Musical Microblogging: Tricked Out Grid Number 8

I feel like I’m running a bit out of steam with using SoundGrid as a jumping off point for musical microblogging. Perhaps the thing to do is to learn how to use the app for real.

Anyway, here’s Grid Number 8.

On top of the SoundGrid noises, I added one “lunar strings” part in GarageBand, along with two guitar tracks. For the solo part, I used the “Jazz Club” effect settings. “Dreamy Texture” was what I put on the other one.

Here’s Grid #6, with a couple of tracks layered on in GarageBand: two bass parts one guitar part, one piano part, and one recording that I made while riding up the escalator out of a Metro station.

On top of the SoundGrid track, I layered on GarageBand’s “Wave Bass” effect. I also made use of the “Filter Bass” and “Seventies Bass” effects on the bass tracks, along with the “Lowdown Blues” set up for the guitar part.

Musical Microblogging: Grid Number 5

This is a bit of a better outing with SoundGrid, I think.

The way this happened: first, I recorded 20 seconds using the SoundGrid app. Then, like last night, I pulled it into GarageBand, only this time I tricked out the MP3 file with a GarageBand delay effect. Then I layered on the GarageBand sounds, including some Jazz Organ and one of my favorites, Lunar Strings.
