Nice song and really good recording, Mark!

Lovely piece of music, Bjorn!

Really good song and great production, Nigel!

Really nice song Lynn! I would tame the frequencies on that Hi Hat though. Especially the open Hi Hat seems to be crowding out the vocal and the other instruments. IMO it's very harsh and very upfront in the mix. I reckon if you took it down and eqd the harshness out of it, the vocal would jump out a bit. Just my opinion of course...

Actually 2 profiles. The first profile (the bluesy parts) was my Marshall JCM2000 set clean but driven by an MI Audio Super Blues Pro pedal. The second profile was the same amp set clean but driven by the MI Audio Super Crunchbox. This was used for the (heavier) part in the middle of the track. Both profiles were captured with pedals included in the chain.

Thanks, Tom! I've got quite a few profiles on my Kemper but the ones that I use the most are the profiles that I made of my own rig. There was a lot of volume adjustment during the track in order to get the various gain stages. The Kemper really excels when rolling off the guitar volume. Makes things a lot of fun when playing blues.

Thanks for the comment, Bapu!

Thanks for the kind comments David! Much appreciated!

Thanks for commenting and listening, Wookie! Cheers!

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the comments! Thanks Bjorn! Thanks so much Nigel! Much appreciated!

Thanks so much for your comments, guys! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

I decided to revisit the blues with this little instrumental. Once again had the pleasure of playing with Dave Sharp (Hammond C3 and Leslie as well as the bass) and Larry Rose (drums). Guitar once again was the Kemper direct into the DAW. I think that it came out really well. It was great fun putting this together. Hope you enjoy! Cheers Peter.

Unable to update. If I try from within the program, it downloads and then gives the message "ready to install". If I tell it to install nothing happens. If I try to update from Bandlab Assistant I get the "installing" message and that's how it stays. Any ideas?

Well Jack, At least you can see that it was completely live. No post production.

Thanks for watching and for your comments! Cheers!

We recorded our CCR tribute in my studio and filmed it as well. This was done during lockdown as a live stream back in April. A bit strange to not have an audience but it is what it is. We decided to put it up on Youtube for viewing if anyone is interested. The link will be up for 48 hours. Happy New Year to all! Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the kind comments, Tom! Yes, Larry gets a lot of comments about his guitar face (live and in the studio) 😂

Thanks guys! @freddy j thanks for the comment!

Just had an interesting spin off to my video. A top end Hi Fi company wants to use my music (starting with this one) to use as a demo in their showrooms and on their website. The best part is that they're paying a decent amount for this. In this music climate I'll take any kind of new business model for my music.

Thanks, Starise! We certainly do play gigs, unfortunately due to the Covid restrictions our gigs have been cut to a minimum.

Thanks for the comments, Paul! Thank you Douglas! Much appreciated! Thanks DC! Yes, I am fairly hard on guitar strings. I use quite heavy gauge acoustic strings, so in order to get any kind of vibrato on a wound third requires an aggressive approach. Cheers.

Maybe think about dropping the reverb a little on the drums. That will bring them forward a touch.

Your arrangement is excellent! Well done!

Thanks for your comments, John. It's pretty much my sentiments too. Glad you like the video. It was a lot of fun putting it together. Cheers

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen/watch and for your comments everyone! @Lynn, thanks for the comment. Glad to see that you enjoy the videos. @ Andy - thanks for the comments. I'll be sure to tell Larry. @ David - Thanks for the comment. Yes, I had to somehow "hide" my poor piano playing, Lol! @ Gary - thanks for your comments! Yes, Larry is a perfect session drummer. @ Wookie, thanks for your comments, cheers!
