And I think I succeeded this time. "Booty Dread" uses elements of reggae
(well, Police-style reggae) in with some atmospheric synth pads, and
some echoed and reverbed guitars. In fact, the challenge here was to fit
them all in while maintaining sonic space so the tune could breath.
DAW - Cubase studio 4 on Intel Mac Mini
all guitars - Squier Telecaster Custom II through Digitech RP-250,
further effected with
the TAL-Delay 2
bass: Peavey Millennium BXP through IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX UNO
synths: NI FM7 and Novation V-Station plugs, all triggered with Peavey Falcon/
Roland GI-10
drums: LinPlug RM-IV, triggered by Toontrack EZ Player
(actual MIDI drum loops played by Frank Basile at Smartloops)

We hav about the same degree in this art, except all the tools I use
go through a mouse and QWERTY, so I can't do anything but sing when it
comes to the live performance, unless I sing along with synth tracks
on a USB key in the amp. The main difference is that I do not try to
stretch it out to five minutes if it really is destined to be a 45s
(the recommended max) ringtone. I'm lucky if I get fifteen seconds out
of my melodies. Mixing bells and bayse, though -- similar to what I
was getting with a pitch-scaling multi-tap delay. I hav more figuring
to do on what the ratios ought to be on it for the next time I use it.
