@McD Nice tribute track for an early 80’s electric miles! Which apps did you use? Is it downloadable ? I Would love to play trumpet over !
Cool track McD, interested to know how you produced it ?
Especially liked the last minute or so !
Excellent. I love his later stuff. Tutu was my favorite. I saw him when he was touring that. Are you familiar with the Session Band apps? They have some great studio cats playing muted trumpet. You simply select the chords and they jam to it. Some might call that cheating, but the only alternative is to hire a live player. I can’t afford that!
Here’s the magic recipe. I take several LumBeats apps - in this instance:
Funk Drummer outputting to AUM destination on MIDI channel 1
Mid East Drummer outputting to AUM destination on MIDI Channel 2
Rock DM outputting to AUM destination on MIDI channel 3
I also let these apps output their own audio in the AUM Mixer.
Then route the AUM Destination MIDI through Rozeta Scaler to force notes to a scale.
E Minor Harmonic in this case. To avoid a static presentation of notes I send these AUM Destination
MIDI through 1 or more Rozeta Scalers with the Transposition (Pre and Post) tied to 1 or more Rozeta LFO’s
the move these knobs. So, drum patterns end up creating almost random notes across some selected scale.
I send one or more of the MIDI channels out of the scaler into iFretless Bass or SWAM Double Bass… both in this case.
So I load suitable instruments (3 PianoTeq 8 instances here) that provide E-Piano, Guitar, Felt Piano instances spread
across the 3 MIDI channels to form the “band” to go along with all that “live” drum action.
Then to break up the monotony I solo over the top with a SWAM Flugelhorn or B3 organ or a Roli Noise instrument.
Changing the BPM, selected styles in the Lumbeats apps (straight 8th vs triplets for example) and maybe changing the octaves
for the various band instruments. Basses are typically lowered 2-3 octaves and pushing far enough drops out the extreme notes and produces more spare bass lines. I can also test MIDI channel 1, 2 or 3 for good bass content.
NOTE: When you load these big rigs again in AUM you need to fix the MIDI Notes settings. Lumbeats apps turn off
“SEND NOTES” everytime and that’s what feeds the Scaler instance(s). It’s also important to turn on Ableton Link so everything starts together.
