jbraner Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi, I've got a new song out. It's called "Ifs Ands or Buts" - you can check it out here:https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14360729 This one features the usual suspects, but I have a a real tube amp for the guitars now - although the speaker/cabinet simulation is still software. Otherwise, it's Superior Drums MODO Bass some GG Audio (Blue 3) Hammond Pianoteq Piano some DX7 stuff with Plogue OPS7 and a few misc noises all feedbck 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hey John, Good to see you back. Nice funky groove on this one. 20 hours ago, jbraner said: real tube amp What did you get? 20 hours ago, jbraner said: MODO Bass Which patch, I'm trying to "bond" with EZBass, but the tone here would work on my tune... 20 hours ago, jbraner said: GG Audio (Blue 3) Hammond only crit, I'd bring the B3 a bit more forward, just me. ? t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Nice playing John. MODO bass is really kicking in this mix. Sounds like the real deal. I liked the way you brought the synths in around the 3:00 mark and changed it up with the drums. That must have taken some work to get right. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Nice to hear one from you, John! This one has the right stank in the groove, and I like the unusual and unexpected chord changes. A toe tapper! If we are voting on the bass, just me but I found the tone had a lot of upper end in it, like a proper Jazz bass does, but that upper midrange growly sparkle was also masking some other funky guitar elements at times.. I do like the bass tone soloed but it's more punk than funk. Great tune though, good luck with it! Awesome chops.

I got an amp from Vyse Amps - they're a UK builder - it's hand built, 2 channel, 2 x 6V6 12W - perfect for recording ;) I really like MODO, I use the P Bass a lot - that's what this one is. re: the B3, I purposely kept it "barely there" ;) I just thought it was a good idea ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I always dork around with the drums for a long time ;) I start with MIDI files, but I edit them *a lot* ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comments about the bass - I don't mind if it's "punk", I just like it like that - we're definitely not looking for "authentic" funk ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little side chain compression, can you side chain dynamic eq? We’ve identified a problem, how do we “fix” it? t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbraner Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Tom Deering - I didn't think to look to you when I was looking for an amp. It's a bit of a nightmare right now, with supply issues etc - so I concentrated on UK builders. Between supply problems and Brexit - I just thought it was easier to keep it all in the UK It's a nice amp, and I have a couple of tube preamps I can use through the FX loop - for some variety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
