Oud Dub [Jam session sections: RAW2022 - 2] by Mrs. Audio Boy published on 2022-07-02T20:04:16Z After taking a hiatus I'd like to turn your attention to this latest upload of mine, featuring samples of the oud, a stringed instrument common to the Middle East. Please bear in mind that I didn't play the oud; sadly, I am not such a virtuoso. However, I am getting quite experienced in choosing samples that fit my jam sessions, and using this exotic instrument yielded quite enthralling results in my humble opinion. In this particular session I was experimenting with G minor, which took me outside of my usual comfort zone of C minor. As so often the case, I used a combination of Eurorack modules, the Arturia MircroBrute, and some pre-prepared drum and drone pad samples. These sounds were looped on the Boss RC-300 loop station. After setting up the sound frame using Eurorack and the Arturia MicroBrute, I played back a couple of Youtube videos together with my sounds; something that I have been practicing for a quite a while now. At the end I settled for following two videos: - G minor oud Improvisation (https://youtu.be/vIBjXLFv1vE) - Emotional Gm (G minor) CHORD - Ambient Backing Track #13 (https://youtu.be/PLqvVSGuRlI) The jam session was recorded in Audacity. In post-production I used the best parts from the jam session to create this track. As I already expected, I had some trouble with playing back the oud sounds in such a manner that they fit the track and especially its tempo. So I had to heavily edit these samples in post production and put them back together with my sounds in order for them to sound as desired. While doing so, I also employed some reverb, high pass filters and a limiter within Audacity, albeit very sparingly. Other than that, no elaborate effects or mastering techniques were used, you basically listening to a short and condensed version of the jam session. As always, the result is highly dynamic, so headphones are recommended. Also, please turn up that volume knob because Loudness War is for losers! MAB logo by @maxim-lichtenwald, check him out! I hope you enjoy!
