Consecutive

By onezero on April 24, 2022 7:25 pm

Lots going on this weekend (including a live demonstration/performance tonight), but I did shake out time to do a little mood track. This one's two tracks (one neck, one bridge) of straight-into-the-converter PureSalem Mendiola (new strings: D'Addario half-flats, .010 high E), with the usual Epiphone Embassy II bass on P pickup. (Flatwounds are still delivering the tone. No idea why I changed them out last year.)

The different story here is drums: I'd had the thought of putting a whole Ableton kit through a membrane resonator with Corpus, and while I backed off on that a bit (28% effect), it's still audible.

Sends: one convolution reverb, one echo. Inline: Max Humanizer on drums, EQ-8 on bass for low-end rolloff. Wide&Warm preset on the stereo mix.

Let's see how this ends up sounding: on first rendering, I got the "rendering aborted due to internal error; contact Ableton support" message.

The title comes from 434 being the sum of six consecutive primes.

The two techniques really work well together.
