Its been a few weeks and I have 3 new tracks in the making. I am pretty excited about these as I am finally using a bit more guitar in my mix.
I have got hold of some old "Soundblaster" type multimedia speakers and plan to re-mic a series of licks using my Korg M3 through them. I got this idea from a group called Noisia. They run their baselines through a similar computer speaker and create some of the dirtiest baselines I have ever heard. Because these are so small, boxed in plastic and ported for extra bass, it resonates like crazy between a 500 and 100Hz. When I drive it hard, below this I get major rattle as the box wants to crumble and it just spits back at me. Fantastic distortion!
I bounced some pads this morning for track number two.
