Hello 2021 Live at Home

 Live at home and more experiments.


This time a Drum and wobbly bass. Let's try ;) 


Drums and Wobbly Bass 
This is the first track produced, performed and recorded in video after many years.
Live on VM-108 Wav DJ Machine only. No Keosspad support.
This basic track was created on Ableton and uploaded onto the Wav DJ software. 
The 4 bass patterns were uploaded separately into 4 (FX) keys No, synchronise. The bass upload has 4 different bass patterns/ FX buttons so it is possible to play them individually and change them as I please. 
This is the first track and I still try to make it better. 
YES... Lots of wobbly basses but that gives a human feel ;) 


Styles / Music / Samples

I need to come and write more specific stuff about the music styles I choose for this project (mainly ambient) but inside of the Ambient is many other styles, so here are some of the styles I have lined up for this music project:

AMBIENT
ELECTRONIC
TRIP_HOP
INDUSTRIAL
DUBSTEP
ETHNIC
DANCE (including Goa / Psy)
FLUTE PROJECT (a little project for a flute playing ;)

For now, I need to get these samples all organized and start to work on it .
Next more info ;)

WAVDJvm108 - Video

Hello and here it is the video explanation of the machine.
I did lost hours writing about the machine but I believe here is where everyone can really understand how all this works

Point to refer:
* I did forgot to say, I can change the time (bpm) of the drums in real time.
* I did forget to say, I can change all the sounds and drum patterns in this machine in any button.
* I didn't show the effect wheel working but she do scratch and pitch bend in the sounds when they are play true the korg.


After this , I think is all well explained in the video.
Sorry about my English but I am a foreigner and I didn't born to be a Hollywood start...
so damn it !

Here we go, from the studio direct to your computer screen, we proudly present...
THE VIDEO



Next you have a video explanation of how I do the live with this machine and kaossilator.

Chapter 16 - Track Structure (part 1)

Track Structure Experiments

Finally I catch up with my self :)

This is where I am writing as I am doing the things !
I am at the moment in the music structure, I have recorded the sounds and I have listen, I took some decisions and I will need to change:
1* Start of the track
2* Use more bass
3* Make more unrecorded sound movements with the Kaossilator

4* End of the Track

The reasons are:

1* Star of the tracks are always the same way.
This is because I am working with no synchronizer.
First I play the Improvised sound made in the kaossilator, next
The Drums , next
The background, next
more sounds.
This is ok and probably will be the total structure of the track but listen 10 tracks starting the same way and finish the same way can be a bit too much !?  I think !


2* I listen the tracks and they need bass... again, my girlfriend , say no !
I will try to use some more bass in the tracks and listen how it sounds.

3* Make more unrecorded sound movements with the Kaossilator.
Some low parts in the track need to use more (spare) sound FX, this helps to create movement in the track.


4* The end of the track, like the start, its always the same way.


 End of the track is the same, always !
Always start with the drums and finish with the drums.
At the end I have to switch off
The background, next,
The FX and at the end ,
The drums.

I can find some different ways to finish the track, the structure will have to be always like this but I can use other effects to cover the basic structure at the end.

* Track Structure
I start with a Kaossilator sound and next,,come in the drums. The sound looping with the drums will sound desynchronized for a start but after some time looping together, they start to transform into a synchronized rhythm.
Next come the background sound, that works exactly at the same tempo of the drum loop.
Here, the melody is created already from nothing and I am just follow the vibe by now:)

This makes all the difference because all the music produced , is produced and recorded just one time and is never the same again, totally unpredictable, can be the same sounds but the melody and effects are always played in a different way and this create a ambient vibe very nice and mental to hear.
Yes, very nice  :)

BUT
Start the track with the drums, its too violent !
For this reason, I start the track with the FX sound of the Kaossilator.
This despy the fact, that the drums will come next and not synchronized with the sound played, but the drum loops + the FX, soon start to make sense in your head :) :) and at this moment, it is just a melody created with the FX and the drums.
After this first 2 sounds are playing together, I come in with the background sound and after the background sounds , then I apply more sounds , change the rhythm, etc...

Very fun :)

Chapter 8 - Sound FX

Sound FX

The sound FX part of the WAVDJ is what excite me to make something with this.
Here I can have 900 sounds in wav and I can upload samples and loops into the machine.
This can be a FX wav file or a melody or a all track...  I will use this part of the machine to upload the (background) sounds for the tracks I will be constructing.
(More about this later, for now I am just showing the parts of the machine)

The display show 30 FX buttons, each one of this buttons can have 30 sounds, wish makes the 900 sounds all together.
As default from the software, this effects are simple sounds like, BIRDS,  this have 30 different bird sounds and etc...
Again, basic sounds but the good news is, this can be changed with any .wav sound file I want.


If I press BIRDS button for 5 seconds, The 30 buttons turn into 30 bird sounds , If I press SPACE, the 30 buttons will turn into 30 different space sounds ,etc...
Its a total of 900 different .wav music files that can be changed one by one.
