noisenet Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I worked up a version of this last weekend but wasn't happy with it, it felt unfinished, so I went in today and added some new stuff to it. It's pretty hot now. Funky!!!! I hope you like it! http://www.superswamp.com/_music/cop_show.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 DUUUDE!!! That's some badass bass. You playing it? Love the drum sound as well! I'd spread out the Clav/Wah guitars a bit more. Get down with your funky self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisenet Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Heya DK, I'm still cracking up. "Get down with your funky self" - that's too funny. Yeah, that's me on the bass. But don't give me too much credit, I had to practice the heck out of some of those parts before I could track 'em. The main bass line is something I've had since the mid 90's. Interestingly, it started out as a really slow, completely straight, industrial sounding idea. I decided to "funk it up" back in '96 I think. Nonetheless, when I went to cut this, I couldn't play the part more than a few times, and it was weak, so I put this idea on the back burner and practiced the part. I feel pretty strongly that the bass sounds better when played with fingers, no pick, so it took me some doing to get it down. Then when I was cutting it, I came up with the idea for the middle part. I could do it fine with a pick, but it's funk, it's gotta be fingers. So, practice practice practice. You shoulda seen the blisters on my right fingers when I finished this bass track. That was last Sunday, I still got the blisters, errr, sorta..... Anyhow, man, thanks a million for your comment! I will definitely be experimenting further with part placement in the mix, when I get some decent speakers. I sent the Klipsch's back to Klipsch to be repaired, so I picked up a cheap set of Bose Companion 2 speakers ($75 at Sam's Club) so I'd have SOMETHING a little more substantial than the internal iMac speakers. They'll come in handy to reference mixes on down the road too. I can't wait, though, to get some good speakers and do some serious mixing!!!!!!!! This song will be a lot of fun to mix........
