Here’s my first new track in a little bit, and the first of this new year. That certainly relates to the song title and comments you’ll note when giving a listen.
On the musical end of things, this started with the Warwick 6 String Bass you’ll hear in one channel. I was actually playing around on that bass with the Crotales in Groove Agent and came up with a pattern from them that I’d hoped to develop. Much of that was abandoned for the more conventional drum track here, but it gave birth to the 6 string bass performance, which covers a lot of the melodic and harmonic basis of this tune. I then added a separate Halion synth along with some more subtle touches from the Groove Agent Crotales.
What then came in was a nylon stringed Godin guitar playing different melodic and harmonic lines along with the 6 string bass. Then I added a separate Fender Fretless bass track that I wanted to lock in more with the drums. Finally, the short electric guitar solo was done with a PRS SE Custom 24. All of the bass and guitar sounds were played and processed through a Boss BB-1X going into sounds I’ve come up with in the Line 6 Helix Native plugin.
This was all done in Cubase Pro 10.5.
Thanks for listening, if you do, and for any impressions or comments.
