Unit

Welcome back, everybody!
This one is in the dub/funk kind of vein--that's just what I was hearing this week. I started with some patterns in an Ableton drum rack with the 64 Pads Dub Kit preset, and added some accents from the 64 Pad Finger Snare kit. Both of these got M4L Humanizer to get a little elasticity into the beats, and the finger snare kit got some Auto Pan. And there's a track of Electric (MkI2 Crunchy Piano) on here as well, through a band-pass Auto Filter with Auto Pan
I tracked the usual 80s Epiphone P-J bass direct, shaved off some sub-100Hz with EQ8, and added a bit of air with a convolution reverb send.
Guitar is a (new to me) PureSalem Mendiola on the bridge pickup, through a Vox Wah and Moyo passive volume. (Then in Ableton I added high-pass and low-pass Auto-Filter with drive, Utility for gain reduction, and Cabinet for some tone shaping.) I tracked a lot of guitar that I edited out, and some of the remaining clips lent themselves to being reversed. I wanted to keep this one more spacious rather than guitar-dense.
Sends: High-pass Auto-Filter into convolution reverb (BM7 large room impulse), Delay (on 3), customized Echo--dotted eighth notes with a bit of wobble. Full-chain master on everything.
After doing two years of element-titled pieces, I'm giving myself a break from that restriction...so this title comes from looking up some facts about the number 1--turns out it's not considered a prime number, but a unit. So there we are.
