MichaelJohn Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Enjoyed this! This is a short and sweet blues instrumental that makes you feel at the poker table but something aint right going on! Sweet guitar sounds and dig the Arturia keys. For the bass part? Very acoustic and nice mix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very acoustic and nice mix Thank You Michael....the bass is a mix of direct injected and one of the Arturia Analog Lab V Light bass creations, can't remember which one.... Thanks again 🎶🎶 🎶 🎶 edit: i checked and the bass is actually a mix of DI and the CbB SI-Bass VST 🎸🎹🥁🎵 Edited October 31, 2022 by Larry T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Lovely acoustic tones and enjoyed the harp too - a minor crit - maybe the lead guitar could have had just a little more crunch in there but it's all good. Like the change of pace and feel at around 2:25 as well - great work, well done. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Nice moody piece. Did you play the bass too? Did you play all the instruments? Sounds like real players in a real band! A good amount of work went into this, I appreciate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jesse....yes, i played bass and all other instruments as i always do, even managed to get a good sound from the SI-Drums VST by creating aux channels and working on beefing up the tones on the snare and bass drums....i used about 30 tracks including aux outputs and spent a lot of time listening to each section and trying to determine what each musician/ instrument could play in any given section....its a lot of concentration and really mentally draining but if there's no effort there's no results....cheers!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSband Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Like this one, nice interplay of guitars and the harmonica was cool too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Definitely a cool piece. It has a very cinematic sound to it and would complement the video of modern western or modern film noir movie. The change-up near the middle --- ya cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 What Freddy said above about western movies. Sounds really good, impressive playing. Love the harmonica. Not sure if the change at 2:25 really works. Sounds to me like a completely different song but that's just my impression. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
