    Peter, thanks for this fabulous insight into the creative process. You know that Larry is the star in this - right? He's always going to steal the show. 😂

    Really enjoyed the watch and the listen and - as Gary says above - hat's off to you, because we all know just how much work goes into something like this.

    Great stuff!

    Andy

    Thanks so much for the comments Andy. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm going to have to tell Larry that he has a fan!

    I thought that this might interest those with home studios like myself. I recorded my fourth solo instrumental album over the past few years and decided to film as many of the sessions as I could. I've have uploaded videos from my album over the past few years and have received many kind comments from everyone on this great forum. The album is finally finished and was released last week. I was lucky enough to get sponsorship from a high end audio/visual company who covered the costs of making a limited run of cds and Blu Ray discs as well.

    Having all this video footage available has enabled me to put together a “making of” video using a lot of the footage that I captured during the recordings.

    This video gives an in depth analysis of three of the tracks and how these songs are constructed in terms of the instruments, parts, arrangement, production etc. Certain instrument parts are highlighted to provide the viewer/listener with an insight into how they fit into the final mix. As you'll see, the entire album was recorded, mixed and mastered in Cakewalk.

    All the guitars parts were recorded with the Kemper Profiler directly into the DAW using my own profiles from my pedals and a Marshall JCM2000 combo.

    The Hammond organ was recorded at the keyboard player’s home studio.

    This has been a massive job to put together and I'm really happy with the results. I hope that you enjoy this as well!

    Very enjoyable - it's got a bit of a 90's video game vibe to it (in a good way, mind) mixed with some instrumental prog.  I was waiting a bit long for it to move into the groove, but then I'm guilty of very long intros too so I shouldn't complain (just being impatient I think).

    Thanks, Kevin.

    I've always liked longer pieces of music. I don't subscribe to the norms that dictate that music should be a certain time length.

    Another fine production Peter! Big 👍 ‘s from me.

    t

    Gibson Brands Inc has been trying for years to copy the amazing work produced in Kalamazoo MI by Gibson Inc. What’s the difference? Strats and Teles are probably the most copied designs ever; who’s complaining?

    maybe someone should troll elsewhere...

    just sayin’

    Thanks so much Tom!

    Great tune, great playing, great production and a great guitar. I wish I could figure out how to get sounds like this out of my stuff. 

    Thanks for your comments,  Kevin!

    Cheers!

    I have a fantastic LP knock-off, it's an Agile 3200MCC and I sold a Gibson LP  Studio to buy it. Twice the guitar for a third the price. Wish I could play it as well as you play here, really well done.

    That's interesting Kevin! I also sold a Gibson LP Studio to by my second Tokai.

    I would like to compliment you on this, however . . . the complete copyright violation of the guitar you featured absolutely turned me off. That is a total knockoff of a Gibson Les Paul. SHAME ON YOU!

    Wow Andy! 

    Get off your high horse! So you're telling me that every guitar player that plays a Les Paul replica should be ashamed??? I can name Ibanez, ESP, Cort, Yamaha, PRS (Gibson tried to sue them and lost the case). These guitars are not trying to pass of their replicas as Gibson knock offs. They do not have Gibson on the headstock.

    I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard and can honestly say that these Japanese hand made Tokai Loverocks completely blow the Gibson away in terms of build quality, attention to detail and playability.

    You have no idea of any guitar player's personal situation and have absolutely no right in telling someone what they should be playing.

    I really don't even know why I'm bothering to justify myself to someone who thinks that they can dictate to anyone about personal choice. I shouldn't even dignify your comments with a reply.

    Go and pick a fight somewhere else!

    You've got a great sound there - tight timing with lots coming through the mix well. I like the contrast between the almost retro/atmospheric sound of the intro/outro, and the rocking main part. Great tune!

    Thanks antler!

    Cool tune!  Has a cinematic feel (IMHO) which adds to the coolness.

    Thanks for the comments Eric!

    Good rocking tune i like it! A departure from your more jazzy stuff.

    Thanks Kurt!

    Nothing to add from what's been said, I did wonder if there might be a vocal.

    Thanks Wookiee! A vocal would have been great! This is an instrumental album but I'm thinking of doing a vocal album next.

    Cheers!

     PJH , Episode 12 was in stereo . It still had some streaming glitches , but nobody had to wonder about panning enhancements. Your mono mix was Very Nice , the stereo mix was "Incredible"           mark

    Thanks so much for the comments!

    Glad you liked the mix Mark!

    Has anyone noticed a slight lag in this update?  For example when cutting a clip in two there's a slight delay before the mouse cursor becomes available again.

    This definitely happened after the update.

    I'm not sure if it's coincidence but I'm sure it never happened before.
