Grainy Ambient Delay Rob Allen Fretless Mouse Bass+Other Desert Cities and Velvet Machine iPad Apps

Here’s an ambient bass improv in AUM using two instances of Audio Damage’s Other Desert Cities and Phonolyth’s Velvet Machine. Other Desert Cities is marketed as a grainy delay and that description fits this app. Velvet Machine is a big, swelling reverb. The patch I used is a bit on the metallic side during the swells and gets a grainy sounds at times.

I played a Rob Allen short-scale Mouse bass with tape wound strings for this jam. Other AUv3 apps used in AUM include Bleass Compressor, ChannelEQ and Quantovox’s Spatializer.

Thanks for watching!
