Wookiee Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Something a little different. Making use of some of the tools at my disposal, some of the playing is curtesy of EZKeys grooves, my chord selection. The Bass and Drums are my own as are the lead lines Slow Down Toys I have. Instruments Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 Avatar Default minor mixer tweaks and cymbal choices. EZBass 1 Fretless Clean DI EZ Keys X 2 Hybrid Harp & Cinematic Pads Arturia Wurli V3 The Gig Tweaked Jupiter 4 Softube Model 72 FX Used Infected Mushroom Wider Moog Moogerfooger MF 104S Delay Boz Digitals +10dB compressor. All other FX Stock Cakewalk Sonar or S-Plat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Nice! I'm trying to decide today if I should buy EZkeys2, it's on sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Inventive use of EzKeys - I'm currently trying to do more of this (writing my own chord progressions and then applying EzKeys grooves using the replace midi function) - instead of just writing lyrics for the built-in grooves written and played by someone else - although that's been fun to do (and it worked out pretty well for Bernie Taupin). 😉😂. I'm finding Scaler pretty good for developing chord progressions I wouldn't have necessarily thought of. Nice work. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an interesting tool, it would be easy to "cheat" and use the grooves they supply and build songs. I don't think it is their intention though, as noted by Andy it, like Scaler 2 can help find alternative chords to give more flow. The other reason is if, like myself, the paws just aren't as articulate as they were, old and arthritic, frequently painful, using tools like this and Scaler 2, I can keep making noise. 😉 Thanks for your ears, time and kind words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy They are all tools to be used creatively, some abuse, but the inventive and creative exploit. Thanks for the time, the ears, and comments.

bjornpdx Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 I like the kind of Theremin sound in there. I bought UJam virtual pianist recently on sale. It's similar to EZKeys I think. Haven't used it yet. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I think that's the best track of yours I've heard - it's hauntingly familiar (and haunting!) in a really good way. I'd mix the lead "theremin" with a little less top end and a little more delay/reverb, but apart from that, I think it's a great mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
