Thick, rich, resonant, with a touch of ethnicity. Voluptuous syncopation, the auto pans work really nice on this one. I have the LITE version of Abelton, what units are in the Full Chain Master?

Thank you! Ah, frustrating. Does this link work, or are there more dumb restrictions? http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/ … nbc/n41046

Thank you!  Full chain master, the way I use it: EQ8, Glue Compressor, Overdrive (off, for me), Utility (off), Limiter (-30dB), Spectrum (for visualization).

More cowbell (well, someone was going to say it)! I love having limitations like this; your results are riveting ;-)

Surprisingly full. Relaxing and suspenseful at the same time.

Woooooooohhh!  That deep cowbell is supper phat.  Great polyrhythms and super interesting to listen to.  Perfect amaount of reverb.  The stereo separation is superb and there's a super authentic live feel about it. :-)  Super awesome work dude!!!!

Good work, doesn't sound gimmicky despite the premise. The bass is really nice!

Very well done. The low bells really give off a tribal drum feeling, and the entire piece is very ambient. If I didn't know better I'd think they were all congas and steel drums. Great work this week.

I think this is what I was expecting for last week's piece! I'm imagining the bass sound as a giant cowbell the size of a Chicago bungalow. I'm doing my best not to imagine the cow that would wear it

Finally an all cowbell track! Awesome track, nice work. Love that you took on that challenge - some limitations like that can yield great results.

Holy crap, this percussion. This is so good!

Thank you!  I think the send automation is part of it--the reverb changes a bit on each part over time, so you get some variety.

Thank you all!  Glad you liked it!

Fun idea a good execution.

Whoah, I'm sorry I missed this one last week. THis is really good both as musical exercise and as a track on it's own right. How did you got that "swing" ? The actual groove near the end is delicious, and that's really hard sometimes with instruments like congas, cowbells or toms.

Really really good

Thank you!  Most of the swing was the default 50% setting in Live, but that last little bit of it was from using M4L's Humanizer on every midi channel, set to a maximum of...whatever 1/64-ish would be in milliseconds.  It seems to make a subtle difference in feel--you can tell when you've used too much when it starts to sound "out."  Just before that, there's that little touch of randomization all over the place that makes it feel a bit more organic.

Thanks for noticing the end groove--that was my favorite part, too!
