ped Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi guys I am at the studio making some funky grooves with my brother (drums) and some ape on guitars/keys/brass. Here are a few clips of the unfinished tunes so you can hear the bass quite well. I am playing my Vigier fretted as usual and broke out the fretless twin for the last track. My brother is playing his Vdrums (td12) and the guitarist uses a pod X3 to desk - we are all in stereo so in total we send ALL the grooves to the desk through the sum total of 6 cables!! Amazing. Only last year we were spending hours micing up drums, cabs and all sorts. I am amazed with the results, the Vdrums are especially awesome - check the drum sound in the sort of soloiish bit below! This track was all about locking in with the drums, based on a groove we played with last time but never fully developed. The part at the end where the bass follows the 'vocal' kind of keyboard part was fun - I used a back pickup bias for that bit on a jazz bass model on the Vbass. The rest is clean Vigier with no messin' [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Sticky%20Situation.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/US...20Situation.mp3[/url] This one was also from the 'lock into the bass drum' school and features some Spanish sounding horns in the middle! We spent the best part of an hour trying to match a keys sound I heard on a Bernie Worrell track but ended up liking what we have here.

Stingray5 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Be interesting to hear how these turn out. Particularly the last track with the fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks mate I must admit that I felt a little disconnected from the fretless track and the one with the drum solo because they were written before I got to the studio so I didn't have any input. I wasn't able to get the whole week off work because my 6th form had exams the following few days! We always have great fun though so anything remotely musical that is produced is purely a bonus in my book!! Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you record them? I might have to get you to record our band if you'd be up for it? Our Demo's are rubbish I'll reply to your PM later mate, just leaving work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 They were recorded at a studio up in... wait for it... Blackpool (so not THAT local) by a guitarist who my brother went to uni with. We always go there because we all have a similar lack of taste in terms of music so we 'tear tha roof off' behind closed doors before forcing our 'elevator muzak' upon the unsuspecting, and largely undeserving masses. So no you won't know the guitarist, not unless you have thumbed the Yellow Pages for rent boys in the Lancaster area! pedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
