Joy (Revised)

[GMaq]

Hi,

This is an original tune I recently finished with Ardour 3, hopefully this is the finished product. The drums were done in Hydrogen with a custom bits and pieces kit and the bass is actually a Square Wave synth patch from my old beloved and now regrettably obsolete Turtle Beach Pinnacle ISA Sound card which featured a Kurzweil MA-1 chipset on it. It makes a big fuzzy bass and also has linuxDSP's Autowah plugin running on it. The guitar is a Fender Tele through a Pro-Junior tube amp and the solo utilizes the Calf Vintage Delay. I played and recorded the Tambourine and Bongos and gained a whole new respect for those who play hand percussion...after a few takes my arms were numb! The vocals were done a few years ago, some of the falsettos are a bit wooly so I was hoping to redo them only to discover that my middle-aged larynx doesn't do that any more...: (. The master section has linuxDSP's SR2B, Barry's Satan Maximizer, linuxDSP's PEQ-2A and the Calf Stereo Tools Post fader in that order.

very cool, really powerful, very interesting beats

and the vocals are great, I wonder what you drink to get that sound, wish I had just a little bit of that stuff

Cheerio  ;-)

Thanks Prof,

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, I'll trade you for whatever ever you drink to have so much ambition to finish 2 projects (Tales from 1020, Z-World) in such a short time!

Excellent. Great riff, strong vocals and a real 'live' sound to the drums. Look forward to hearing more.

Thanks for taking the time to have a listen and comment, I hope to complete an entire album this year of stuff that's been laying around for 15 years...time will tell I suppose. Thanks again.

I just played this track in the office (it's a quiet day)
and my colleague just said... "I dunno what that is.... but i like it!"

I said "It's Joy"

he said "Very"

So, I'd take that as a big thumbs up.

(we use few words if we can)

Thanks Gmaq
