Don't Be Tense (live session dub)

This came from a live jam with bass player and myself on drums. This is second or third time running through these parts we came up with on the fly. I didn't edit, quantize, warp or anything, so this is totally live feel, flaws and all. Bass was direct in to soundcard, tracking in Ableton. Drums had overhead mic (which picked up bass too), and a kick mic, that I think I should move from outside the drum to inside next time. I duplicated the audio drum track, added effects to one track, and did same with bass. Converted drum to midi which turned out pretty accurate and put that on a vintage sampled kit device to compensate for recording of mine. One bass track got Amp, and a Wah rack, other has Amp and delay. One drum track got Corpus on Drum to Bass synth preset which is coo, can't wait to play with that more. I thought about playing some more parts on the Push, but decided to impose the limitation of using the notes that were played live. So I added a synth track, converted the bass part to midi, dropped it on the synth and added arpeggiator at varying rates. Then added various other FX throughout. Added some random vocal samples from sampleswap that I had, didn't play with those much but did a little pitching and reversing.
