Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

[Bob_Ross]

thanks

~9 minutes total. it’ll be over before you know it.

Indeed, and a quite enjoyable ~9 minutes at that! ...but I think I'm going to listen to it all again after the contractors with the power tools get out of my kitchen!

Is it all performed in realtime, or was the semi-colon between "live effects; synthesizer" to indicate that the synths were overdubbed?

each of the three parts per piece were done separately; sometimes baritone first, sometimes bass. synth was always last. (thanks for checking it out.)

9/9 would listen again

Is it all fretless!?
I dig it.
Ring mod vibes are really cool

 

[jam.majors]

Any regulars on here ever experiment with the SA c4?
Not my kind of pedal but was still curious at more objective views than on the fan thread where it seems to do everything even good espresso during the drum sound checks

I really like the sounds and incredible versatility, but the editor can get overwhelming. And some seemingly simple adjustments can be really challenging "on the fly".
But it does sound really great, and has an insane amount of options.

ring mod = red panda radius (my fave ring mod pedal that i’ve had so far)

not all fretless
(baritone/bass)
fretless/fretless; fretted/fretted; fretted/fretless; fretless/fretted

thanks for checking it out.

happy almost solstice: show and tell time . . .
four simple miniatures of me doing fretless/fretted baritone guitars and fretless/fretted bass guitars with live effects; synthesizer

That was really nice thanks!

I’ll take “Things Never Said On Talkbass” for $300, Alex.

I haven't been able to get off my rear long enough to do anything major with my full gear rig in a while, but I did manage to improv this on my little Volca Bass recently. Portable, battery-powered synths FTW.

hey

this is for the possible tangerine dream completist (?).

i bought it a long time ago as research for a planned piece on the “divine comedy,” but no longer need it.

if one of you want it, it’s yours for the price of shipping.

dm me if you’re interested.

How Devin Townsend practices. He watches trains going to the North Pole and plugs into his looper.

fun fact: my friend vinny (now a musician) did the cover for that back in his artist days.

Anyone here have tips n tricks to sort presets in the Arturia MCC??
This thing is a fl&$3$: nightmare.

I had enough spares to build a new sequenced voice. I might change a few things but this isn’t bad to for quasi generative/ambient stuff when I run it through an external delay.

@ugly_bassplayer I understand the frustration. I was working on a track today and using a Reaktor synth. I wanted to save some presets/snapshots, but because of how Reaktor handles such things I ended up spending almost an hour working on file path issues. A huge pain was when I relocated the .ens file but couldn’t figure out how to get Ableton and/or Reaktor to forget the file path to the old snapshots. I was in a loop of deleting Reaktor, adding Reaktor, then clicking on the snapshot I wanted to delete only for it to try to load the snapshot and tell me the path didn’t exist. I figured out the order of operations but it was annoying.

Just reading that made me peeved as &:&:$:$:
File management blows
