Improvisations

“Slapback” is an improvisation using a slapback effect (a longer delay time that feels like the sound is “slapping back” at you). I set up the effect in Pro Tools first (using the CSR Inverse plugin from IK Multimedia). After recording the improv, I duplicated the melody at the lower octave by using AmpliTube 2 from IK and adding a pitch shift pedal to the Detuned Jazz preset (you hear this effect alone at the opening). It’s fun to hear my instrument as a “bass” mandolin... When you hear two instruments playing, it is the original signal plus the octave transposition effect.-William BradburyPlease feel free to add a comment on the Feedback/Contact page.
