Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hey, bp, I love the bebop track. Reminds me of Phish's Rift... All things reconsidered especially.

But one thing, there's some kinda baddd buzzz going on. I can hear it up high, and it's driving me nuts. Do you know what that is? It seems to get worse the less guitar stuff is going on... Actually it seems to be on both guitar trax, as it gets worse right when the second guitar comes in. It also pops out at 0:33, and other places, so it's giving away your edits, or maybe it has something to do with limiting?

Again, great track, this is no criticism, merely a minor technical detail. What guitar are you using on the right? sounds quite a lot like my Ibanez LP sounds (when other people are playing!)

And Roy, that's yet another great track. I even feel silly telling you that after all the other great songs you've posted, but it is another really great song.

There is one really huge problem with this song... I hate to point it out... but that's what we're here for, right? Anyway, this really really obviously huge problem with this track, is that... you're just too good!

Expectations are waay high if you just keep putting out good song after good song, man. Listen, take it from me, spend years putting out nothing but crap, then put out these songs, people will be that much more impressed! Or even just put out one crap song, would you? I've searched and I've listened, but I can't find any of your tracks that rank below 'great'...

I'm telling you man, it's failsafe! Now, if only I could get to the second part of my formula...

Yeah, I actually meant to mention that in my original post. My amp had a HORRIBLE buzz going on. Usually it just goes away after awhile. I probably need to get it serviced again.

thanks!

Dear Digidesign,

Please make Roy Howell your official spokes-engineer. He can do more to sell your systems in 6 minutes than all the ad space you can buy in Mix.

That is all.

Thanks very much Rogerio and Telepc...

Roy... I swear I'm gunna confiscate that mandolin sample if I hear it one more time!
No, actually I really like the recurring themes you have. You could easily release a Mark Knopfler / Going Home type CD. Really nice.

One comment though... the bass I'm assuming is a real bass? Doesn't sound like samples. Anyway it seems to waver in and out of tune. Old strings????? I can't imagine it being your playing

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hey Mark...
I promise not to over mando-lize you for a while...


The bass is a clean fretless, dry/no verb, with a very slight chorus on it....there's also a deep cello, which comes in and out in the song. The 'tuning' thing you hear may be either that slight chorus or a slight phase issue.



You Aussies with your good ears kill me...
