Happy Saturday to all!
Have dove headlong into Ableton Suite since I opened the box, but have been lurking when I can.
Have been contructing my first drum kit in the program: one that suits my needs, is arranged exactly how I want it laid out on the MPK61, and am almost done with it.
For those who know me here in Club 600, I'm a fan of Rush, so I'm constructing my drum kit to approximate the range of drums & percussion of Neil Peart's general setup.
So, my first serious music project using my new drum kit will be....
*drum roll, please*........
Playing the last 3m20s of "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" from their album Fly By Night !!!
(*
drums first, then will record me playing my bass to a separate track)
This is my "To Do" list:
================
Need 3m20s of drums for grow update footage
***
Copy the drums from By-tor and the Snow Dog from about 5m20s onward!***
(
song is 8m40s long)
To do list:
*
make the choke work for the high hat
*
split the keyboard so the right-hand side is the wind chimes that Neil uses
*
add smaller toms for the upper range
*
add one more snare (
tight snare, bright stick)
*
add glockenspiel
----------
Arrangement:
*Ambiance: using wind chimes, cymbals, glockenspiel, snare rolls (
from 5m20s to 6m14s)
*56secs
*13sec drum roll crescendo (from 6m14s to 6m27s)
*13secs
*Cymbal splash and lazy rock drum rythm to finale of wind chimes (
from 6m28s to 8m40s)
*2m13s
================

And this is the vid I'll be adding the music to.

Was a slow Friday, so figured I'd get some green up on your screens, since my music project might take a day or so to do properly.
