We Will Meet Again - original by vigwig

This is a drummer delight, full of heavy pounding beat.  I didn't do the best vocal you'll ever hear, but I did my best.  Vic

finally some drums noodling on this site! Is that you? Digital drums?

[vigwig]

More like noodlleloops:  This is all made from Sony loops or other loops, all sampled to keep the general beat going.  Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.   Vic

You are the cut and splice master Vig... this is some very complex stuff you got goin on here. Very fun listen.

In the olden days we did this physically instead of digitaly by cutting and splicing reel-to-reel tape.  We also used to take snippets from many different songs and cobble them together to recreat a well-known song.  The easiest one I found was Angel Baby by Rosie & the Originals.  The words and riffs, etc would be in the right places but they wouldn't be from Rosie & the Originals.  That was a challenge.  Vic

Just curious Vic... what are you using for a DAW.... Acid Studio/ Fruity Loops??? My sister was a radio DJ back in the day. I would go to the studio with her to edit. I helped her out with some of the editing and we did quite a bit of splicing with the old reel to reel stuff. That was a "Reel" pain!!! Bu dump tshhhh!!!

I am using Sony Acid Music Studio 7.0, plus I bought maybe 6 or 8 additional loops CD's.  You'd think by now I would have them all squared away in my head and would know where most of the sounds I want are, but when I speed up or slow down the beats per minute, I get a whole new set of loop sounds.  I also downloaded some more loops from an internet site.  If you keep your eyes open, you can often buy a CD of loops for about $10.  Vic
P.S.  the old reel-to reel days were more fun.  We had a little splicer you put the two ends together, use the tape" tape and closed the splicer like a stapler and  voila.  We settled on 1200 feet and 1800 ft rolls as being the most space you could have without the tape stretching or wrapping around the spindle when you screeched to a halt.  We also used 3-3/4 ips or 1-7/8 ips.  &-1/2 was better quality of recording but ate up precious tape and we had to make do with what tape we had because we were in Colombia, Iran and Spain where tape couldn't be found.  I recorded at 1-7/8 mostly and recorded a different playlist on each of the 4 tracks.  This enabled maybe 80 songs per track.  My folks had a fire in their house in Spain (he worked for Esso overseas) and it concentrated in the hi-fi nook.  Many many tapes and records were lost.  What a tragedy.
