RE: Mind Relief REMIX for Work and Productivity
The bass is real, a scrappy old Wardair model. Copied the track and ran filters on it to get the sound - no guitar, just the bass w/ different effects. Keyboards & drums are digital but I built them note by note, beat by beat.
Thank you for dissecting that for me ... Ah, so the effect on the bass must have spread the spectrum to make it sound like also a guitar...
...on second listen I realize what I thought was guitar is actually the piano you mention above.
I look forward to hearing more from you!
I got that completely wrong. When I checked my files I saw that it was all guitar (a low budget Epiphone), with no bass. The original scratch track was all bass, and I'd always just thought of it that way since, even after playing it on guitar. I wrote a post about it here, with a video of the scratch track for comparison. So my mistake has hopefully produced some value.
Piano's the same though.
That's cool ain't it? I mean the way the memory finally floods back once you properly recall how it all was done ... Makes me wonder how much of my memory is accurate because I do presume I have great long term memory. btw, Epiphone's, even though back in the day we'd call them 'Les Paul copies', are now considered 'quality vintage' ... (I'm a keyboard player who sat in with plenty of guitar rockers, btw ... )
Details can change but it's the value of the memory that counts. The experience of you playing as a keyboardist matters, rather than, say, the date of a gig. In past tense of course. Upcoming gigs, get the date:)
...or as I heard, "They don't always remember what you say, but they do remember how they felt when they heard it."
