bumpin' for the weekend

just pm me

tom, as i've posted this before at bandcamp (just because the streaming is better) and took it down, and put it back, etc, etc, ad naseum, i want you to have the latest, if you can't log on and just re-download the latest file, let me know, i'll just send you a link for the full bandwidth file, if you want it. and thanks for your support!!

ALRIGHT EQUALITY! thanks so much man, i appreciate it.

the drum parts, i've been thinking, there are a couple of areas where i can simplify the drum parts, and it will still work as designed.. so i'm going to edit the drum parts in about 3-4 key places, and make those sections just 'straight drive' a bit...

Thanks Jack! Glad you listened

thanks so much andy! glad you dig it.

https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/hear-the-Call an early single release from the next bats brew album called "Singularity" i hope you enjoy it. used my new Tele build to cover the rhythm guitars, a fun track to play.

ha, only problem with my taylor is, it's so big! it's bigger than i am! LOL but it has a lovely sound. i only ever use microphones to record my acoustics, and that can be problematic with this big auditorium sized box, it has a lot of lows. i have to watch out for proximity effect, and usually pull the microphone all the way up to the neck joint, or well past the sound hole.

HI ANDY thanks for listening to this one. i do a lot of acoustic guitars, but don't post a lot. there are no 12 strings, just my Taylor 414. i do higher voicings, and layer them, so i can get 'faux' 12 string sounds sometimes. i've got 3 rhythm parts going at the same time, and the 3rd one is doing high parts, i'm sure that's what you are hearing.

thanks for the comments, gary... mid harsh, i'm not getting any harsh at all on my playback, both loud and soft. but i don't want it harsh!! heheh... know you'll have me chasin' my tail. i'll hunt that harsh down and give it all night detention.

Thanks so much jack!

this is a next-to-final mix, checking out the FLAC format for the first time. this will be on the upcoming bats brew "The Wild Animals" album. The FLAC process makes it seem a bit soft to me for some reason. looking for overall playback balance comments. https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/lake-katherine

i really dig Wave's version of this machine. FWIW

wtf

these things go without saying.

it did help make my point more solid, so there's that.

NOT WHAT i'm saying. and i'm not sure i can convey it any better to you. when i am talking about creativity, i'm typically talking about the ability to speak 'music'. not sounds, that falls under some other category. you want to have an ability to quickly translate want, to have. i've never heard a guitar sound like an iceberg. that just sounds juvenile. sounds, typically, are a different subject matter, than how to quickly change arrangements, key signatures, time signatures, and the like. these things you learn when you study music theory. understanding music theory, is like having open doors, vs something you have to find the key under the door mat. we're talking music theory here, not how to twiddle knobs to make stuff sound like icebergs, correct?
