Yeah, well it used to be that if I wanted to use my own drumtracks in my tunes it was a hassle. Firstly, I dont have a kit anymore, secondly I suck.. Well, at least the tracks would stick out like sore thumbs against quantized synth and sample tracks.
Live 6 has made it too easy. At rehearsal I just thru up a couple mics and jammed into my laptop. Later, at home I rewired the live set to logic or protools and got down to bizness. Just select all the tracks and whatever warps you make to one affect all the tracks. Insane..
Used to be I’d take a stereo track and stick it in recycle to tighten it up, limited by keygroups and a stereo channel. Now, anything is possible.
Bassline were another thing that used to get the recycle treatment. Again limited by the keygroups in your sampler you had to plan ahead if you wanted to recycle an entire performance. Now I just plug in my bass, hit record and play through, knowing I can warp the crap out of it and swing the entire track on the fly.
Now if i could just write something worth recording….
