Day 35 quiet time before xmas: loops

I might use them in a vocal project as starter sounds.They could use eq’ing and a bass.The loop points are pretty good but might need to be cleaned up.  

iphone as mono recorder

1.  Jam with Dave, No zoom so using iphone as mono recorder.with quiet drums and electric guitar. 2: Normally everything is completely spontaneous. This one was the last jam of the evening. We decided to re-do one from earlier in the evening, now that all the layers had been recently discovered. It definitely evolves into something new too. […]

[see Audacity for comments throughout track]

Ok this one might appear to begin as yet another wandering instrumental, but this time….it goes places, and stays pretty solid the entire time. This was recorded direct in to a Zoom H2, with the nylon string Ramirez guitar and running through a Line 6 echo pedal, then processed in Audacity.

live laptop mic

the stock laptop mic was used for this. I opened the default recorder (quicktime), and recorded. There is a little un-intended distortion but overall the quality is better than…complete shite.

a short mellow one.

nylon beats

Here’s a loop. It’s basically the first part of a jam…that started then hit its peak after a only a few short seconds. full-quality wav file available for download

drums and bass

some layers with dave’s 3/4 bass at his place

A three piece

This is the last of a longer session with Dave and Steve. We finally locked in pretty well. I like. There are some short clips I may post, but this 10 minutes was pretty solid all around. Oh this is also a nice quality mp3. I got tired of adjusting the quality to stay below […]

builds up from little

This one has a jarring part in the middle. The line6 pedal doesn’t allow varying the rate loops fade out so I had to put up with it…

Compressed new drums

I compressed the levels so it should punch more. The end has an interesting melody that is slightly out of phase with the main rhythm.
