what with the success of my last song "Aura Of Laura", I decided to try using some more synths as before, but this time add some guitars to the party. 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) http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7507512 as usual, tell me if you like it.

The percussion in places sounds like somone is flopping a wet rag or perhaps a dead fish against a sheet of drywall. The guitar playing sounds confused in some places.
