Sweet! Your guitar tone and riffs are superb as usual. I wondered if you had looked into guitar trackers. Must be a lot of fun. 

Hi David ! thanks for  giving this tune a listen and having a kind word to say on my guitar playing . what do you mean by guitar trackers ?

Very good song and great technique.The mix is ok,but the master is not (in my opinion) a little bit overcompresed and saturated.

A great song anyway.

BTW , there is a different master  up than the one you heard , in any case , thanks for the listen ..

Hey Steve ,

I don't like the ending either ...I was desperate to finish at the time ...

Over there they start a song play along thread on a Friday and by Tuesday it's all tumble weeds ..

The main thing is I always have fun when I do these type of things and hopefully I may bring a smile to another musicians face ...

That is the only reason why I post these tunes over here .

I am glad you did like the main gist of what my  guitar playing was doing in those places of the song  you did enjoy .

all the best,

Kenny

Your song has a great feel and message going on with it . I can feel the love .

Kenny

I liked your tune man . It sounds like it would fit in perfectly w an Avengers ( 60's spy tv )  episode

Kenny

I've always wanted that synth . I could never seems to pull it together w the coin .

I did enjoy your song and the way it sounded . Very nice

Great playing. This things is beyond music genere and style. Well the guitar makes the "style" and the rest is fun! This is what I heard, at least! And again great plainig and also great sound.

ØSkald , I'm glad you dug my guitar playing . It means a lot to me .

Sounded great Kenny. I could hear the fun and see you enjoying yourself as the song went on. Good work.

Grem ,

I'm glad you can hear the fun in my playing .

Sometimes my life can feel like a real ball and a chain . My guitar playing is like the key that unlocks that weight off my shoulders so I can be free to play and soar like a little birdie chirping with out a care in the world  on top of the tree tops ...

all the best,

Hi Songs Forum  ,

What  we have here is me playing my Tele as a Guitar synth over The Twanger Central Week 211 Backing Track .

This current mix was done Sept 21 1 AM

I also played one of my Jazz Box's just to keep it interesting .

All my keyboard sounds are played by me  using my Guitar and The Jam Origin Midi Guitar 2 Plugin .

All synth sounds were done in real time as per each song section I recorded over  ...I think Midi Guitar 2 tracks very good  .

The links for the backing track and the video of the backing track from the Artist that created it are in my soundcloud description

I Hope you Enjoy ,

Kenny

Very Good Questions .

Let me think about it , maybe some one will chime in , in the mean time ...

Kenny

Hey Don't feel bad .

Two  weeks ago I was recording a guitar part through a mini amp that I have set up on top of my sound card . From where I sit I can't see the little amp because my 17 inch  lap top screen hides my mini rig and my sound card ...

I have to stand over my lap top to set my tone and dial in my gain staging

I had shut the amp off when I decided to get a cup of coffee and take a little break . ...  I had forgotten this relevant factor  due to the enhancing quality's of a little  Green Herbal and I ain't talking Tea .  .

After I had returned from my break all energized ,  I spent about 40 nerve-racking min's trying to figure out what had happened to my killer guitar tone .

Yep, that's about how long it took before I realized I had shut the amp off ?   Hhmmmm,   True Confessions....ain't they something  ? ?

Kenny

Hey Bill I just looked at your new avatar ?

Cool video ,  Your porch looks Magical .

Kenny

That was nice . You sang like an Angel .

I felt like a child comforted and safe  during the first half of the song . Near the end when the strings and other sounds came in I got a glimmer of the awesome power of The Love  that permeates and resonates throughout all of what is good in Creation .

Kenny

Hi Daryl ,

Loved your unique tones , the vocals , the use of space in the mix and the interjection of some choice world rhythms .

Your new song  Remember My Name  happens to be  one of the most interesting sounding songs I've heard anyplace in a real long time .

all the best,

Kenny

Hello everybody ,

Last night  I recorded myself  playing one of my Tele's over this weeks Twanger Central  backing track . Week 210 .

My guitar playing on this song is one continuous take ( no comps or punch ins ) . My performance was my second recording attempt after a quick test run through to set levels and get a rough idea of what kind of chops I had on tap  . 

I had a lot of fun playing over the track and I'm posting this for grins and giggles

As always I hope some one enjoys and gets something out of my geetar playing ...

Here's the B T for anyone who has an interest in playing over the tune .

all the best,

Kenny

Honestly I don't see how your question could   have a simple answer .

MainStage is a Mac only application  . Cakewalk by BandLab is a PC only application .

I have both MainStage 2 on both  of my older Mac's  .  I also have Cakewalk by BandLab on a couple of PC's .

Yes MainStage is amazing . A lot of Bang for the buck .Those sounds combined w 3rd party and what comes w BandLab could really help  go a long way as to creating some choice tones .

The only thing I can tell you is when ever I want to incorporate  MainStage sounds into a Cakewalk  project I will treat my Mac as if it is a hardware synth and or as an external rack mount channel strip.

I usually do it 2 different ways . Both Old School .

#1 , Once I dial up a patch I want to bring over to Cakewalk I simply use MainStage as a combination  . MainStage becomes   my pre amp / midi tone module and I will  run MainStage with my Macs sound card into my PC / Cakewalk project ...

I have an Apogee and a Yamaha Sound Card for my Mac.  I will run either sound card into my P C VIA a Focusrite 2i4 ...to capture my sounds .

MainStage is a performance / synth and sound creation tool and application , I will play my performance in real time VIA my Mac and use my PC to capture my performance . As audio .

This is not very different than what MainStage was designed for since most people that use MainStage on a regular basis end up gigging w it ..( Church P & W , Broadway , Clubs as a scaled down portable rig ...Home Project Studio ...ect ect...)

#2, I have also used MainStage as an external midi synth / work station  / tone module . 

The times I used MainStage  that way  I would  use my Midi out from Cakewalk VIA a midi cable from my 2i4  into  my Mac's midi input  into MainStage  . 

While my Cakewalk project played I would then set up and audition my sounds and patches in MainStage .

Once I was Happy I would record in Cakewalk ( in real time ) the sounds I had dialed up in MainStage ...

I guess I had gotten used to doing things this way because back in the day I used to run hardware stand alone midi  sequencers into hardware synths ...

Honestly , it's not much different doing it that way now and one could get a lot of mileage out  of  using  this type of approach  ...

I have an Ovation just like the one in your avatar ...Say , what guitar did you play on this ?

Your tune sounds pretty good playing wise ..a little to much Reverb IMHO ....other than that small crit  nice .

Kenny

My Constellation  had just gotten that bug from a recent update from only a few days ago ....

Thank you for the newer fixed update . All seems fine now in my Orbit .

Kenny

I use the Blue Cat free plugs a lot . I think they are very good quality and they sound very good . I happen to like them better than most of the pedals I have on my pedal board .

How dare you show Reaper!! Don't you know that this is a Cakewalk forum!!!!! The proper authorities have been notified!

The Studio Bear made me do it ?

I'm pretty much a Cakewalk guy at heart . Most of my music usually gets done VIA Cakewalk .

 When it comes to doing a score for video ,  I think Reapers ability to handle multiple Videos within a project as just another track gives it an edge over Cakewalk ...

Your Honor ! I plead not guilty ...that's my story and I'm sticking to it ...
