Chris2112 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Good effort, as that is a rock hard tune! Getting the bassline right on top of the beat like Mark has it is tough, especially with all the little flourishes he does! I'd love to hear it with a clean bass tone as the Bongo sound is a little "watery" sounding there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it with a dry sound but it sort of sat up too much in the mix. I think M.K must have had a chours and a flanger and compression and a touch of reverb to get that effect. I used my flanger up fairly high to give it that kind of sound. As you say very very hard bass line to nail, and keeping the timing like clockwork is pretty hard with all the right hand tech needed to get those notes out. :-) Im pleased.

Chris2112 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I remember CrazyKiwi did a good version of it on his Alembic, sounded about right. It's a tricky one to get because you need to be pushing it on top of the beat, but I've heard covers that go too far and sound cold and mechanical. Not one I'd want to try singing along with either!

greyparrot Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 i guess if i had more patience id sit there and do it till its 100% right, but im wondoring just how mechanical that could sound? i did a take before this one dry, and it sounded like a bloody click track. I had it on the cans and it was sending me to sleep! just to robotic. ! hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
