🥰 ØSkald , I'm glad you dug my guitar playing . It means a lot to me . I wished upon a Star when I was a little boy and here's where I ended up .. My gratitude extends to the fact that I'm in real good company w artists such as yourself here . Grem , I'm glad you can hear the fun in my playing . Sometimes my life can feel like a real ball and a chain . My guitar playing is like the key that unlocks that weight off my shoulders so I can be free to play and soar like a little birdie chirping with out a care in the world on top of the tree tops ... all the best, Kenny

Hi Songs Forum , What we have here is me playing my Tele as a Guitar synth over The Twanger Central Week 211 Backing Track . This current mix was done Sept 21 1 AM I also played one of my Jazz Box's just to keep it interesting . All my keyboard sounds are played by me using my Guitar and The Jam Origin Midi Guitar 2 Plugin . All synth sounds were done in real time as per each song section I recorded over ...I think Midi Guitar 2 tracks very good . The links for the backing track and the video of the backing track from the Artist that created it are in my soundcloud description I Hope you Enjoy , Kenny

Very Good Questions . Let me think about it , maybe some one will chime in , in the mean time ... Kenny

Hey Don't feel bad . Two weeks ago I was recording a guitar part through a mini amp that I have set up on top of my sound card . From where I sit I can't see the little amp because my 17 inch lap top screen hides my mini rig and my sound card ... I have to stand over my lap top to set my tone and dial in my gain staging I had shut the amp off when I decided to get a cup of coffee and take a little break . ... I had forgotten this relevant factor due to the enhancing quality's of a little Green Herbal and I ain't talking Tea . . After I had returned from my break all energized , I spent about 40 nerve-racking min's trying to figure out what had happened to my killer guitar tone . Yep, that's about how long it took before I realized I had shut the amp off 🤣 Hhmmmm, True Confessions....ain't they something ? 🤪 Kenny

Hey Bill I just looked at your new avatar 🤣 Thanks a lot Pal ....now I'm hungry for becan and I want to take a trip down Mammary Lane Kenny

Thanks Rik ! I Sure Did 🥰 thanks Hi Freddy ! thank you for the kind word . that was a nice thing to say . Thank You ! all the best, Kenny

Cool video , Your porch looks Magical . Kenny

That was nice . You sang like an Angel . I felt like a child comforted and safe during the first half of the song . Near the end when the strings and other sounds came in I got a glimmer of the awesome power of The Love that permeates and resonates throughout all of what is good in Creation . Kenny

Hi Daryl , Loved your unique tones , the vocals , the use of space in the mix and the interjection of some choice world rhythms . Your new song Remember My Name happens to be one of the most interesting sounding songs I've heard anyplace in a real long time . all the best, Kenny

Hello everybody , Last night I recorded myself playing one of my Tele's over this weeks Twanger Central backing track . Week 210 . My guitar playing on this song is one continuous take ( no comps or punch ins ) . My performance was my second recording attempt after a quick test run through to set levels and get a rough idea of what kind of chops I had on tap . I had a lot of fun playing over the track and I'm posting this for grins and giggles As always I hope some one enjoys and gets something out of my geetar playing ... Here's the B T for anyone who has an interest in playing over the tune . all the best, Kenny

Honestly I don't see how your question could have a simple answer . MainStage is a Mac only application . Cakewalk by BandLab is a PC only application . I have both MainStage 2 on both of my older Mac's . I also have Cakewalk by BandLab on a couple of PC's . Yes MainStage is amazing . A lot of Bang for the buck .Those sounds combined w 3rd party and what comes w BandLab could really help go a long way as to creating some choice tones . The only thing I can tell you is when ever I want to incorporate MainStage sounds into a Cakewalk project I will treat my Mac as if it is a hardware synth and or as an external rack mount channel strip. I usually do it 2 different ways . Both Old School . #1 , Once I dial up a patch I want to bring over to Cakewalk I simply use MainStage as a combination . MainStage becomes my pre amp / midi tone module and I will run MainStage with my Macs sound card into my PC / Cakewalk project ... I have an Apogee and a Yamaha Sound Card for my Mac. I will run either sound card into my P C VIA a Focusrite 2i4 ...to capture my sounds . MainStage is a performance / synth and sound creation tool and application , I will play my performance in real time VIA my Mac and use my PC to capture my performance . As audio . This is not very different than what MainStage was designed for since most people that use MainStage on a regular basis end up gigging w it ..( Church P & W , Broadway , Clubs as a scaled down portable rig ...Home Project Studio ...ect ect...) #2, I have also used MainStage as an external midi synth / work station / tone module . The times I used MainStage that way I would use my Midi out from Cakewalk VIA a midi cable from my 2i4 into my Mac's midi input into MainStage . While my Cakewalk project played I would then set up and audition my sounds and patches in MainStage . Once I was Happy I would record in Cakewalk ( in real time ) the sounds I had dialed up in MainStage ... I guess I had gotten used to doing things this way because back in the day I used to run hardware stand alone midi sequencers into hardware synths ... Honestly , it's not much different doing it that way now and one could get a lot of mileage out of using this type of approach ... Kenny

Big Dogs always know the truth when it comes to working with a Great DAW Kenny

I have an Ovation just like the one in your avatar ...Say , what guitar did you play on this ? Your tune sounds pretty good playing wise ..a little to much Reverb IMHO ....other than that small crit nice . Kenny

My Constellation had just gotten that bug from a recent update from only a few days ago .... Thank you for the newer fixed update . All seems fine now in my Orbit . Kenny

I use the Blue Cat free plugs a lot . I think they are very good quality and they sound very good . I happen to like them better than most of the pedals I have on my pedal board . Kenny

Hi Craig , That there is some Crazy stuff , I'm glad you liked it . Thank you Ed ! , I did this one as a joke ...in places it does have it's moments . The Studio Bear made me do it 🤣 I'm pretty much a Cakewalk guy at heart . Most of my music usually gets done VIA Cakewalk . When it comes to doing a score for video , I think Reapers ability to handle multiple Videos within a project as just another track gives it an edge over Cakewalk ... Your Honor ! I plead not guilty ...that's my story and I'm sticking to it ... Kenny

🤣 Studio Bear! is afraid of Mushrooms . He wound up using some good old fashion tried and true green herbal enhancements instead 🤪 Kenny

🤣 Kenny

I look forward to hearing from you ... P M sent all the best, Kenny

Craig , OK when you are on You Are On lol I'll give you that I wonder if my 4 seconds of credit will roll over ...if I was riding a Bull I would have had a halfway good run at four seconds .. When I was young I used to think that ,,,Now it's like Oh man The Grimm Reaper is probably come and snag my culito pretty soon ... I was at the right place at the right time with the right people . paulo, gulp , I could have been a contender sniff sniff waaahhhhh lol When I went home after the video shoot in Central Park I had a cheese sandwich for diner ...times were tough for me back then Thanks for the kind word . Not that Rake , That Rake was a Hoe all the best, Kenny

😂Sure I could back then , that was when I was young ... Anyway nothing has changed for me as a result of that video ...I still have to pay extra for my Garden Tools 😂 Kenny

Oh boy music in general sure was crazy back then 😂 If you think We Built This City was bad how do you think I feel about this one ...I'm the guy humping the rake at 1 : 47 Kenny PS, I thought it was fun back then . Oh well at least the rake had a good time
