me.

But the biggest shock was that everyone sat on their bums ... even during 2112. When I first saw them in the early eighties, the moment they hit the stage and the crowd went ape-~~~~ ... havng never been to a rock concert before I thought a riot had broken out. It was one of the most thrilling moments of my life (sad huh). This time when they came stage, everyone remained seated .. and just appluaded .... I still haven't gotten over it.

Any discounts on your products for fellow rush-heads?

Awesome Frank! I know how exciting this must be for you. I just bought my first Rush album a week ago thanks to you. :D Still haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. ;)

Wow. Way cool. I haven't listened to Rush Radio in a year, but I'm about to start again... :) Congrats.

See if you can use your new position to force them to remaster Vapor Trails... ;)

Good to see your working with some boys from around my hood`!!! ;)

LOL. Yea! I want to hear the non-clipping studio version of "Secret Touch"!

[Bela D Media]

Thanks everyone. Big time!! ;) :o

I wanted to clarify what I am doing. When I say "commercial breaks" these are 5, 15 and 30 second spots that welcome and/or inform the listener that they are "Listening to Rush Radio".

The best part - I am allowed to take multi Rush tracks and slice and dice. Then toss in sound design and a dash O' VO. Done.

The first spot is based on Counter Parts.

Err, back to the kiddie edits :(

ps. I'd love to share some spots here but I can't post commercial tracks on NS.

LOL. Yea! I want to hear the non-clipping studio version of "Secret Touch"!

See if you can find the single (I'll see if I still have it). The clipping is reduced a LOT. I probably only noticed it because I was listening for it. But it sounds waaaaaay better -- brighter, too. Of course, it's two minutes shorter, as well. One should never edit a Rush song. That is, unless that person is making commercial spots for Rush Radio, of course... ;)

[sbkp]

I found my MP3 of the radio edit. PM me if you want it.

[Brian2112]

Look at all the stars in this post! All the big-timers are Rush Heads! (I'm the only loser):D

...2112:D

p.s "Secret Touch" playing now on RR..no clipping...ROFL!

[ngstime]

....not to take away the HUGE coolness factor in this (we're all jealous)
It's not quite "THE" gig of a lifetime....
I think "THE" gig of a lifetime would be something like this:

(knock, knock) Geddy is standing at Frank's doorstep.(OMG!:D )

"Frank! You gotta help us! I have a monster blister on the end of my finger"
(Geddy un-intentionaly gives Frank the finger.... that's ok, it's Geddy of RUSH!!!:eek: )
"Frank! We have a HUGE show tonite! Even the Miss Pageant is gonna be there!
WE NEED YOU FRANK!
....and we need you to do some more commercial breaks for RUSH radio too." :)

Awesome Frank! I know how exciting this must be for you. I just bought my first Rush album a week ago thanks to you. :D Still haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. ;)


Oh. My. Gawd. :D I hope the album is Permanent Waves!! Or better, Hemispheres. You're about to relive my adolesence- you should watch Freaks and Geeks while its playing to get into the right mood *lol*
