This track was created with all source sounds from my sax. For the rhythm, I sampled various key taps then programmed a beat into DM-1. Then I exported the individual parts into Logic where I further edited my drum beat. I recorded the initial sax pad running it through the Afterneath pedal and then used some Logid effects to broaden the pad sound. I then recorded a "lea" sax line, which I then reversed and placed in a couple places. I exported that lead sax part to my laptop, where I used Traktor to scratch the sample back into Logic. Also tracked some backspins of the sample using Traktor.
This is for a bi-weekly challenge that a Facebook group I belong to is doing. This round is maximum of two synth parts can be used, the rest has to be foley or "acoustically recorded" sounds. I decided to go with no synths. The only thing I might consider is to use a synth bass to add a little more low end, but I think all in all this sounds pretty cool. Your thoughts?
Eeking this one in at the last possible hour... I'm not sure, but I don't really feel like I'm 100% done with this song. The sax squeals I'm happy with, but the other sax is just a rip off of a riff from a remix I did, so I'll need to change that up. Also thinking about some faster "free jazz" sax parts. I also didn't have anything in mind when I started this week's track, I just started programming and went from there.
For this song I used the following:
-DM - The Drum Machine
- Logic Pro (DAW/various effects)
- Alto Saxophone
*No movie sample this week, but the final version of this track may have one in the mix.
