last attempt to push this one for listens, time to move on

Weekend bump

Thanks Andy I appreciate the kind kudo

hi mark! thanks for the comments funny how the wah just works its way in there....! LOL

HEY THANKS KRUPA! I MISSED this one way back... yea, there's some really good racing going on this season, but verstappen is just slaying it. lewis is in the record books, as is fernando, max is writing a new book.

cool tune! i dig the whole thing, but have a couple of suggestions on the mix... vox too hot. needs to sit back in the mix a bit, it's just a bit caberet drums too weak, the kick almost disappears. other than that, i dig it! reminds me a little bit of hendrix's 'merman' tune. got that spacy otherworld

it's been a while now, since i used the boogie. prolly should knock the dust off of it

hey joad! thanks so much for listening and commenting you know, i love the boogie too! but, there's no boogie on this recording... only this: it's been a great experiment trying to see if direct tones from a modeler would work from me, after 40 years on tube amps. it does.

yes, we both agree with this. i'm offering another side of the story, for clarity, and balance. i don't do wup. like i said before, that is a non issue for me.

bumpin' it for a chance at hearing it.

now, when i had SONAR, i also used the plugs, and never had an issue then. so , i know it's not sonar, or the difference between it and studio one. i'm not trying to make a fight here, i'm just saying.

have had zero issues with licensing. i just download the lastest plugin manager, download the plug, put it into Studio One (which is automated) and boom, there it goes. every plug i've ever bought and added to the group, has worked perfectly. i just think you guys are doing something wrong.

No wup for me, Win 10 pro, Studio one 5P Just a solid platform, zero issues

12 years, Zero issues. I'm sorry this fact bends your brain. The install is always dead easy. Always works.

Never had an issue. That, Is my point. There is balance in the universe

the whole idea of this song, was to capture the vibe of an actual Grand Prix race... the start, the near misses and actual crashes, the virtual safety cars, the REAL safety cars, the re-starts... all the elements of a typical grand prix, to me, that literally walk on a razors edge. people have been asking me for some more 'go for the throat' guitar playing, so i figure this one should fit the bill. i didn't use my new tele on this one, but i've been real busy using it on several other ongoing projects, you might hear soon. i used these two guitars for this one:

i use waves plugs, and have never had an issue. i just dont' get it, the complaining. i've boiled it down to just about a dozen regular plugs i use, and pull out all the rest.

thanks jack c! yea, drums are superior drummer, using 'rooms of hansa' expansion pack. i think, the 'marble' room. that drum track was pretty customized, editing wise. guitars were done thru a strymon iridium, same for bass. it's so easy recording with that thing.

Man, what a great race, right here in the states! Very cool outcomes

By the way, they're showing the Miami grand prix tomorrow on regular tv

This is an instrumental rock song, #2 of a 3-song trilogy, inspired by Formula One racing. This is the British Grand Prix, Silverstone! https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/silverstone njoy!

some nice playing there! yea, i get the issue with piezo sounds, i don't like using them, but in this case, the sounds kind of makes sense, the guitars float on top of the bubbling bass lines, if not a little bit too crystalline sounding, but clear as a bell. my guess is, if it was miced, it wouldn't work as well, it'd be 'too full' for the busy arrangement to work. you'd never know, i guess, without micing the guitar, re mixing it, and see what happens. i hear the funky syncopation in the arrangement, it aint funk, but it gets funky. LOL

bumpin' 1 last time

hey mark! thanks a lot! yea, i really like the tele sound, it's quite different than what i'm used to, a new instrument, which is always fun!

hi ear candy! thanks for listening, with the intent of the song... satch is always going to trigger a comparison, just cuz he's been making fast hard rock sounding instrumentals forever, it seems...
