The Funk Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've just listened to Static. It's cool. The fingerstyle bass tone is perfect. My only suggestion would be to either play it faster or slower: my preference would be for slower. Faster it would have more energy and slower the groove would be that much dirtier. The other thing is that it got a little same-y in terms of the arrangement and the dynamics before the end. As soon as the song finished and Flipoutthefunk came on I wished that some kind of quirky break along those lines had been slipped into Static. I'm not trying to be an @rse - only giving you the negative 'cos the positive stuff is all obvious and it's quality material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like the tempo of Static - it's low and dirty and skanky - and it was done in one take at the end of a long session so it was just a kind of groove that we hit straight off the bat and sat on it - I think it's great - but yeah I'm sure we could play it faster or slower - but I think it came out OK IMO. The drummer is a beast! Thanks for listening. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 apologies in advance fr the bump - just completely reworked the dance-ish tune 'Sing Your Own Anthem' - it's fast and hectic and believe me I can't to record something with more space and less speed - but you know what it's like when you get recording a tune an you just have to see it through - it's a learning curve is all I can say. I'm definitely discovering loads more about Logic 8 just by using it - it's the only way innit!? The 'song' now has an added bassline and slappy solo breakdown...

ShergoldSnickers Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I've just thrown my bass away. Seriously difficult stuff carried off with aplomb. I can't get my [i]brain[/i] to go that fast never mind the soddin' fingers. Sing Your own Anthem has a bit of everything in the mix, Jaco, Frank Zappa (the musical feel, not the bass obviously), Stanley Clarke...
