4-track cassette mixing: Creating a track with tape loops
Alessandro demonstrates how he transforms Logic sessions into four-track cassette recordings, utilizing EQ and effects like reverb and shimmer for a lo-fi warmth. He emphasizes the flexibility of using a pitch wheel for live performance, allowing for dynamic pitch control and creative experimentation. The arrangement is divided into four distinct tracks: main sequence, melody, bass, and stereo effects. This setup provides Alessandro with the ability to creatively manipulate pitch bends and audio placement, enhancing the overall movement and interest of the sound. He also shares his transition from the Opie one to the OPC, praising their sampling capabilities and integration into his workflow. The use of a UA Ibanez® TS808 Tube Screamer plugin adds drive and character, further enriching the sonic texture.
