memotone Live 2010. Dorset Music Awards Entry 1

Loops-Boss RC-50, Samples-MPC 1000, Effects-Kaoss Pad 3.
Another bedroom session. This time put together for the first rounds of the Dorset Muisc Awards.
A mix of live instrumentation and samples, but as always. Everything is my own sounds. This piece started to form on tuesday last week and has been practised over and over since then and performed for the judges. It went as well as I could have hoped.
Please enjoy!
All the best,
memotone

@Orangetuan I have a Microphone (and Rode NT1-A) plugged into my loop pedal. It is that silver thin poking out of the draw behind the glockenspiel. Cheers for listening! Glad you like it. All the best, Will/memotone

What are you running all these instruments through? Are there mics around to pick up the mini xylophone? Are the little click and pop samples ones you've made in a DAW yourself? and placed into the sampler? How do u get the song to drop out in specific parts?

@redbarronz125 Alright man, Cheers for listening. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Didn't get a notification of you comment. There is a mic behind the glockenspiel yes (it's silver, you can just about see it poking out of the draw. It's a Rode NT1-A. The click and pop samples are all my own yes. As it the voice sample (my own voice) just chucked in the MPC from my computer. I am running it all through a Boss RC-50 Loop-station and recording onto my Zoom H4.

hey memotone,

big fan here in the states. I was wondering how you have it so the MPC can play normally through the KP3 without putting any type of filter on. Everytime I have something running through the KP3 no sound comes out except when I put a filter on and use the "hold" function. It sounds like you've got the MPC going into the KP3 which then goes into the RC-50...is that correct? Any help appreciated...

Cheers,

Kozy

@kosakattack Alright man, cheers for listening. And I am indeed playing my MPC through the kaoss pad. You can do it very simply by just setting it to 'Direct' on the connection switch on the back panel. Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Was not notified of your comment. Cheers! Will/memotone

@McPhale It certainly is better! I have had both. Sorry I have taken so long to get back to you. Sometimes YouTube does not notify me of new comments and it's not until I check myself that I find them.
