Grainy Ambient Fretless Bass Build | Other Desert Cities App with Rob Allen Mouse Bass

00:00 Intro and signal chain
00:28 AUM setup
00:46 Bleass Compressor sounds
01:40 Other Desert Cities sounds
04:15 Velvet Machine sounds
06:57 The Jam
10:54 Wrap up

Here’s a walkthrough of my setup for an improv powered by two instances of Other Desert Cities in AUM. Other Desert Cities is described as a grainy delay and I paired these with a metallic patch in the Velvet Machine AUv3 reverb app. I walk through the apps and sounds and then play a short bass jam.

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

Thanks for watching!
