Hi Jack - thanks a lot for listening!

Hi, I've got a new song out. It's called "Second Wind" - you can check it out here: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14254040 It features most of the usual suspects: Superior Drums MODO Bass some Kontakt and a few synth noises Melody is Plasmonic Synth (and Noisy synth) plus real live Strats and Tele also, I got a tube preamp (Effectrode Blackbird) after the guitar parts were recorded - so I reamped them through the real tubes ? all comments welcome ? All my stuff is here http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner. Don't forget - Download CDs (including my newest one "Pull the Other One") and singles are still available at all the normal streaming services. CDBaby won't be selling physical CDs anymore - so just contact me if you want one - or look on Amazon or Apple etc.

Hi noynekker, Thanks a lot for listening and for your kind comments. Yeah, it's a slow burner - until when the drums come in

Hi Jack, Thanks a lot for listening - and for your comments

Hi, I've got a new song out. It's called "Quarantine" - you can check it out here: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14218509 I think it's kind of "soundtrack" music. It features the usual suspects: some synths (incl. a new one - "Plasmonic") some Kontakt stuff MODO Bass Superior Drums and my Stratocasters (I don't think the Tele is on this one) All comments accepted ?

Hi Paul - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments That's quite a different scenario than me sitting in my little "room" putting it together a little bit at a time

Hi Steve - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments!

Thanks for listening David, and for your comments. I don't think I'd like to do "collections" ?

Wow! Thanks a lot for the listens and for the nice comments! Yeah - the piano solo was "manufactured" in the MIDI editor - I couldn't play like that if my life depended on it Wendy works in a funeral home - we like to wave to her when we walk past - to let her know we're still alive and kicking.

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments! jack - these are Soundiron tablas loops (for kontakt). I just got them recently and I really like them. They're quirky Tom - thanks, I really like MODO too - you can do a lot with it

Hi, I've got a new song out - called "Waving to Wendy" You can hear it here: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14190831 It features the usual suspects - but also features some tablas for percussion ? Superior Drums MODO Bass Pianoteq Piano (incl. artificial solo) a few synths and Kontakt and of course some real Strats and a Tele All comments welcome.

It's pretty good when you download the rooms - and i suspect that the additional controls in the 2paid" versions will make it sound even better. They're certainly having some teething problems - but this may just be a hot item once they get their downloading infrastructure fixed. The download speeds are very good (14MB/s on my 100 Mb/s connection) *when it's working* (which doesn't seem to be too often... It seems that the best time for Europeans to download is in the morning/afternoon - while the US is still asleep

OK - you stay safe too! ?

Hi Kurt, Thanks a lot for listening - and for your comments

hi Tom, Thanks for having a listen, and for your comments. I usually start with a couple of grooves - then I modify them. I do all my MIDI work in the DAW rather than Superior, so I don't really use the drop zone.

Hi Lynn, How are you keeping?! Thanks for taking the time to listen - and for your comments. ?

Thanks a lot for listening Douglas - and for your comments!

Hi Barry, Thanks a lot for listening and all your comments! I fixed the tuning problem (with Melodyne) so I'm glad you didn't hear anything else That 1:14 sound is a Mellotron Kontakt instrument (Wavesfactory Newmello collection) It's funny you mention the bass - I struggled with that. I was at a point where a tiny bit more was "too much" and a tiny bit less was "it needs a tiny bit more" and was having trouble finding the right place for it - and this is where I ended up

Hi Tom, Thanks for listening - and for your comments I like to lay off the verb myself

Thanks for listening Wookiee! And now it's a (more) in tune easy tune

Too true!

Hi gary, Thanks for listening. It was the lead guitar @ 0:45 - 0:59. The bends weren't coming back down correctly (they were staying a little sharp). There were a couple of other small things too. The disappointing part is that I didn't pick it up from the beginning ? - oh well, I'll need to be more vigilant wrt tuning!

Gary, I've been made aware of a few tuning issues - and patched them up with Melodyne. If you can be bothered - could you let me know if you hear an improvement? https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14103520 Rgds,

Hi Bjorn, Thanks a lot for listening - and for your comments The part you're talking about takes it into "different" territory - it's definitely not for everybody
