Level 42 - Take A Look - Played on Alembic Mark King Bass
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 7 měsíci
This is my version of Level 42's 1988 song that was released on the "Staring At The Sun" album. No vocals - this is an instrumental version to showcase the basslines. I play a 1997 Alembic Mark King Signature Model. The original recording suffers from the late 80s studio overkill-sound. I tried to create a slightly more natural sound. Apart from the bass it's all VSTis, no guitars.

    I had a Stanley Clarke standard model Alembic bass some years ago. A beautiful bass, but very neck heavy, so, inevitably, more difficult to play. Over the years, I’ve had all sorts of basses and, these days, I play a Ken Smith, a Sadowsky and a Spector. These are amongst the best, in my opinion.

      Yes Alembics sound brilliant and he did play them for a while, but i think what happened after he got Level 42 back together again (he went solo for wee while) is he wanted a new designed bass and Rob Green (status) was there to develop the Kingbass, and Mark would probably get money for using his own Status Signature models as well. But he has went full circle and is back using his Jaydee again. The bass that started it all, and they sound good as well.

    Hi, I finally got everything set up as you showed in this video, but I’m having an issue when looping over a beatbuddy loop that is in a different time signature other than 4. I’m trying to record a loop over a flamenco rhythm in 6/4, and it’s not syncing correctly. I have the loop setting in rc5 set to “free time” and still no good. I don’t have to have the same time signature set up in RC5 do I? Seems like I need to change a setting somewhere but not sure where. Any ideas?

    • @lakelandschoolofmusic
      @lakelandschoolofmusic Před 3 měsíci

      Upon further review, I find that if I loop one full measure or any number of odd measures over a 6/4 beat, it doesn’t sync correctly, however if I loop two measures or any even number of measures it does loop correctly. I think it’s because any amount of even numbered measures is divisible by “4”, and the empty RC5 loop I’m recording into is set to 4/4. I plan on using all kinds of odd time signature beats within the near buddy to create loops with, and I really don’t want to be restrained by keeping track of how many measures of 4 I have to record to stay in sync, or have to create and switch between separate presets on the rc-5 that each have a different time signature set. I could easily enough do the latter option, however I’m not even sure if the RC 5 has all the different time signature variations that the beatbuddy has. I really wish there was a way to sync by tempo only and have the freedom to play any time signature I want. Please let me know if you find a work around. Thanks!

    • @jwcbronski

      Yes that’s true. So I will just have to manually scroll through patches on the rc5 anytime I pull up an off time signature on the beatbuddy. Not ideal, but totally doable. Have you gotten into creating custom playlist folders in your beatbuddy? I saw where beatbuddy just released a software management website where supposedly you can upload, edit, and organize songs in you beatbuddy. I definitely want to tackle that next, creating some custom folders with setlists. Any tutorials on that topic? Love the Buddy!

    Great video! When the beat buddy and Rc 5 are synced, is there a way to start the beat buddy without recording a loop so I can listen to and play along with the beat for as long as I want to, and then loop the beat and the instrument I’m playing whenever I’m ready? I’m currently only using the RC-5, and I like to start the beat first and play along with it until I find a groove I want to loop, and then I press the record loop button on RC5. I’m wondering if I can do the same thing with best buddy and rc5. I don’t play cover songs when I play, I write and loop music spontaneously and then improvise over the loop, so it’s important that I can hear and play along with the beat first, without being in record mode, and then engage record mode when I’m ready. Thanks!

      I don't think that you can use the RC-300 as a MIDI slave. I've tried it with the RC-5 and it basically works but the playback of the recorded loops is kind of distorted.
