Several experiments occurred during this recording of this tune (called "One"). I wanted to cut and paste using the BR. I wanted to see if I could match up a simple sequence to the tempo in the BR, using a MicroKorg. I also just got the Boss octave pedal. The bass tones were from this and a cheesy Squier Strat through the Micro BR JC-120 setting sans delay. I also used a Pocket Pod (a fun device) for the first time for the lead guitar in the first mp3.
I know it's repetitive (after all, it was cut and pasted), but like I said in an earlier post, sometimes I just want to play as I find it cathartic. Total elapsed time for creation was about an hour, so please don't expect "The Gates of Delirium." I had to squash it quite a bit MP3-wise for this post, so it's distorting unfortunately.
Finally, I just wanted to say one more time how pleasant this community seems...no egos, everybody supportive, a common interest, and a high degree of talent. Thanks again to all who contribute.
Peace.

This is the backing track if anybody wants to noodle over it.
Peace.

Pretty interesting sounds, Blooby. I like the atmosphere (that digital sounding arpeggio gets me everytime) of the repeating sequence. In fact, it makes a pretty good repeating sample. The soloing is good, nice dynamics and tone. The lead guitar could probably be a little bit louder. That bass is a guitar played through an Octave pedal? Sounds like a bass. :D
In my speakers the overall mix have too much low end, I think it is related to the way the Octave pedal works on the guitar or something.
Overall it's a good work, keep it up and thanks for sharing this and the backing track. :)
I think this song stands very well on it's own. Nice job man.
What kind of synth did you use for the background?
-Phil
The synth was a MicroKorg vocoder/synthesizer. It has all the cheesy synth sounds you could want (Dr. Who, Quadrophenia-era Who, Styx, Head East, etc.) You can dial in the tempo of the arpeggio, which is how I synched it without midi. I believe it only has three voices, though, meaning three-note chords are the limit. I use it more for atmosphere and single-note stuff, so that hasn't been an issue for me.
Peace.

Thanks for the info Blooby, that looks like a neat little unit.

This is a sweet sweet jam Blooby. The classic synth sound and the thick guitar over top sounds really good.
I'm hearing Mr. Higgins opening the door... I'll give it a try, a 192kbps version will be welcome at priverecords@hotmail.com
Very good work Blooby, nice atmosphere.
Wow i'm hooked. love this. downloaded the backer too
great stuff
TJ.
This sounds great Blooby !!! Nice composition - syth fx - and jammin jammin guitar grooves that hit the spot !!!
I love it man, very dreamy and positive. Im really wanting to get into synths and sequencing-I just dont know anybody who does it-and I have no idea how.
Your dirty lead tones sound GREAT, very expressive.
Missed this first and second time round just love the the synth,bass and guitar and the repetative nature just for me adds to the great listen, would love to add some vox if you don,t mind. Might take a while Mrs SE has my free time fully utilized at this time of year, anyway a great track.
Yeah - glad this got bumped!
This is very good Blooby. There is a very nice feel to this jam, and the instruments all sound great.
Cool stuff!
- Vann
Very nice mood on this one. A great loop. It has some nice highs. Excellent lead work. I need to get a better set of speakers here I don't get much bass out of this one.
i'd completely forgotten about the fact that this was an experiment in BR trickery within about a minute.... it really didn't matter anymore. The guitar playing is absolutely top notch, incredible stuff flowing from your fingertips.... blew me away. Are you familiar with Jeff Beck? Check out "Brush with the Blues". I think you'll like it.

I missed this one originally. Some typically fine work, and some inspirational guitar playing. I'm a Blooby fan!
p.s. this tracks sounds perfectly wonderful as it is.
Oldie but goodie, nice mood, nice vibe and love that guitar sound. Cut and paste works well, I've used it a few times to make my life easier.
Cheers,
Nigel

Nice experiments!

Nice one, Blooby - a relaxing listen with trippy guitar. :)
Thanks for the bump, folks. I needed a little positive reinforcement today. I have been scarce, missing the community. Work and yet another flu are stretching me thin. Poop.
Ahh, the Pocket Pod. I can't get a lead tone like that through my other stuff it seems. There's something so warm and mid-rangey about that box.
