Electric Bass loops - Ambient bass loops and FX ranging from
60-140 bpm in a range of keys. There are lots of 'synth pad'
sounding tones but played on the bass by journeyman bass player
Dean Cortez through several different TC Electronics rack units.
The G-Force, M2000, Fireworx, and Finalizer were utilized in
combinations to get some of these more exotic tones. Lots of
the material is very suitable for evocative film music, and
somewhat similar to some of Pink Floyd’s moods. These
are rockish, funky, and jazzy flavored ambient bass lines,
slides, harmonics, and a section of wailin’ plucked hi
notes, all played with the effects on during the sessions rather
than added after, to allow Dean to use the feel of the FX while
playing.
All loops are completely 'acidized' acid loops with the keys
set. The tempos and keys are noted in the files and folders,
so you can easily and quickly find the appropriate tempo style
and key to use in your song. Each folder generally explores
one theme with lots of useful variations.
There are 540 ambient bass loops in 5 folders. There are 530
MB in the 24 bit version, and 354 MB in the 16 bit version.
I've tried to describe the disc honestly and accurately, without the usual hype, to give you the basic idea of what's on the disc, but I encourage you to listen to some of the loop samples and demo songs to see if you like the feel of the musicianship.
