I recorded these in a tiled room (aka my shower) and am sitting here on the floor of my bathroom with my laptop sitting on my toilet. The audio interface is up on my sink and the mic (Rode NT-4) is sitting there in my shower stall. So, if you hear some extra brightness, now you know why. I thought I'd give it a go, to see what would happen. Never hurts to try right?
Also, in the middle of today's recording session my daughter (aged 4) had a bathroom emergency - which made me want to subtitle today's loops as "Poopy Loops" but I think I'll just stay with my typical naming scheme. Here they are:
Loop of the Day for Nov 17 Dbd loop 83bpm 8th Tamb w BackBeat
Loop of the Day for Nov 17 Dbd loop 83bpm w 16th tamb shake w Backbeat
Oh, and I used 3 tambourines that I rarely use (I've got, like, a GAZILLION tambourines - but in the studio it always seems like the Rhythm Tech w/ aluminum jingles is the one that sounds "good" to everyone - so that's typically the one that gets recorded the most):
- Egyptian Belly Dancing tambourine (metal with a head) - plays the backbeats
- Ludwig Concert Tambourine (silver jingles (taped), calf-head) - plays the 8ths
- African Tambourine (goat head, kente cloth color on the sides with cheap aluminum jingles) - plays the 16th shaking part
