Piano Walking Bass: From blues to jazz

Piano Walking Bass From blues to jazz

Piano Walking Bass: From blues to jazz

Walking bass is an essential element in blues and jazz music. The walking bass hitting a new note on every beat of each bar is a moving force in this kind of music.

However, as a solo pianist it can be tricky to get the left hand going while playing melody, harmony or even a solo in the right hand.

This book will walk you through some of the common walking bass lines starting with easy blues patterns and progressing to more advanced jazz lines.

It will guide you with some simple rules to make your own bass lines and it will bend the rules to make more interesting lines as well.

Mike Hawkins Presets For Serum Volume 1

Mike Hawkins Presets For Serum Volume 1

Mike Hawkins Presets For Serum Volume 1

Hi there! I’m happy to give you my brand new preset pack for Serum! Steve Duda did an amazing job with this synth, and it’s one of the all-round most flexible ones I can think of, so it only felt natural for me to use it to recreate the vibes that I feel make records fantastic. In this pack you’ll find 64 original synth presets built from the ground up. Some of them might sound “weird” at first listen (or in your particular track), however you can be sure that they all have been carefully crafted with a particular idea in mind. The “Knice Party” preset might sound strange on higher notes, but bring it down low and, boy, does that patch kill. “Streets” has something absolutely mad to it when played as a quick drop-pattern, “This One Loves Chords” sounds really sad alone – however strike up a great minor chord and listen to the after-effects of the sound. So good! And what about “Spacetime”? Perhaps not your typical arp, but play a few notes after each other and hear it come to life. And a patch like “Istanbul” changes significantly depending on how quickly you press the note. You get what I’m trying to say here. Go make some amazing records with these sounds! A good part of them have been used on/off in my own records when I need that “unique” layer – that has been more important to me with this pack than just putting together a folder of “Electro Leads 101”. Some of the sounds work great outside their range (“BA Beast” is a cool lead too!) and some of them you should keep in their intended range (“BA Clash” is a great low-player but a whimsy, horrible lead). And check out “BA State of EDM 2015” – a monstrous wobbly bass, but sounds like a fisher-price flute in the high notes. And then a big shout out to my friends 7 Skies, Toby Green and Futuristic Polar Bears who added a few sounds each and really helped the pack come to life. All the best! Mike Hawkins

Producer Loops Chilled Out Deep House Vol 1-3 Bundle WAV MIDI

By | October 31, 2020

Producer Loops Chilled Out Deep House Vol 1-3 Bundle WAV MIDI

Producer Loops Chilled Out Deep House Vol 1-3 Bundle WAV MIDI

‘Chilled Out Deep House Bundle (Vols 1-3)’ takes you on a sonic journey to the melodic and sometimes melancholic heart of House music. Featuring 1.9 GB of content, this quintessential pack is rich with deep house basslines, retro synth lines, vocal snippets, guitars, drums and those all-important House keys.

Stylistically, influence was taken from production talents such as Tim Engelhardt, Kaskade, and Producer Loops’ favourite, Dusky.

Pair these ice-capped Construction Kits with a little imagination for the ultimate Deep House exploration. The stripped-down rhythm sections provide enough drive to complement, rather than overwhelm the vocal performances.

MIDI Files Included:

‘Chilled Out Deep House Bundle (Vols 1-3)’ includes MIDI files for the majority of musical phrases heard in each Kit, allowing you to tweak the melodies and sound design to suit the needs of your production. MIDI has the added benefit of allowing you to go to extremes of pitch and tempo beyond which the loops were originally recorded, with no time stretching or pitch shifting artefacts.

One-Shot Samples:

This bundle also includes One-Shot samples, allowing you to create new beats, fills and loops to complement the existing material. Simply load them up into your sampler of choice and create an infinite number of new grooves and phrases.

Dry/Wet Loops:

For users looking to simply drag and drop, the ‘wet’ files contain all of the effects processing heard in the audio demos. But for producers looking to create their own effects mix, ‘dry’ loops are also included. Don’t like the wet loops? No problem; add your own effects.

Unlooped Riffs/Tails:

This sample library also comes with unlooped/tail versions allowing you to end a phrase with the decay of the reverb/delay applied to the loop, another Producer Loops exclusive product feature.

Royalty-Free:

All of the loops in this product are 100% Royalty-Free (including the vocal loops), so once purchased, you can use these loops in your commercial releases without having to pay any hidden costs.

Specifications:

• 15 Construction Kits
• ACIDized WAV Files
• Loops sync to BPM
• 44.1 kHz/24-Bit
• PC/Mac Compatible
• Royalty-Free (No Exceptions)

Choral-Orchestral Repertoire : A Conductor's Guide, Omnibus Edition

Choral-Orchestral Repertoire : A Conductor’s Guide, Omnibus Edition

Choral-Orchestral Repertoire: A Conductor’s Guide, Omnibus Edition offers an expansive compilation of choral-orchestral works from 1600 to the present. Synthesizing Jonathan D. Green’s earlier six volumes on this repertoire, this edition updates and adds to the over 750 oratorios, cantatas, choral symphonies, masses, secular works for large and small ensembles, and numerous settings of liturgical and biblical texts for a wide variety of vocal and instrumental combinations.

Each entry includes a brief biographical sketch of the composer, approximate duration, text sources, performing forces, available editions, and locations of manuscript materials, as well as descriptive commentary, a discography, and a bibliography. Unique to this edition are practitioner’s evaluations of the performance issues presented in each score. These include the range, tessitura, and nature of each solo role and a determination of the difficulty of the choral and orchestral portions of each composition. There is also a description of the specific challenges, staffing, and rehearsal expectations related to the performance of each work.

Choral-Orchestral Repertoire is an essential resource for conductors and students of conducting as they search for repertoire appropriate to their needs and the abilities of their ensembles.
