I sampled NMIXX's "Dash" in this. As always, it is that but a party in my brain. :) 

NMIXX Dash Jam

I sampled ILLIT's "Cherish" with Wonhee's beginning line which is really cute :) I kept it like a party in my head as per usual, but cute. 

ILLIT Cherish Jam

Tried to keep it basic so Tyla's "Water" sampled stood out rhythmically. Most of my work here is improvised and I am just learning to dial in sound and so on, but I went ham with the hi-hat + percussion stuff. Really influenced by Takanaka and all that prog stuff, definitely tried to do a lot more boomer bends than usual for the solo. It's a party in my head with McLovin, but TYLA! :) 

Tyla Water Remix: Guitar Solo - McLovin Jam

This is the first series of chords I have written in like, 5-10 years. All the guitars are mic'd played like I would for a jam session or practice. Really comforting. I play Yamaha guitars, and the rest is direct in p bass using Logic Pro - drums are base settings this time around to keep timbre. Arturia MIDI controller for only keys and drums and direct in. It's the sketch of ㅁ sketch, got inspired by an Umphreys Mcgee show I saw tonight.

I wrote this one for a friend who drops bars. I hope he uses it. He is absolutely beastly. I used my regular rig (Arturia input for DI bass and MIDI for the drums and other stuffs). I mic'd the guitar (have been enjoying that these days) with just tap and analog delay. Minimal so hopefully my bro can drop them bars man. Both guitars were played (Revstar and Pacifica) for both rhythm tracks. 

Beat for a Frand

I call this one the McLovin'. I got very inspired and spat out what I accumulated musically. The rhythm guitar track is played with the Pacifica (single coil) direct in. Same with the p-bass. The lead guitar is my Revstar but mic'd with a pedalboard and through Boss Katana MK2. Don't ask me how I can blast guitar at 2AM. That's the love of McLovin', baby! 

The McLovin

I made this with some old Herbie + Headhunters lineup stuff from the 70s and a lot of Louis Cole, Vulf, Knower, etc. I recorded this with my usual direct in gear (Arturia audio interface and midi controller) in Logic Pro. I used only my Yamaha Pacifica for both rhythm and lead tracks, and the bass is also a modeler - Logic has some great amp modeling. I am using analog pedals - TC Echobrain analog delay, TS808 clone, and MXR Badass overdrive pedal for the lead. I also felt that this was true to what I do as a "standard." Enjoy! 

The Standard

This one - I tried to make a beat to jam on. I accidentally made one swing because, I am terrible at drumming. Happy Accidents! Wanted to play with a more synth'd out bass, so everything is my usual rig, but I used and tweaked a lot of the Logic Pro modelers and modules. I call this one The JDilla Beat Project. That should be a band name! 

The JDilla Beat Project

This is my millionth attempt at using ILLIT's "Magnetic" as a sample. I love this "you you you you" line so much that I made a song around it. This is a picture of Wonhee from ILLIT, who sings the iconic "you you you you" part. I am using basically everything in Logic Pro in terms of amp modeling, fxs, and sequencing drums. There are some wild effects in there - the backwards spinning Leslie effect is from the DAW only. I used only the TS808 clone + MXR Badass OD. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did while making it. 

You You You You

I have yet to come up with this track, which just uses entirely MIDI and a lot of arpeggiators to make cool sounds :) 
It samples  ⁨Sumin's "Meow" which I will link below (she's so amazing):

Sumin's "Meow" Sample Project

This is basically what I am into these days. Named it after the bottle plugin which is Cory Wong's collab with Logic Pro. That is a hard hitting bottle let me tell yah. Using my Revstar here with analog signals for pedals and etc., but mostly processing it in DAW these days. Come check out the YouTube if you are bored. Will take requests for picture of Cory's Follé. 

Cory's Follé

I wrote this for my mother. She was curious about all this jamband business. She is hooked. Loved the NH3 Phish Tweezer fest. Before I have to depart again to grind, I am releasing this although the mix can be a bit cleaned up or doubled for the guitar. I recorded this on Logic Pro and using my usual gear, but the guitar was recorded using all digital pedal board and signal chain! It's been interesting to mix the two, but it's also fun to just go full digital. Enjoy :)

for jamband kid moms

This one is for all the homies who always stick it through despite my whatevers. I updated my aud interface but that is it :)
