We recorded his Warwick Corvette into a Dbx 580 preamp and FMR Audio RNC500 ‘Really Nice Compressor’.

I was blessed with the chance to have a talented bass player and good friend of mine David O’Neill to track the bass for this tutorial.

Let’s turn our attention to the bass part. Just like Brexit, set the year to 1970 and increase the input gain a little. This was still a little too hi-fi so I added some iZotope Vinyl, which can be used a little like an EQ. The sound is quite dry and thin so I’ve brought the internal reverb down and used some Logic EQ to remove some low-mids and boost around 7.5 kHz. I opted for another Native Instruments Kontakt sound, this time the New York grand. It’s good enough for us to move ahead with. Then I’ve added some basic Logic EQ to tame the subs and higher frequencies, which wouldn’t be as present in an older soul record. I’ve added some Vulf Compressor by Goodhertz, using the 2-Bus Glue (Parallel) preset adding in some Analog Lo-Fi noise and reducing the amount of compression. However judging by the age of this record I’m going to hazard a guess it was made with fewer microphones and will just work processing the stereo output.įor every track in this I’m going to add some Waves Kramer HLS Channel strip to simulate the type of desk that might have been used to track this. Logic’s Drum Kit designer has a dead-posh multi-output setting, allowing us to mix each individual element of the kit separately. I’ve also tuned the kick and hi-hats up a few cents and tuned the snare down. I made some small changes to the kick drum pattern, added in a crash cymbal and slightly tweaked the high-hat pattern to 16ths instead of 8th notes. You can convert this to a MIDI track by ctrl + clicking (or right click) the newly created region and following Convert > Convert to MIDI region. I’ve loaded the R&B drummer “Rose” and used the “New Soul” preset. The backing track comprises of drums, bass, a few guitars and piano. I’ve got the sample at roughly 81.9982 bpm but I think we’ll work at a nice round 82 bpm if that’s alright with everyone else?
