Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Maybe "your" should be "you're" and "carving" is an autocorrect mistake for "creating"? So the sentence becomes "Glad to hear you're creating in sound...."

Haven’t bought a eurorack module since august, 2020, but that ended yesterday. Ordered a Xaoc Zadar and a Squarp Rample. Seriously considering an Instruo Arbhar which would make the rack look like this…

At the moment, my Qu-Bit Bloom is where the Arbhar is pictured. I pulled out some old perc modules, my Doepfer A110-4 and my L-1 Dual Discrete VCF. Haven’t had the Joranalogue Filter racked up for quite some time, but am putting it back in for awhile to see if it stays or goes. There’s other possibilities and if I want to get silly and expand I still have a 104 HP Make Noise skiff laying around

I'm soooo below caveman level this is getting ridiculous.

Ugly and noisy, but I had fun making this. M8 and EssenceFM

this are very nice sounds ! the hi-freq sounds sound very clear and precise. perfect

I liked your video @lordradish
edit: forgot to mention:
yes, the volume was to little ! especially the voice.You definitly should normalize the audio ! cause: example:.....i clicked then the next video, monsterthompsen linked something interesting,.......and i was under headphones, so i cranked the volume up on your video........clicking then the next video, w.o. adjust my HP level* / * NO good idea ! it was unfunny in fact. haha

 

[monsterthompson]

I couldn't help myself.

I finished off the melody. Added some effects and modulation. It is pretty ridiculous and it makes me giggle.

It's like: each one is an effects pedal on crack, and there is no bass, and they all plug into one another in all sorts of ways. Does that help?

I definitely know HOW it works, making it work…..that a whole other story.

The patch I just did with a two-note harmony/chord and a single line melody was a brain pain. Doing it in stereo didn't make things easier. You start doing things like -
Blue cables have an "l" so those are for the left. Green cables have an "r" so those are the right side paths. Purple has an "l" so that is a left side (ignoring the "r" in purple...). Yellow has a "l" and "o" like "clock" so the time based clock signals use yellow cables.

...and then you poke a voodoo doll, roll some dice, and light a prayer candle.

This is a familiar theme to me.

Or, you can just plug whatever into whatever, except avoiding plugging outputs into other outputs, and then turn knobs and see what happens.

Maybe it's too early in the morning for me still, but I can't make heads or tails of that sentence.

Yeah, me too.

 

[lordradish]

Perhaps “your carving in sound” is meant to be a carving (like a stature) equivalent in audio form. Your carving, in sound.

Right, I get that, but was he saying he was glad to listen to it or glad that I'm carving?

 

[lordradish]

My guess would be the latter, but that's why you have a Soundcloud/Bandcamp/Youtube link available so anyone can see what the hubbub is about - either the artist if they actually are interested, or someone else reading it who might think, "wow, if this person wants to hear it maybe I should hear it too" - and you don't even have to push it on them, it's just there.

Right, I think I'd want this guy to only hear my best stuff, so I haven't done that.

Joranalogue Filter racked up for quite some time, but am putting it back in for awhile to see if it stays or goes.

The thing about the Filter 8 is that it's a fine filter that's easy to feedback patch, an ok phaser, or an awesome 8-phase LFO or VCO. And it does track and hold. I'm on a big "utility" kick and it's definitely utility. I like his stuff a lot in general but am trying not to buy modules since I'm more than full up.

 

[monsterthompson]

This IG account popped up for me recently. It has some delightful laughs in it.

Okay, I doubt this is my entry into being a Youtuber (if it is, I have a lot to learn), but here's the tutorial.

I originally said I had fun doing this last night, even though I redid it. Yeah, well after godless-knows-how-many takes I did into the wee hours of the morning, I wanna take that back. I don't know how many times I'd go through the pedal run through, think I nailed it, only to realize I forgot something.

But it did give me a good idea of what I need to do next (namely, write an f-ing script, or at least have more detail in my notes than a grocery list). I also was able to learn a lot about how to use Davinci, which is an amazing video editor. This will come in handy when I want to make videos for my upcoming album releases.

If I do get any positive response to this, I will likely make some more. Don't make me do that. Constructive criticism welcome.

well done

but . . .needs more shredding.

for those who may want to know, i heard about this on a podcast of robert rich, who had a lot to do with its design.

This is just a brief clip from goofing around with the Light Pedal (and a bit of delay). The thing is nuts. It's like having a deranged alien trapped in a box on the pedal board. (And yes, I kicked it a couple times at the end.)

The main thing to remember is that with modular, the walls punch you

Heavy!!!

When I had it in the rack, I used it more as an LFO or VCO as I thought the filter was a tad boring. I’m putting it back in to see how I feel after not hearing it for a couple years. Should know soon

Yeah, that thing is awesome. I don’t have room to even ponder that.

That was awesome! Funny, I haven’t even tried running a bass through mine. I really should do that!
