Dean Cortez Vol 1 Ambient Bass  Ambient and FX Bass loops ranging from 60-140 bpm in a range of keys. There are lots of “synth pad” sounding tones but played on the bass by journeyman bass player Dean Cortez through several different TC Electronics rack units. The G-Force, M2000, Fireworx, and Finalizer were utilized in combinations to get some of these more exotic tones. Lots of the material is very suitable for evocative film music, and somewhat similar to some of Pink Floyd’s moods. These are rockish, funky, and jazzy flavored ambient bass lines, slides, harmonics, and a section of wailin’ plucked hi notes, all played with the effects on during the sessions rather than added after, to allow Dean to use the feel of the FX while playing.

Dean Cortez Vol 2 Electric Bass  Electric Bass loops ranging from 70-135 bpm in a range of keys. There are a wide variety of playing styles and techniques on this disc including lots of funky, jazzy, and rock bass lines, bass chords and harmonies, harmonics, bass slides, ambient chords and ambient volume FX. All played by journeyman bass player Dean Cortez.

Dean Cortez Vol 3 Slap Bass  Slap bass and ambient slap bass loops played by journeyman bass player Dean Cortez. Tempos range from 60-144 bpm and include a wide range of keys. These are super funky with a bit of rock and jazzy flavors. One folder is ambient (with FX) and one folder is without FX. The files that have FX were played with the FX on while playing and not added after to allow Dean to use the feel of the FX while playing. Each lick is unique. There is no duplication of one file with and one without FX.

Dean Cortez Volumes 1-3  All of the masterful playing on the first 3 volumes!
