Disc Description : Dean Cortez Bass Volumes 1-3 consists of :

Volume 1: 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.

Volume 2: 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.

Volume 3: 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.

All these acid loops are completely “acidized” with the keys set. The tempos and keys are noted in the files and folders, so you can easily and quickly find the appropriate tempo style and key to use in your song. Each folder generally explores one theme with lots of useful variations.

There are 2025 files in 17 folders. There are 1.53 GB in the 24 bit version, and 1.02 GB in the 16 bit version.

Samples: I've tried to describe the disc honestly and accurately, without the usual hype, to give you the basic idea of what's on the disc, but I encourage you to listen to some of the samples and demo songs to see if you like the feel of the musicianship.
