Well This experiment worked well. Found a new recording method. I can record song parts loops by using Digitech Jamman Stereo pedal. A pedal I got to loop parts to learn to play drums with since I can't play two instruments at once. Finding anyone to play music I'm interested is hard not to mention the scheduling differences that always get in the way. I record parts into the pedal using guitars and a Roland JV1080 module keyboard. My bass amp is still blown so the bass parts are synthetic Ableton bass instruments. Which didn't sound too bad. The experiment was too see if I can actually use any of those parts for actual recordings. My first problem was tempo issues. The jamman pedal does not have any way to input the bpm.

Welcome Ableton Live. Loops are 'warped" into the correct bbpm to fit your needs. Hitpoints can be moved also. It's so intiutive to getting stuff done instead fiddling with cubase's stupid browser or melodynes long processing time and too much time taken away from the creative process. Thank God for ableton I didn't want to spend the money on a Boss RC5 pedal that can input the BPM manually.

W.I.P. Still needs vocals and some live drums probably. That's gonna be fun. Also add some vibrato/bends to the bass parts and end of bars. Need to reinstall Windows 7 64 in Lenovo T510 laptop. I can use more ram but Ableton is a 32 bit host, so I might only gian an extra gig of ram to work with. Might be good to take all that bloatware out anyways.

Need to buy-Mics to record drums maybe a condenser, possibly mixer, AB pedal, New KRK studio monitors. Need some hi quality cables maybe from guitarfetish. Mic stands.
