This week I'd thought I'd do something with two basses interacting. I started with the FM drum rack set I've been using, doing several lines in 4/4, used Drum Buss, and added some M4L Humanizer.
For voice differentiation in the bass, I used my first-ever electric guitar, a Teisco tulip bass, and put down several loops (right channel). One of them was syncopated in a kind of interesting way, and I realized later that it was in 11/8. Appropriate, but it made the rest of the piece a kind of jigsaw puzzle. Second bass (left channel) is the usual Epiphone P-J. Both got some EQ-8 to roll off lows.
Guitar is the PureSalem Mendiola, which I tracked with Balls Effects KWB, Vox Wah, and Moyo volume pedal, then just was and volume, and also straight into the A/D. Real melodic lines didn't occur to me until later, so I added yet another track to fill in, and did a lot of editing on the other snippets.
Sends: lots of Ableton Echo, plus a convolution reverb. Full-Chain Master on everything.
Title is the Basque word for eleven, but also means infinite.
