If

Returning to four tracks this week. I had a few syncopated rhythms in mind, and after putting them down, tracked a lot of bass lines, a second batch responding to the first. Then in a second session, recorded even more bass, coming up with the left-channel hook that starts the piece. And after that, guitar seemed superfluous, though I did briefly try putting acoustic guitar into this...and didn't like what I was coming up with, so I stuck with two basses.
Instruments: Ableton Drum Rack (64-pad Jazz Kit) through Drum Buss. Drum Rack of hand claps, with Auto-Pan. Two channels of Epiphone P-J bass (P pickup only), both through EQ-8 to roll off slightly different amounts of low-end, Glue Compressor, and the left channel getting a bit of Ableton Cabinet.
Sends: two convolution reverbs (one with a smaller room, one with larger), each preceded by high-pass Auto-Filter, and Echo, preceded by LFO band-pass Auto-Filter.
Title comes from Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo--Edmond Dantès is referred to as Number 34 during his imprisonment in in the Château d'If.
