As I learn more about production and my digital audio workstation I plan to share my progress. This composition is just two tracks - both tracks are parts I played on bass. The initial idea came to me during a pause in rehearsal with the rock band Julie and the Boonie's. I was simply playing a little lick, but when Bill said that "sounds cool", I figured I had better take it one step further. Bill is an avid rocker. Me not so much. This piece doesn't sound much like rock to me. Well maybe Incubus'ish? The meter is 6/4. In the coming month's I plan to develop this thread further. Stay tuned. Listen loud!

Can't This B a Little BIGGER

Sound Bite Medley

Hey people, hope you enjoy this bass and vocal track! Although when you're recording it seems like the ideas for additional tweaks is never ending, I do feel the desired effect was precisely achieved, FYI the airy, flange like sound of the two "finger picking" tracks was produced by performing and recording that track twice with the expectation being that I would never be able to play it exactly the same on both tracks. I panned one of the picking tracks 80% to the left and the other 80% to the right. Then I copied a several small pieces from left to right and right to left which creates an intermittent 100% synch - pretty cool effect. Many thanks to Jeana Pillion for a superlative vocal performance!!
