Making a backing track for my nephews project.

Hi mate.

Great version. Lovely sound on the Clapton Signature (I too am a Lace-Sensor user).


Interesting too about how you make your own BT's. Pretty much how I do things, but I always seem to have trouble with drum tracks, in particular the fills. No matter how loose the quantizing and how I vary the velocity they always seem to sound robotic, like an early 80's drum machine.

Anyway, great thread. Much appreciated.

Thanks for that Spike,

I use a Yamaha RM 50 for my drums(Some good kits in there that I don't use)

I made up a standard kit in the unit and I've used the same kit for all my backing tracks trying to make the tracks sound like the same drummer),
It doesn't have a sequencer so no preset rolls to choose from I had to play them in real time on my mother keyboard (Cheetah)
I think I've had the RM50 for about 15 years.(Cheap on E-bay now and again)
I just keep listening/tweaking the drum rolls until they sound reasonable.
The Bass sounds are from an old Roland U220 everything else is either a Roland JV 1080 or a Roland JV 880.

P.S I set my quantize 32 / 64.

Hey I'm a old (Fart so my daughter says)suffering from old age spread,I'm an almost made it and love all kind'sa music especially Hank Marvin.

Keep on Twanging...W.R

I love listening to your posts Watty. This is an interesting one and I adore your version of "She's Not There". You're a very talented man!
