In the process of demoing this, and I'm liking the Celestion Blues. And the fact I can downsize them to 10" & ALNiCo magnets. Pretty cool!

Back in the day I was a G12M man, but that's what was "stock" in a 100 watt stack. Had a dozen of them (G12M's, not full stacks?)
These days its the Eminence Legend 10's. And I think the "Blues" are getting me there.
The 4x12 G12M sounds good, but with the Blues in 4x10 open back, there's a lot less low end to high pass...

Keep in mind, I'm capturing my FIFTY with a Palmer PDI 03 & PDI 09

Room mics need to be turned off to save some CPU

I'm running 2 cabs so I can A/B different setups, (I swing the "mix" bar back on forth) but I'm pretty well "married" to SSSR Room 3,
so I haven't really played with the room mics, I did turn the room mics on; my office Cat didn't seem to care. (i7, 16 gigs ram, 11 years old)

At $49, I'm thinking I'll pull the trigger on this one. I have WOS, but never really bonded.

Q1) So what's the POWER(Wb) do?
Q2) Is the speaker distortion thing kind of like the OX Box "cone cry"?
I bought an OX, sent it back, didn't "tickle" me at all...

what more can I say?

t

as always, there's more on Doug's channel than he's posted here...

Nothing like a new guitar piano to inspire creativity!

I could see the credits of a suspense or action drama rolling over the top of this.

Lovely piece Michael.

subscribed, commented, dropped a "like". Y'all could do likewise, don't cost nothin'; just sayin' again
forgot to hit the share button, I'll remedy that....

Not sure 25/8 is a Latin vibe

I can't count that high, so if its all the same to you, I'll just stay with the "Latin" vibe...

don't comment on your songs too much

If I posted a few more often you'd be able to! ?
(just an aside; I don't care if people review my work, I don't keep score. but those that don't review at all, I don't review...)

drop that into the EZDrummer

Just so happens I was doing just that!

In the lower right corner is a 2 bar section of a tune I'm working on, I'll pull it off the desk top and put it into the Superior Drummer MIDI Drop Zone.
(HINT for those who, like me, have issues with Drop Zone, I has to be a 2 bar "cut", if you've just "pulled" a midi clip down to 2 bars, you won't get good results...)
Superior, or EZDrummer, will then will bring up a bunch of clips that are similar, but have been played by "real" drummers.

little "cheat" I like to use" means????

Brain Wilson hired Hal Blaine to play drums on Beach Boys sessions, (the whole Wrecking Crew actually) its not "cheating" to use "tools" like the midi in SD or EZD or EZKeyes.
If you can't play it yourself, hire the best you can afford...
"the little cheat" was tongue in cheek

let me know what you think

As to the bass line of your tune. Your tune, your production.  But if I'm producing, the bass player and I are going to have a conversation.
When the melody is playing, I want him to support the tune. The melodic lines, under the pads, are perfect.
I'm a guitarist, I play bass like a guitarist. I know that, I write parts I "think" will work, and then I go back, re-write, and "support the tune".

Hymn's are generally not on my play list, so no frame of reference for me.

Enjoyed.

t

seems like you've got plenty of "level" on this one...

I want to say bring the vocal up a bit. But maybe its the verb burying it.
I think I'd look at the EQ on the vocal verb, is there a high pass on it? Might help a bit I think.

Love the tune!

t

A little bit of a Latin vibe here Wooks, I like it!

?'s

t

in fact I think I might be, actually, yes I am; shakin' my booty!

As the "tag" says, this is a "sad" song.

But I think this is one your best tracks to date Jack.

Really like the acoustic guitar on this one.

? ?'s

t

I would have added "and a backfield in motion" to the two thumbs up, but it is a sad song...

Only if you can "push" past me!

As always, great work Carl!

t

Always interesting to watch the creative process.
So a big Thanks for that!

t

Next step; lighting

I wouldn't "double" the melody with the bass, it "stiffens" the song way too much.
The bass line across the "pads" (for want of a better word) are good.
But I would support the melody lines and not double up there.

just my nickel98's worth...

track 1 record any kick of ones choice.the entire song or just one bar.

track 2play along with kick and record any snare of ones choice.the entire song or just one bar.

And then drop that into the EZDrummer or Superior Drummer's "search" function.
That's the little "cheat" I like to use.

Brian hired Hal, what's the dif?

working on this a long time and think I heard it too much

Let this one "rest" a bit and cycle back on the mix.
The tune deserves it.

Much enjoyed David.?'s!

gets a bit thick in a few places

This is a lather, rinse, repeat process. As with any skillset it takes practice. Do watch some vids on "masking". A lot of overlapping frequencies here.
Some judicious cutting and high passing are in order.
Great energy and execution on the performances and arrangement, so I think a ? is due here.

t

Big fan here so ?'s!

t

really like the long fade on the last note, thanks for that!

I'll echo the praise above. This is a fine tune.
How did I miss it?

t

one little crit and suggestion. My acoustic "chops" are not what they should be and "squeaks" drive me nuts.
I've gone to using D'Addario Flat Tops, they've really helped me. Buy an extra G, they wear out pretty fast.
They're not as "bright", kind of a "played in" tonality, but your guitar is not sounding "muddy" to me so I think
you'd get satisfactory results...

Aways a pleasure hearing your work Jerry! (fan here, but you know that)
Is the ambiance a part of VSL, or is that a separate VST?

t

I remember using the tab key to cycle in the PRV from note to note, and each note's values would display in the inspector module.
Also, IIRC, tabing in an audio track would move to the next transient.

Have I screwed up a setting someplace?

TIA,

t

@scook, I had done a shortcuts search, missed it. I did not however, RTFM.

or in this case the updates...

Thanks again!

Here's another link, <disclaimer> I have not watched it yet, probably mostly an advert for Waves</disclaimer>

Great stuff Steve!

one small crit, you've got that riff 5>4>b3>1>b3 that last flat 3 needs to pushed a little sharp.
We refer to it as the "minor" pentatonic scale. Its not a minor 3rd, its the quarter tone in between the minor and natural 3.

I am liking the bass especially! Care to share?
Tune is groovin', snare is popping!
Loving the piano and organ; oh yeah!

Tasty guitar licks, fine vocal; what's not to like?

Who is the female voice?

I've run one track thru the BandLab "wringer", they made a mess of it!
