salsa electric quick experiment...

seeing how I love you all so much and that I can't record myself snoring and not post it, here is what I was fooling around with after I did my homwork :lol:

WARNING: the "drums" (if you can call them that) are just a computer metronome I mic'd, so the quality of them is horrific

I have fooled around with theis jazz riff for the longest time now, and I just sat down with the metronome and thought, "hey, that might have a cool salsa tone to it"...so I recorded a few the percussion for a minute just to see what I could do and experiment some...

DISSCLAIMER: I can't improv solos on electric worth anything, so...

Just one of those random occurances of exerimental recording, soon to be locked away in a vault forever :twisted:

blah blah blah. you complain too much, fire. seriously. that kicked.

nice use of the "drums" by the way.

it didn't sound as salsa as it did what you called the riff, which was uh...jazz. yeah! but it was fun. word!

you should make a whole song. no doubt.

HA! It's going into the vault forever!

BTW what program was the metronome in anyway? I wanna fiddle with crappy synthed drums too. :wink:

(edit: whoops, you didn't say it's not going into the vault forever, so my attempt at a sarcastic jibe really doesn't make much sense. Reading is fundamental.. :oops:

The drums are midi via this metronome..

http://www.pinkandaint.com/weirdmet.shtml

I stumbled upon many moons ago when I was trying to learn to do odd-meter songs and needed something better than a single-tone click-track..

But yes, you can make mono-phonic drum, repeating drum tracks with it.. one of my favorites:

512312422312

1 = Pedal Hi-Hat
2 = Open Hi-Conga
3 = Low Bongo
4 = Mute Hi Conga
5 = Acoustic Bass Drum

Temp = 360

..

About the mp3.. that opening is beautiful. I just got recording some stuff on my electric.. and couldn't help but think "damn I wish I could make guitar sound that sweet." I struggle to record electrics well for some reason or another. That's what 3 layers? Beautifully interwoven. The sour note at :53 is the only thing that irks me.. And that drum track might have spanned the jam, but it doesn't really go with it, I don't think. Good job.
