GOOD song. The phantom drum machine at the beginning works well.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:17 pm Here’s a rough track with a drum machine @WhiskeyJack
As you can hear, my use of the drum machine as a click “bleeds“ in to the recordings. It’s not supposed to start until you hear the toms and the louder drums. All will be fixed with the new interface.
THAT IS AAACCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETadpui wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 1:39 am Well, here's my attempt. I started the project last night after seeing the challenge, and "finished" it today at halftime of the Chiefs game. It's a quickie!
The drums are the Bleep Drum kit from Bleep Labs. It's just a little guitar pedal sized DIY kit with 4 pads, a couple of knobs, and a couple of different modes. Since there's no sequencer on board, the 3 or 4 tracks of it are "performances" of varying lengths, looped or copied/pasted (and reversed for one section).
Bass is through a DIY clone of an Ampeg Scrambler. Vocals are through an SM57, driven hard into a 1073 for distortion.
I think that's it...just drums, bass, and vocals on this one.

I’ll provide lyrics when I finish it! Hopefully by tomorrow! Thanks!rayc wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:28 amGOOD song. The phantom drum machine at the beginning works well.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:17 pm Here’s a rough track with a drum machine @WhiskeyJack

LYRICS please.
Nice! I liked that solo.rayc wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:53 am This is a track using the same drum machine but I'd learnt to program sequences from the built in patters..the drums are subdued and don't come in until about half way through.
ALL recorded into the same computer as above, sometime around 2008, but with an INCA interface, (excellent interface 8 in 8 out multi channel - ribbon cable and internal card - the works.
More than a few tuning issues but across bass, el guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, acoustic 2 string and my bad ear - it was bound to happen.
Terry singing again & Ido1957 did the lead solo.
After I'd learnt to program sequences I think my song sounded a fair bit better so often RAMI & Greg offered to play real drums...so there's only this one remaining with programming...

Cool deal! I like the 4th wall you’re breaking in that song lol. I’ll look up drumatic. The drum machine in Reason is so good, and I think it can be used as a plugin in other DAWs, too.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 12:46 pm Good song, Tad. That's some nice, dirty bass.
I haven't touched a real drum machine since high school, but my entire first album was done with some kind of digistation or somesuch

The song I'm working on now has pretty basic drums. Maybe I'll do a remix with Drumatic. (Side note: if anyone needs a software drum machine, that's a good choice)
Lol! Pretty sure that's the second song that I wrote after I decided to get into itWhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 2:26 pm LOLLL!! @vomitHatSteve "this song isn't very high quality" I spit coffee when i heard that. It's wonderful to see your format hasn't changed much.
That bass would make a really sick addition if it were possible.Tadpui wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 6:20 pm @SweetDan @CrowsofFritz @rayc @WhiskeyJack @vomitHatSteve thanks guys, much appreciated! This was a fun project, I really enjoyed making it. Now, let's see if I can actually come up with something on the stoner grunge song from the last challenge in the next day or two...
Nothing in that song is boring.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:59 pm As @WhiskeyJack said, the bass would be cool, @Tadpui
My bass is pretty boring on that track lol.
He can always run yours through whatever wizardry that sim is that he used. there is also bassless space at the end of the song i think too.

For the drums I used this plug in from Audio Thing

Thanks for giving It a listen! I plan on recording the real thing today.musicturtle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:40 am @CrowsofFritz I like your tune man. Sounds like your style but with a twist. Like your falsetto.
@Tadpui That is really cool. Sparse but full. Great vocals.
