Hi chap,can anyone recomend a free bass amp vst Ive tried a ´ ronald -passion `´one which fitted the bill but wouldnt install any other offer`s cheers PB

Thanks chaps , what I failed to mention was that I´m thinking ou using an old analogue Hughes and kettner tubeman ,before the interface , I guess i´ll just give it a go and see what happens ,I´m now looking for a free Bass amp vst , i found one called ``ronald -passion´´ but it wouldnt install ??? thanks for the info`s

Hi chap`s Ive just recently finished another song using all the virtual amps , but found that to get a good tone I had to use a lot of treble, I´m thinking of putting the guitar firstly into a Pre-amp and rom the pre-amp into the audio interface ? any coments or what do you advise ? cheers PB

Hi D Just a another super track , ``Transparent´´ that`s the word I´m often searching for to explanin a a track , you have so many layer`s and yet it never sounds muddled (like mine) the drum`s are just great , in fact its all rather great cheer`s

Thanks Tom, I´ll look into that Ive sent a freezed track as a wave , I`ve done it before but i cant for the life of me remember how I did it ? someone on this forum explained it to me and I cant find the thread cheers Paul B

Thanks Keith, ive had few problems with latency so Ive been keeping the instruments and effects to the minimum even though its only been occasionally . with evrey recording I´m learning more tricks of the trade once again thanks for commenting cheers r

Thanks Tom very kind ,I really do need a pair of neutral headphones to do the mix I think mine are a bit cheap and sound enancing which the opposite of what one shouid use

Thanks Tom for your comments overall I´m pretty happy with it especially the virtual amplfiers they just make the whole process much easyer , I had a lot of fun with those , couldnt find any bass amplfiers though , I used my bass guitare through a normal amp and then compressor cheers paul

Thanks Nigel , I did compress the bass and in my headphones they seemed .ok I think I need a better pair , yes the drums could do with bit more punch I really didnt want to complicate the mix too much thanks for your comments Paul

Hi Chaps , well I took onboard all the tips ,info`s and comment`s of the last year, so I took my time used just the virtual amps and a few vitrual effect`s ,but I think it was just a case of taking my time and not rushing , the song is a bit selfindulgent but hey who wants to be popular , (if I wanted to be popular I´d wear make-up learn how to dance) so as always all coments tips etc are more than welcome .Ive got thick skin, and stomach to boot thanks for all your support Paul DB

Hi chaps , Ive been using bandlab for about a year now and I now find myself using more effects compresser`s etc during recording Iand playback I find that now there are more and more blips and pops also the time curser stuttered once is freezing the tracks an option ?and how does that work ? any help would be gratefull cheers PB

Love this anything from steely dan is top and is certanly difficult play , great vocals this must have taken ages well done

I just had a quick listen maybe 50 seconds sounds amazing ...I`m comming back to it later with a glass of red wine ...

Lovely song very relaxing, nice vibe. vocal really nice . I personally wouldnt overcomplicate it with more instruments ..I do that way too often on my songs

Hi chaps and once again thanks for all the encourgment , to be honest the way i look at the suff I write (in my fantasy world) is I write the song hand it over to producer who is : much cleverer than I and a much better muscian and clears up my mess I gave him in the real world however is somewhat different , so I´m struggling with the production side of things on many /all levels but the more i do the more I feel I´m getting the hang of I must say ``kid´´ should have been started a new from the begining and the old recording just used as a reference , Im rarely happy with my songs although i thought the subject matter in this song was quite good I think the next song I´ll post the lyrics as well .if only I could find that bloody film ..british film director cheers guys Paul DB

Yeah I was just showing off.........very underated instrument the triangle , they always make me feel hungry ..yeeehaaw

Hi Lynn Thanks for the input ;I´ll really have to reprogram the drums from start to finnish ,I´ll wait untill the weather is so bad that I´ll have to stay in the studio, in fact I´m surprised by the response to this song I wasnt sure if it merited the time, it seems once again I was wrong , and thats the great thing about this forum its a great sounding board . almost every song I write I`m never sure if its any good .

Yes yes thanks Tom I´d be a crap drummer and thats it , I´m a guitarist ,singer and triangle player what should I know about repeatably hitting things ,its all too much

Hi Douglas , yes I really do struggle with the drums, in fact I do try make them more interesting but it seems the more fills and changes I put in , the more it sounds cluttered and out of time Aaaaghh if you whatI I mean , i´m working on a new song , no melody no lyrics just keys- guitare I keep the drums as basic as possible to keep a clear head and then add fill it out later cheers thanks for the comments Paul DB

Soo cool , totally my cup of tea . bloody great..... I cant turn it off..

Thanks Tom, thats a good stratigy maybe i should mix the vocal even louder to distract from the crappy mixdown , I must admit though I´m slowly trying to assemble a constant method to my recording to give better results ..I will get there ...in time thanks for the response cheers . keep well paul DB

Hi Tom yeah your right, the drums are EZdrums and I´m going to have find out how i can transfere the project files instead of wave files .then i can change the kit and tone as you know Tom i´m still feeling my way through this minefield , I´m just writing a new song from scratch so i´ll be only using100% bandlab where i can hofefully do a better recording there are also timming issues ``keys´´ in this song thanks for taking the time to respond cheers

Well this is right up my alley as they say I´m a huge Satriani fan so this really hits the spot well donr that man

Yep I liked this one a lot, it flowed well and meandered down the way, didnt want the solo to end

Hi guys , heres a track from last year I had on samplitude I transfered it using wave fills and then mixed it on bandlab adding a few bits`n `pieces , its inspired by a Ken Loach or a Mike Leigh film about a disfunctonal famliy a down to earth great film, I didnt really know that this film had inspired me untill it the song was finished and after about four or five months later I realised .hey its about .....that film If only i could remember the name of that film , its driving me nuts
