Shake your Lele!
http://alooshu.byethost17.com/shake%20y ... 20flow.mp3 , an instrumental done with my cheapo uke, but in the spirit of the timple, a canarian instrument.

Man, I love your style! Whenever you post something I know it's going to be worth hearing. I have never heard a uke played like that, and I was kind of blown away. Cool stuff!

Re: Shake your Lele!
After the first 20 seconds, I was kind of waiting for a nice Satriani-esque overdrive guitar playing on top of that: the ukulele playing the lead is cool, but to me the monster bass + ukulele background was calling for something more distorted
As a side note, what did you use for the monster bass? Is it a synth, or something you played and heavily effected somehow? One of the ideas I have for a new track does need a sound like that, and I can't seem to find anything appropriate in the software I tried.

Re: Shake your Lele!
seens like for silly limitations (only three files per post even if they're < 20kB each), I'll need to split my answer in two. Here comes :

Re: Shake your Lele!
I'm using Wolpertinger for most my basses, it's a funny synth with funny controls, and good; before, I went to amsynth.lv2 for bass.
With a Satriani-lead (or similar): I'm doing that so often, I'm quite enjoying a break, and am exploring clean sounds at the moment, but it's true, I could. The backing track exists. And anyway, someone on IRC had proposed to make some collab project with only the ||: D7 | Am | - loop, we haven't talked since, but making stems available for others to play with, is something I'm generally happy to do.

Re: Shake your Lele!
@forestandgarden thanks for the tips! I don't use Reaper so I won't be able to replicate your setup, but I'll give a look at the synths you mentioned.

You don't need Reaper, you just need to understand what the 4 pieces in the chain are doing, it is 1 instrument, the wolpertinger synth, and 3 effects. Wolpertinger and ZamComp, you can find in/for linux anyway, as lv2, so you could copy the values one by one; for the octave, you could use any pitch shifter and set it 1 octave = 1200 cents down, and copy the dB values for dry and wet; for the last one, any chorus/flanger/phaser can be adjusted to do something relatively similar, it's not so important to put it at all even. I could replicate the same sound in Ardour.
