I guess you could call this a cheap trick, but after I had finished the first two Bassman clips it hit me that I could connect them to something really nice. So a cheap trick it might be, but on the other hand you get a real long and nice clip.

Ducking is an effect often used by DJs and in all kinds of broadcasting. It’s often achieved by the use of side-chain compression. Side-chaining is when you use the dynamic levels of one source to control the compression of your signal. It’s best described in example, for instance, it’s common to use this for the bass and kick drum. Compressing (thus lowering the levels) the bass when the kick drum enters to have them both fit together.

There are other ways to use side-chaining, but in this post we’re going to explore the above principle, usually called “ducking”. We won’t talk about kick drums and basses however. Ducking can be used to lower the music whenever your voice is present on another track. Recognize that? Used in countless radio shows.

Here’s part two of the same idea. It starts of with the same section that the first one ended with but then goes into a section that’s totally new. Notice the small drum break towards the end, I improvised that in one take on a keyboard while laying down the other drums, I impressed myself quite a bit there, didn’t know I had it in me!

Here’s a clip I came up with when I felt like playing around with a bass. First I just laid down the kick drum (which is really heavy) sort of like a metronome to have something to play to with the bass. I then added more drums and percussion (claps, hihats, cymbals, cowbell) as well as two different electric pianos. Finally I ran it through tape for some more analog feel.

Here’s a contemplative little thing built around some loop, kicks, electric piano and some weird backwards stuff. In case you didn’t know, I’ve been trying to put together lots of different types of clips now in the beginning so that people with all kinds of weird tastes can find something interesting here.

This looks like it could be interesting for people doing voice overs and podcasts.
