So73 "Tremolos" - Akai LPK25 & LPD8; Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass; Danelectro Effects

Music available for download at: http://soundofseventythree.bandcamp.com/track/tremolos

This one is called Tremolos. It features the Akai LPK25 & the LPD8 which are a couple of new additions to my studio. It also features my original Reverend Warhawk electric guitar run through a Danelectro Surf & Turf compressor and a Danelectro Corned Beef reverb into a Vox Amplug, A Squire 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass run into a Vox Amplug Bass with the compressor on, Stylophone, Rotary Vibraphone from Apple's Jam Pack 1, Mellotron strings & 15 Choir from the M-Tron plugin, and GarageBand electric piano set to tine.

Let me just say that LOVE these new Akai laptop controllers! I've used a lot of midi controllers over the years big and small and these are a couple of the best controllers I have used of any size! The Akai LPK25 has a good feel for the size and great velocity response. The Akai LPD8 has the as good feeling pads of any drum controller I have used and again a great velocity response. Of course there are some compromises with the size but overall I love the response, feel and build of these little controllers. They fit perfectly with the way I like to work. I guess you should not expect any less from Akai.

The video as always was done with my Canon IS S3 and edited in iMovie. I hope my digital Harinezumi is here before my next video so I can use it for a bit of a change.

Things like this always make me realize that I shouldn't have gone the PC route...apples are so much better for music stuff, even all the free apple software owns any free PC software I can find for recording and MIDI. Either way, awesome stuff, I was initially trying to decide between the Akai LPK25 and the Korg Nanokey2, and this definitely is the cherry on the cake for the Akai.
