Title: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 14, 2008, 01:25:14 PM Here is an interesting conga track..well it started life as congas anyway. :)
There is enough variation in this, that you could snip out sections that you like and loop them if you want to use this. Be my guest. Wyatt Ps..if you come up with something interesting from this, I would love to hear it.. ..maybe post it to this thread, eh? Cool. Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Laguna Rising on March 14, 2008, 06:19:38 PM Nice congas stuff.
I save it in my wip folder, who knows ?! it could be useful... Thanks for sharing Cheers Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: kara on March 14, 2008, 06:27:42 PM Realy good recording Wyatt
Could you send me or upload on the ftp (you know where) the wav file, i'm gonna make some loops from this Very well done :; k Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 14, 2008, 07:40:22 PM Realy good recording Wyatt Could you send me or upload on the ftp (you know where) the wav file, i'm gonna make some loops from this Very well done :; k @Laguna..I'm curious to hear someday what you do with it! :) @kara..Email sent. Glad you like it. There are some really fun loops there. Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Oren on March 15, 2008, 08:10:41 AM Wyatt,
No clue how you did that, fella, but it's one of the coolest rhythm tracks I've heard :; Your 3 minute 16 second track could be used as-is for the basis of a stylin' tune. Put the lime in the coconut.... :D Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 15, 2008, 10:46:49 AM Wyatt, No clue how you did that, fella, but it's one of the coolest rhythm tracks I've heard :; Your 3 minute 16 second track could be used as-is for the basis of a stylin' tune. Put the lime in the coconut.... :D Glad you liked it Oren. I used only three tracks to make it. I think the blender was set to liquify. ;D I plucked 9 different loops out of it yesterday. Different, progressive, and yet they all mix and match nicely. I'd love to hear you do something wild with it. :) Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Oren on March 15, 2008, 12:32:30 PM Yep, that puppy would support some wildness :D
First I have to see how wild I can get with a certain Folderol creation....(that man may learn to hate me ::)) Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: folderol on March 15, 2008, 05:01:44 PM I'm watching you ;D
... I might even have time again to listen to some of these tracks soon ::) Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: elwoodblues1969 on March 15, 2008, 06:36:07 PM Wyatt,
This is very cool stuff...this is just what I need...some external inspiration! Thom Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: folderol on March 15, 2008, 08:33:54 PM Interesting track. Plenty going on, but still lots of space for a chromatic 'overlay'.
Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 16, 2008, 12:05:06 AM Thanks guys,
I appreciate your comments. I have had some fun sliding conga tracks into all sorts of music. You'd be surprised how tasty a little salsa can be. :) I hope to be doing some more of that soon, and with a bit o' luck, I'll have something to post. ;D Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: MarioD on March 16, 2008, 08:10:04 PM This is really cool.
I’d like to hear what some of you can do with this. Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 18, 2008, 05:05:49 PM OK..here's something I recorded yesterday, to share with you, using and abusing different parts of the congalaya track. ;D
Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: folderol on March 18, 2008, 08:04:20 PM Sounds good.
See I said there was plenty of space ;D Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 18, 2008, 08:53:28 PM Sounds good. See I said there was plenty of space ;D Thanks Will! ..yep..I agree with you. ;D Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: elwoodblues1969 on March 18, 2008, 10:31:53 PM Wyatt,
Interesting guitar work,but it seems to be a little out of sync with the drums and quite sloppy at certain moments in this piece-which is understandable since you were just laying down an idea on the fly,so I am sure it will sound wonderful when you do some fine tuning to this piece. Despite the shortcomings,you did a fine job trying to mesh intricate guitar work with a difficult drum track. I look foroward to your progress on this. :) Cheers, Thom Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: MarioD on March 18, 2008, 11:48:59 PM Wyatt, this is a great concept and I believe it has a lot of potential.
That was a super job blending the guitars with the percussion. With a little polish this will be dynamite! You may want to give the guitars a break or two and solo the drums for a few measures here and there. Just an idea, don’t know if it’ll work or not. I’m looking forward to the finished product! Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 19, 2008, 01:00:47 AM Thanks guys..I will have another listen in the morning.
I am sure I can improve this. Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: kara on March 19, 2008, 08:03:25 AM This piece is a whole story by itself, only congas and guitar, very interesting 8)
I agree with other comments. Give it a bit room in some spots and you'll have to allign some chops, but you know how to do that ;D Good work Wyatt ! k Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 19, 2008, 06:37:40 PM Kara,
Thank you for listening and for your comments. I think this one is worth putting the effort into. It is taking me a little bit to get used to things, but I am having fun again, finally, and that is a good sign. More soon. Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 21, 2008, 09:49:03 AM Here it is, finally..
I felt like cr@p the last couple days.. ..and I really didn't feel like fooling around with it.. ..but I did fool around with it.. ..a whole lot.. ..and I am really glad I did. ;) Thanks for all your comments, Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: kara on March 21, 2008, 12:23:41 PM I like this a lot Wyatt
A minimal arrangement for a great result :; k Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 21, 2008, 01:21:48 PM Thanks a lot.
I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: MarioD on March 21, 2008, 06:18:38 PM You nailed it :;
Super! Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: folderol on March 21, 2008, 06:23:26 PM It comes over as a sort ethnic+modern jam session - very nice.
Beautifully clean mix. Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Laguna Rising on March 21, 2008, 08:07:04 PM Well done Wyatt ! 8)
I like the mood of it, and I like the playing style. Interesting passages Cheers Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 21, 2008, 09:25:58 PM Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and for your comments.
This was a great opportunity to get used to my new DAW, (Audition 3), and take my new computer out for a spin around the block. I am such a sucker for a chance to put congas with different styles of music. :) Wyatt Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Laguna Rising on March 23, 2008, 09:21:28 PM @Laguna..I'm curious to hear someday what you do with it! :) done very quickly not sure about the mix... :-\ not sure about the melody :-\ rather empty for my standard ::) let me know if you like/dislike ;D Cheers Title: Re: Conga-laya Post by: Wyatt on March 23, 2008, 10:13:12 PM Laguna,
WOooow! I love what you did with it. Great mix and the melody is interesting and holds my attention. Yes it is a spare mix for you, but then, this is a busy drum track. :) Nice ending too. Thanks for sharing that. Wyatt |
