Crossing Streams is a track from our album Shopping Mall. This is another one of the tracks that I’m playing bass on. This might be described as having a Spy-Fi sound. What do you think? The cover art is by Todd Alcott.

What’s the weird ratchet type noise made with?

The ratchet type noise is made with an instrument that is called a Guiro. It is available in the Orchestral Kit in the Logic program.

Seems like forever since I’ve posted anything so here you go. Its written on guitar in open G tuning but I made chords as if it were in standard tuning. Come from grabbing the wrong guitar one morning to practice and going, “hey, that kinda doesn’t suck”

I really like the sound of the drums in this one. Is it some drum machine? The whole sound/mix reminds me of Cameo’s Word Up for some reason.

I can kind of see why you think that. Cameo’s hit sounds to me like a straight LinnDrum LM-2 with a bit of extra compression. Larry’s drum sound also sounds like a Linn (which I am sure it isn’t, but a lot of ROMplers sound sort of like a Linn.)

I use a dr5 or a zoom 234 or an app on my phone called loopz. Pretty sure this was the dr5, then I play with the eq, reverb, etc to keep it from sound as sterile as it does right off the machine. I only take the presets and then speed them up or slow them down. If its is ever as popular as “Word Up” i’m pretty sure I can retire.
