Megatight take on Jingle Bells, so intricate and multi-faceted, this takes the sleigh to another dimension!
Love the effects you used with Kara's voice and the contrast of chords :)
a fantastic and magical reframing of this holiday classic -- bravo to you and Kara! And Happy New Year!
Yesssss... this is a totally, wonderfully unexpected take on Jingle Bells. Thank you! I didn't even have to double dog dare you for this! Love it. Happy New Year, Zenboy.
p.s. Do you play sitar, tabla and tambura? I love those instruments. I'm waiting on an ibo drum (udu) to arrive... looking forward to getting into hand percussion again. Hearing the tabla makes me want to learn that, too!
Thank you for sharing all of these "How I Did It" details. Really appreciate it. Yessss... DSK... I've used their plugins before. Will definitely check out those particular ones.
Annnnnd... thank you for your very kind closing remark. It seems we're part of the mutual admiration society... I'm always very excited to hear the mixes you cook up. You've got a signature sound that is totally in-sync with what I dig. Thank you for all that you share in the Mixterverse.
Hmmm...I think I see a request for mwic developing. We need a “How I Did It” section added to MixterPlus. The foundation of the song is the Tambura (drone), which I found many moons ago in a soundfont set. I think the soundfont was in a huge collection called “Ultimate Soundfont Pack” or something close to that. It has a ridiculous amount of soundfonts—several hundred or more. There’s just about every musical instrument you can think of in this collection, but some of them are not so great sounding—hence the free element. I use an excellent free soundfont player called sforzando (by Plogue) to play soundfonts. All of this, of course, is hosted in my free DAW: Waveform (by Tracktion).
The rest of the Indian instruments come from two free plug-ins called DSK Indian DreamZ and DSK World DreamZ. If you are interested in just the tabla, there are numerous sites that offer free one hit samples that you can put in a sampler—or even a simple sequencer—and get some pretty good results. But I’ll bet noodling around in a midi editor note by note isn’t the experience you’re looking for!
Let me close by just saying that I admire your multi-talents that you contribute to the Mixter “brand”. I’m honestly blown away when I look at your back catalogue. Good stuff!
No apologies necessary at all! Well, those virtual instruments sound fantastic. Of course, now I'm extra curious, what free plug-in are you using for these instruments?
Sorry, but no--I don't play those exotic instruments. Twenty years ago I had a home studio set up with a guitar, bass, and keyboard. Since that time I have abandoned playing real instruments and now use virtual instruments exclusively. Then to make things interesting I use only FREE plug-ins.
I look forward to you introducing some ibo into your music.
Now that's a dare well met. And much enjoyed.
