Being in 3/4 (at least that's what I count) and having the bass not exactly accenting the one's all the time it's quite inspiring. I'd love to take it for a ride though maybe it'll take some serious time-effort from my side to come up with something decent. Cop show theme song you said ...

I am afraid that I destroyed the project files for this. I am good at that: cleaning up my hard drive, throwing away the good stuff and keeping the junk.

In any case, it is constructed in it's entirety from loops out of Endangered Rhythms volume 2, which will be available within a couple of weeks at latest, so.............

Just a heads up.

Two things,

First its difficult to make something with the drums and bass in the same loop – it might be better as a couple of bars of bass on its own – or four bars of drums – from that a ton of options open up.

Another reason why some are not uploading tunes is the 48kHz – the bulk of guys in polls say they want higher sample rates – but in fact the bulk work at 16 bit 44.1 kHz – when given the choice they download the 44.1kHz in abundance over other sample rates and bit depths.

For this kind of thing – posting a loop in the music café – for maximum effect – 16 bit 44.1kHz is best – with one main sound in the loops – drums or guitar or whatever.

I can do a hybrid tune with this loop, something entirely different to what it sounds like at the moment – that’s always fun.

Dig the jam

Best regards,

Peter

You could always try being creative Jens

btw Jens. That comment is for a reply to the sample guys one in the sample thread the other day.

anyway: really really really bad comparison - Drainage is the one who did the creative work here - not the ones who sampled drum-hits - you need technical experience and good equipment for properly recording instruments but not creativity like you need for composing something

I didn't think the mix was too bad, actually...

Anyway, on behalf of all the keyboard players who were uninvited to this party...

It's pretty crap, because I don't play this kind of music anymore unfortunately, but I gave it a go!!!

Oh, and it's completely live, no editing, using Mr Ray 73 and Effectizer.

Cheers!

j

I can instantly hear that J bass sound... what specific kind of bass is it? Gosh I love that tone!

In a band I played a song that had a 6/4 groove just like this. I love that 6/4, but not a compound meter.

Yeah, no kidding.

Great playing, by the way. Very rhythmically tight, good swing.

I wish I had time to set up my real keyboard to play some decent stuff over this jam. (right now I'm using the Ozone 2-octave non-weighted keyboard which is rather uncomfortably situated.

Watto · Post by **Watto** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 3:18 am

Thanks man - I wish I could play guitar like you bastards, but the instrument is a complete engima to me, unfortunately!

I played it on an Evolution MK-249C2, which is a little step up from the Ozone, I guess - still not ideal, though! You'd have to be quick on your octave up/down button to solo on the Ozone!

Notice I said tried?

What? are all of you guitarists cowards?
