SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION USE OF ADVANCED RECORDING TECHNIQUES - FACTORY SET SONG 1 USE OF ADVANCED RECORDING TECHNIQUES - FACTORY SET SONG 1 The demo songs take full advantage of the sophisticated accompaniment and recording features of the GW50. We recommend that you listen closely to the songs and "browse" through the recorded data to pick up helpful pointers on how you can effectively use these features in your own recordings. To get you started, some of details of the recording of Song 1 are shown below, illustrating in particular the use of the Mute, bass note and Retrigger functions. Try some of these techniques in your own recordings, and you'll soon see how powerful the accompaniment and recording features of the GW50 can be. Using Mute to Build Up Instrumental Layers In this passage from the beginning of Song 1, the instrument sounds are built up in layers, with only the drums playing in measure 1, the bass coming in at measure 2, and finally the accompaniment starting at the top of the second chorus at measure 13. The drums are briefly muted here for three 16th notes, before coming in again at beat 2. Using Mute to Create Custom Accompaniment Although the accompaniment has been designed to best suit the various patterns of the GW50, you may want to change the accompaniment slightly to fit your music. Since the mute status of the accompaniment, bass or drums can be changed every 16th note, you have a lot of flexibility in customizing the pre-programmed accompaniment. In this example from measure 22, the accompaniment is muted for one 16th note, effectively cutting off the brass sound from beat 2. 153 USE OF ADVANCED RECORDING TECHNIQUES - FACTORY SET SONG 1
