_ _ I feel like I want to put a little bit of more ambience on the drums.
I think I'm going to go for a bit of like a slap sort of thing on the drums.
So I'm going to turn on this tape echo here.
We'll start with this just to add a little bit of a slap.
_ So what I've got is a re-amp.
I've got a bus going into the re-amp.
And in this case I'm a big fan of the radial _ X-amps.
So I've got a bus going into the X-amp.
So I'm feeding the signal from the board out of that going into whatever effect I choose. _ _
And output, _ which is going to feed a DI, which is coming back to the board. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So let's see.
_ First I'll start off, I think I'll_
_ _ I'll _ feed the compressor that the drums are going through into the X-amp.
It's coming out of a DI to a mic pre.
In this case it's the EPI 512. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#]
What's also nice using [F#] a tape echo [E] is a lot of times it gives you ideas [A] because it's random.
Because you're not [F#] actually [A#] inputting numbers for [E] a quarter note or an eighth note or what have you.
[B] So it's a bit random.
So sometimes you might [D] come across an echo [F#] that's just kind of random.
And it gives [E] you an idea for a different [A] sort of flavor than you [B] might have intended.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
A lot of times I'll [G#] try to see [C#] where the quarter note is.
So I'll just [D#m] tweak it until I [E] get the timing pretty close.
[C#] _ _ _ [F#] _
So
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ [E] that would _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [F#m] be _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ like my starting point.
And I can kind of _ experiment from here.
But sometimes it sounds cool to have this subtle quarter note delay going with the drums.
_ Because it gives it this sort of [E] dirty quality.
It gives it an air about [N] it.
Especially if you use it subtly you can_
It just sounds like part of the drum sound.
And so you're not actually aware that there's an echo doing, you know, playing with the rhythm. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ So I think that's what [C#] actually I'm going to do.
So [F#] once I get sort of close to [A] something with the tape echo, I'll at that point print it.
So I have it this way.
I don't have to keep running the tape echo for the whole song which saves the tape. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well done.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [D] _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] I've actually printed a plate [F#] here.
_ _ _ _ [E] When we were [G] recording this, we actually did it [F] live.
So I'm going to [A#] use it in the mix.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ You can hear the Rhodes [F#] playing there in the background.
[C#] _
_ _ So let's [N] see.
There's the other Sharky.
Sharky is playing the guitars on this record. _
_ _ _ He's an amazing guitar player.
And I think I want to add some echoes [E] to him as well. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So this [B] is what D'Angelo likes to call the drippings.
