Subject:Chuck Rainey Bass Loops Posted by: Popskull Date:3/29/1999 7:56:28 AM Is there such thing as Loops for Acid 'Chuck Rainey Bass'. I thought I stumbled across it on the dvdirect site, but now its gone?
Subject:Re: Chuck Rainey Bass Loops Reply by: Date:3/28/1999 12:04:54 PM I can answer that one for you...I am the producer of that collection. The Chuck Rainey Collection is currently in production, and is a multi-volume set covering various styles. When completed, the Sonic Foundry version of this product will be the first one released. Volume 1, Pop, is well underway, and contains loops that work well in a variety of pop styles. One of the amazing things about Chuck's playing is that what he does works incredibly well over any number of grooves. I am really psyched about the sound quality as well. For volume one, we tracked Chuck direct using a Manley VoxBox as a preamp. The pultec EQ's and beautiful tube electronics really gave us some fat sounds to work with. Another unique aspect to this collection--we're offering each loop in many keys, sometimes all twelve. Some loops have two versions per key. Why do that? A couple of reasons. It allows you to construct a more "human" part, if that's what you're going for, by varying up the sound a bit. It also allows you to pick a loop closer to your current key, to avoid phasing problems with extreme transposition. This collection can be used very effectively as a construction set to make a bass part that has a very "nonlooped" feeling. Of course, all loops are fully ACIDized, and will function with ACID's built in transposition features, if you're looking for a more "looped" sound. There is no official release date set. As you are probably aware, there's a great deal of production work necessary to bring a product like this to market. Chuck and I are both up to our necks in projects at present, and we are hoping to firm up a release date for this project very soon. Sonic Foundry has its own production tasks to accomplish when we have finished our part of the work, so any official release date of the Sonic Foundry product will be determined by their staff. Note that I do not represent Sonic Foundry in any way...I am only speaking as producer of the project. Any official news on their version of The Chuck Rainey Collection will come directly from them. I offer this information just to let you know that you won't be finding this product at Guitar Center next week...but hopefully very soon. -- Bruce A.

I can answer that one for you...I am the producer of that collection.

The Chuck Rainey Collection is currently in production, and is a
multi-volume set covering various styles. When completed, the Sonic
Foundry
version of this product will be the first one released.

Volume 1, Pop, is well underway, and contains loops that work well in
a
variety of pop styles. One of the amazing things about Chuck's
playing is
that what he does works incredibly well over any number of grooves. I
am
really psyched about the sound quality as well. For volume one, we
tracked
Chuck direct using a Manley VoxBox as a preamp. The pultec EQ's and
beautiful tube electronics really gave us some fat sounds to work
with.

Another unique aspect to this collection--we're offering each loop in
many
keys, sometimes all twelve. Some loops have two versions per key.
Why do
that? A couple of reasons. It allows you to construct a more "human"
part,
