    SONG: Easing Up

    in Songs

    Posted · Edited by jbraner

    Hi Gary - thanks a lot for listening.

    Which guitar is out of tune? (you know the story - I've listened a million times, so I won't hear it anymore)

    SONG: Shedding

    in Songs

    Posted

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments.

    First of all, I made a major f*&% up - it's not MODO (that's the next somg) it's the Trilian Acoustic Bass! (I edited the original post).

    Drums are a DW kit from the Darkness SDX (my fav at the moment).

    I know nobody likes long songs - but I do. And this is supposed to be like coronavirus - so it sticks to you and won't go away ;)

    new song: Old Timer

    in Songs

    Posted

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks a lot for listening ;)

    Old Timer isn't mocking you, or me for that matter - I got an old stratocaster and this was it's initial outing (for me) ;)

    I use mostly S-Gear's Wayfarer or Mercuriall ReAxis for (software) amps, and then I bypass the speakers and use Torpedo Wall of Sound for my speaker sim. Lateley I've been using Celestion V30s for almost everything and occassionally a 2 x 12 cab with Celestion Blue Alnicos.

    I've beem using MODO bass for a little while now (replaced Trilian) and I really like it.

    "I still don't know" is really old. I updated it a little, but most of it is original including Superior 1 drums, and the bass was maybe the Spectrasonics one before Trilian (Trilogy?) But to be honest, I can't remember - it's all bounced, so I just kept it as it (redid eq, compressor, console emulator etc)

    re: SD3 drums - I guess I like beater click even more than you do ;)

    Anyway - thanks again for taking the time to listen ;)

    New Song - "Sitting Duck" (and a remake of an older one)

    in Songs

    Posted

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks a lot for listening!

    1) I always start with the MIDI grooves in SD3, but then I edit them a lot, to make them fit in.

    2) All the amps are either Mercuriall reAxis or S-Gear (usually Wayfarer)

    3) David Kolker is a singer/guitarist/song writer - the samples on this song are of him singing, and there's one short one from a guitar solo (and then I echo'd it)

    SONG: Recalibration

    Hi Bjorn,

    Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments - I'll settle for looking at screen savers ;)

    The arps are all Avenger, and Serum is the nastier parts in between. I'm having a lot of fun playing with wavetables, and both the Avenger and Serum parts are sweeping through wavetables.

    Hi,

    I've got a new song out. It's called "Recalibration" - you can check it
    out here:
    http://sclk.co/r/s8a1ud

    It's a little laid back, and more synth oriented - and features a couple of new (for me ) synths.

    Avenger
    Serum
    some Kontakt stuff
    MODO Bass
    and me playing guitar ?

    Please feel free to send me some feedback ?

    Hi Lynn and Allan - and thanks  a lot for listening.

    Sorry for the late reply, but I've been away in a place where you don't get much signal - so nicely out of touch with the rest of the world! ;)

    Thanks for the kind words - maybe some day I'll meet a singer/collaborator to work with - but I think these songs are much more "can be whatever you want them to be" without lyrics ;) especially the awake/asleep related stuff...

    Hi Tom,

    First - Thanks a lot for listening to my stuff - and for your comments.

    I'll try to reply to some of your comments.

    First of all - I've anguished over the low end on these. In the end, I tried to get them "right" on my system - but it wasn't easy (they sound a little different every day) and I really don't know how they translate to different types of playback setups. Also - making them in to MP3 doesn't help.

    (YMMV)

    Quote

    I'm hearing some cool digital track distortions as the ending fade out - hope they were planned, 'cause I dig it!

    Yeah - that's definitely supposed to be there. Just a little "Time Shaper" plugin to screw around with the pitch, tape stop kind of thing ;)

    Thanks again for taking the time to listen/comment ;)

    3 new Songs

    Hi,
    I've got some new songs out. These 3 songs are part of a collection of three songs - called "3 Piece Suite".

    It consists of:

    1 "Tubes"
    https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13871083

    2 "Your Mileage May Vary"
    https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13871082

    3 "Perchance to Dream"
    https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13871081

    They're meant to be played together (with no pause in between) but I know most people like to stream/play individual songs these days. I have uploaded the entire "Three Piece Suite" if you want to hear the whole thing together and have a spare 16 minutes ?

    "Three Piece Suite"
    https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13871078  

    I got some of the ideas for these in the middle of the night, so they kind of slip between dreaming and being awake.
    They're not for everybody's taste - but maybe somebody will like them ?

    Feel free to let me know what you think.

    They feature the usual characters:
    Superior 3 drums
    MODO Bass
    Omnisphere
    lots of Kontakt stuff
    Diva
    plus my real guitars through S-Gear or Mercuriall amp sims and Torpedo WOS speaker sims.
