Hi Jesse and David - once again, thanks a lot for taking the time to listen.

The new preamp is a Effectrode Blackbird (https://www.effectrode.com/products/effects-pedals/blackbird-vacuum-tube-preamp/ ) and it does sound really nice

On hifi speakers, I think the synth bass is a little light, if anything, so it's probably good where it is

David - you cannot beat the sound of the Strat/Tele single coils

Hi Mark, thanks for listening.

I used MODO bass (a Fender P Bass) mostly, and Avenger for a synth bass in the breakdown.

Hey thanks a lot Paul! That's MODO bass - i really like it

Hi Nigel,

Thanks alot for listening and for your comments

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

That beginning part is mostly guitar with *lots* of FX

Hi noynekkar - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

Hi Lynn,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

I was in a "physical modeling" mode for this one - and playing around with controllers for that little bit of variationin the sound

Hi Jack - thanks a lot for listening!

Hi,

I've got a new song out. It's called "Second Wind" - you can check it out here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14254040

It features most of the usual suspects:
Superior Drums
MODO Bass
some Kontakt and a few synth noises
Melody is Plasmonic Synth (and Noisy synth)
plus real live Strats and Tele
also, I got a tube preamp (Effectrode Blackbird) after the guitar parts were recorded - so I reamped them through the real tubes 😉

all comments welcome 😉

Hi noynekker,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your kind comments. Yeah, it's a slow burner - until when the drums come in  

Hi Jack,

Hi,

I've got a new song out. It's called "Quarantine" - you can check it out here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14218509

I think it's kind of "soundtrack" music.
It features the usual suspects:
some synths (incl. a new one - "Plasmonic")
some Kontakt stuff
MODO Bass
Superior Drums
and my Stratocasters (I don't think the Tele is on this one)

All comments accepted 😉

Hi Paul - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

That's quite a different scenario than me sitting in my little "room" putting it together a little bit at a time

Hi Steve - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments!

Thanks for listening David, and for your comments.

I don't think I'd like to do "collections" 😕

Wow! Thanks a lot for the listens and for the nice comments!

Yeah - the piano solo was "manufactured" in the MIDI editor - I couldn't play like that if my life depended on it

Wendy works in a funeral home - we like to wave to her when we walk past - to let her know we're still alive and kicking.

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments!

jack - these are Soundiron tablas loops (for kontakt). I just got them recently and I really like them. They're quirky

Tom - thanks, I really like MODO too - you can do a lot with it

Hi,

I've got a new song out - called "Waving to Wendy"
You can hear it here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14190831

It features the usual suspects - but also features some tablas for percussion 😉

Superior Drums
MODO Bass
Pianoteq Piano (incl. artificial solo)
a few synths and Kontakt
and of course some real Strats and a Tele

All comments welcome.

First reaction to the basic room (room pack hasn't yet downloaded) is totally meh. Can't yet see what this offers that every other reverb in my arsenal cannot handle. hen I first saw this  though this might give Altiverb a run for its money, but listening to this is thoroughly underwhelming and I could not possibly pay such a large sum of money. I would invest in something like Cinematic Rooms from Liquidsonics... 

It's pretty good when you download the rooms - and i suspect that the additional controls in the 2paid" versions will make it sound even better.

They're certainly having some teething problems - but this may just be a hot item once they get their downloading infrastructure fixed. The download speeds are very good (14MB/s on my 100 Mb/s connection) *when it's working* (which doesn't seem to be too often...

It seems that the best time for Europeans to download is in the morning/afternoon - while the US is still asleep

OK - you stay safe too! 😷

Hi Kurt,

Thanks a lot for listening - and for your comments

hi Tom,

Thanks for having a listen, and for your comments.

I usually start with a couple of grooves - then I modify them. I do all my MIDI work in the DAW rather than Superior, so I don't really use the drop zone.

Hi Lynn,

How are you keeping?!

Thanks for taking the time to listen - and for your comments. 😷

Thanks a lot for listening Douglas - and for your comments!
