This is so cool! The orchestra bells (you said they say "CB" on them, are made by CB Percussion) sound best when you play them with brass mallets ( or any metal tipped mallet). I love what you did with the rubber band! This is so cool!
Thanks for the helpful replies! I forgot to ask what mic you were using for sampling....looks like a condenser of some sort. Would you go with a condenser like a Studio Projects B1 for sampling, or the standard Shure SM57? People often recommend me SM57, but I'm not just wanting to do standard amp micing and drums, but rubberband banjo, wine glasses, etc.
In this one I used an SM57 for the rubber band and a stereo condenser for the bells. I'll have to find that mic later to remember make/model, but in my experience it's noisy and best suited for loud things like overhead drum mics. I had to remove some hiss from the bell samples after recording them.
Haha. can I be the wacky sidekick? I'm good at shinanigans.
This is cool. I want Tracktion now. Does Garageband do this sort of thing? I'll have to look into it. You have indeed given me greater respect for the rubber band as a 'serious' instrument. :) The finished result is actually really cool.
Steve Jobs would never let you have this much fun. He would rather integrate Garageband with a word processor or something than give you a means of building a DIY software instrument.

It just says "CB" on the side, so I don't know. I picked it up for $5.00 at a garage sale, no case, no mallet.

Couldn't you have just done Select All and then hit Ignore Release?

Yes, I realized that after doing the video. Didn't take more than a minute anyway, though, so no huge loss.

Okay, that didn't take too long. They're at keithhandy dot com slash rubberband dot zip.
