How I Did It


by gmz
Tools I Used
The base setup is a 9-tracks Ableton Live project. Most plug-ins are Ableton bundled or in Max for Live, while others involved are:
PSP (Nitro, Mix Saturator, Vintage Warmer)
iZotope Ozone
AfroDJMac Gibson Ebow Pad (http://bit.ly/dOd1ps)
Samples I Used
As this was a secret mixter, every sample comes from Nethis (main jingle and guitars). Drums are sampled from Nethis files and assembled with some KJ Sawka's MIDI and drum packs ( free download on http://www.ableton.com/library/kj-sawka ).
Original Samples
Ebow and bass lines.
Process
First came the jingle. Started sampling every time shorter until it was obsessive enough. Next I started playing on pitched reverbs and echoes to let it shift around. And then every sampled thing from Nethis files just piled up!
