Dinosaur #9 Sorry Bill
Переглядів 1414 днів тому
Bill Ludwig, a favorite collaborator, sent me some tracks from a new album he's working on, called Dinosaur. The ninth track on that album was a drone piece, a single chord held almost all the way through. I loved the texture of that piece. It reminded me of Brian Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets. I decided to continue with the drone theme, and tried several resample techniques before settling in ...

So this is fun. My longtime collaborator DW Hoyt released his song Dani Wūrfel last week. I kept the words, gave it a beat, sped it up by around 20%, and resampled his guitar and made it into the synth you hear here. Doug provided the video.

Anyone Quite Like You - Sorry Gary
Переглядів 1293 місяці тому
Here's a radio ready toe tapper, #1 with a bullet, you might think is rather rather Daft. My newest imaginary band, "Sorry Gary", performs purloined tracks from the famed G.Wood archives and destroys them in perhaps interesting ways, all while stealing the best ideas from Dr. G and the hairy Herr "Harry" Hoyt. HA! Reaper, Tukan Studios Vocoder, Vocal and Drum Break samples from Cymatics.

    However, the running time of the sample changes with each note. So this use of the samples is definitely not the same as in the Reaper Media Explorer! Because if I transpose a sample in the Media Explorer, the running time of the sample remains the same...which is not the case in your example. 😉

    • @DThompson55

Thank you so much! It's a good thing I watched your video short clip. Buddy, I'm really impressed because the quality of the Reaper sampler with real-time transposes is much better than the TAL sampler. With the TAL sampler, the samples often start to clink and distort after the 3rd note up or down...but with Reaper, the quality remains pretty stable even when going up or down an octave. So thank you again! 😉👍

      i don't know anything about that maker, but the description looks sketchy to me. Guitar is misspelled, they call it a pedal steel in the description, the wood is poplar, which is not a hardwood. I'd pass just based on attention to details. But boy, prices sure have popped on lap steel guitars, recently. Prepandemic the Rogue RLS-1 could be found for around $100.

    Hi, I have a question. I bought an Akai MPK Mini MK3 midi keyboard. I would like to use the cc key function of the keyboard to assign reaper actions to the PADs using a section customized by me, for example: putting a track into record, muting a track... To be used in live to easily change tracks assigned to my midi keyboard and therefore have different sounds. I tried to do this, for example: putting track 1 into record but when I immediately release the PAD button the track goes back not into record as before. How do I assign the action with a PAD key, in CC mode so that even when released it remains? (For example I tried to do it by assigning the action to the letter Q on the keyboard and in this case once the letter is pressed it functions and the track remains in record). Thanks!

    People will and should wonder what the heck I'm thinking here. I've been looking at advanced features of Reaper, among them the MK Slicer, which is what happened to Doug's vocals. But also considerable time working on new techniques of tempo mapping, and forcing a prerecorded drum loop to match Doug's subtle .variations in timing. Days spent reorganizing my samples libraries. I'm hoping these practices will pay off in the coming weeks and months.
