Re: Short textured post-rock beat with ssl-2
Thanks for the kind words guys
The piano is just one of the steinway presets in logic triggered with my midi keyboard, and the drums are superior drummer + a couple simple hip-hop loops. The bass is just logic's "analog deep bass" preset with some bending on the pitch wheel. I also used a choir sound in a couple places. I ran my mij strat through a podxt on the ac30 top boost model tweaked to my liking.
Those are the basic sounds, but the drone tones you're hearing are mostly from logic's space designer -- I ran a huge reverb on the piano and tweaked it until it started making harmonics in the background. The chorus was run through a much less aggressive reverb and I brought it down in the mix so it wouldn't be overpowering. I created the droning guitar effect with a combination of delay designer and a slightly tweaked drone tone preset I found in the "warped effects" section of space designer. I had the effects on while I played and I just tried to fill out the sound without making it muddy. So the drones are a combination of the guitar, keys, and chorus.
The analog synth sound also has a light reverb on it for texture. And the guitar sound at the end is podxt + the "candy fuzz" pedal in logic and a medium room reverb. I left the drums and bass completely dry, though I imagine I'd at minimum add some compression to the drums if I get someone to sing over it.
I originally threw this together in a few hours for my friend to rap over -- what type of vocals do you imagine over this lazyfinger?
Cheers, and thanks for listening!
