hey joad! thanks so much for listening and commenting you know, i love the boogie too! but, there's no boogie on this recording... only this: it's been a great experiment trying to see if direct tones from a modeler would work from me, after 40 years on tube amps. it does.

yes, we both agree with this. i'm offering another side of the story, for clarity, and balance. i don't do wup. like i said before, that is a non issue for me.

bumpin' it for a chance at hearing it.

now, when i had SONAR, i also used the plugs, and never had an issue then. so , i know it's not sonar, or the difference between it and studio one. i'm not trying to make a fight here, i'm just saying.

have had zero issues with licensing. i just download the lastest plugin manager, download the plug, put it into Studio One (which is automated) and boom, there it goes. every plug i've ever bought and added to the group, has worked perfectly. i just think you guys are doing something wrong.

No wup for me, Win 10 pro, Studio one 5P Just a solid platform, zero issues

12 years, Zero issues. I'm sorry this fact bends your brain. The install is always dead easy. Always works.

Never had an issue. That, Is my point. There is balance in the universe

the whole idea of this song, was to capture the vibe of an actual Grand Prix race... the start, the near misses and actual crashes, the virtual safety cars, the REAL safety cars, the re-starts... all the elements of a typical grand prix, to me, that literally walk on a razors edge. people have been asking me for some more 'go for the throat' guitar playing, so i figure this one should fit the bill. i didn't use my new tele on this one, but i've been real busy using it on several other ongoing projects, you might hear soon. i used these two guitars for this one:

i use waves plugs, and have never had an issue. i just dont' get it, the complaining. i've boiled it down to just about a dozen regular plugs i use, and pull out all the rest.

thanks jack c! yea, drums are superior drummer, using 'rooms of hansa' expansion pack. i think, the 'marble' room. that drum track was pretty customized, editing wise. guitars were done thru a strymon iridium, same for bass. it's so easy recording with that thing.

Man, what a great race, right here in the states! Very cool outcomes

By the way, they're showing the Miami grand prix tomorrow on regular tv

This is an instrumental rock song, #2 of a 3-song trilogy, inspired by Formula One racing. This is the British Grand Prix, Silverstone! https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/silverstone njoy!

some nice playing there! yea, i get the issue with piezo sounds, i don't like using them, but in this case, the sounds kind of makes sense, the guitars float on top of the bubbling bass lines, if not a little bit too crystalline sounding, but clear as a bell. my guess is, if it was miced, it wouldn't work as well, it'd be 'too full' for the busy arrangement to work. you'd never know, i guess, without micing the guitar, re mixing it, and see what happens. i hear the funky syncopation in the arrangement, it aint funk, but it gets funky. LOL

bumpin' 1 last time

hey mark! thanks a lot! yea, i really like the tele sound, it's quite different than what i'm used to, a new instrument, which is always fun!

hi ear candy! thanks for listening, with the intent of the song... satch is always going to trigger a comparison, just cuz he's been making fast hard rock sounding instrumentals forever, it seems...

Hi daryl! That circuit trip sounds like a super fun thing to do, The song was fun to track with the imagery I had in mind I've gotten to the place where I can quickly get my ideas recorded, And be happy with it! The gear is all dialed in, The amps, mics, guitars, bass, I've finally gotten it all where I want it.

Thanks Larry! Yea, the pulling into a station to pick up more folk. Then cranking back up to speed, I tried to put the cabin noise, people talking, just the idea of it

yea, i don't think i'll get to make the trip to monaco any time soon!! i'll live it, vicariously. thru netflix 'drive to survive' LOL

hey thanks jack c! this one was just fun to track

this is an instrumental rock song, the First of a 3-song trilogy, inspired by Formula One racing... imagine a racing fan boarding the bullet train in paris, to cruise all the way to Nice Ville, grabbing a quick bus to Monaco, to witness the Monaco Grand Prix! you can't really take a bullet train all the way to Monaco, but if you could!! this song. i posted a demo of this when i first recorded it, this is the final version, released as a single, or part of a 3-song 'trilogy'. if you'd like a copy, you can get it here: https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/bullet-train-to-monaco

that's real nice of you to say, lynn, thanks!

ACTUALLY, i just saw a lot of knee jerk reactionism. i think waves figured out they phucked up. they changed their ways, and so i've got no worries, and i doubt i'll ever need to buy another plug again, i've got everything i need now.
