The Live 10 update came out this week, so I started with a drum beat (dry funk kit single hits...through the new Drum Buss, which sounds great).  I also twiddled the action on my Danelectro Baritone, and, inspired by the new feel, suddenly came up with this bass line...so in it went.  I tracked a bit of guitar (Res-O-Glas), but wasn't happy with those parts and put them aside.  I put some keys on, took them off, couldn't decide quite what to do...and then over the weekend I retracked the baritone (pickups in series, through Auto-Filter with a lot of drive), put down some Moog Guitar through Auto-Pan set to tremolo, tracked some new Res-O-Glas guitar through the wah pedal, Auto-Filter, and Cabinet, then got down some Electric (through LFO Auto-Filter) and a bit of Hammond-like organ...and there we are.


Sends: Convolution Reverb and the new Ableton Echo.  A touch of M4L Humanizer on the drums, also...but I'm a sloppy enough keyboardist that I didn't need it on the keys.  Full-Chain Master on the two-channel output.


Title from one of the crystallization modes of Carbon, element 6.

Techno funk? Really  powerful.

And yes, drum buss is fantastic!

Lovin' the high distortion on that raw bass line!

Funky.

I can hear an ableton update inspiration in your track this week. Supercool the bass!

Excellent, love this groove. Great work with that reverb and delay, it's so much fun to listen to heart

Sim City vibes smile

Awesome drums and nice space/funk feel... Bass sound is marvelous!

Fantastic, head immediately started nodding, killer bass, love the dubby effects
