New track happened this afternoon

I fooled a bit around with my new Amplitube-guitar amp simulation.

"Timeshift"

No big production, but maybe somebody is in the mood to

listen and interested how that thing sounds

Thanks for checking man

Oh well, I was just "high" from the Amplitube plugin

I just recorded what I have played in a few loops

and did step into 'sound'

Ich werde morgen hören. Ich habe keine SPEAKER jetzt....

Nice track.... - very mellow feel.... - good "morning music".

I'm curious how you recorded the guitar.. - was it dry into the board then effected with the Amplitude? No amp or D.I. box?

I assume the wah was a pedal?

Excellent tone.....

great...said a little more ...before...

somewhere else! :yo

Chris!

No speakers???

For that your German is truly amazing!

Drooly!

I did plug in my guitar cable directly into my ProTools Audio Interface jack.

There was no wah-pedal used.

All guitar sounds were created by software incl. Auto-Wah! :me

Well, that's amazing, Mike...........

Now - another question....:

Do you see a day in the future when a giggiing guitarist won't need an amp.....?

I'm thinking that with the proper modelling/effects software and programming, a guitarist could go to a gig with just a guitar, a cable, and a laptop, then run directly from the laptop into the p.a.

Think that might be feasible?

I'd rather carry a laptop than a Marshall stack.... :bcool

(Assumimg the p.a. is of a very high quality..)

It sounds great Miike.(as I said over at that other place)..

soo, are all those plugins are actually in Amplitubes software Bundle?

the delay and auto wah and stuff?

they sound good!!..the delay is lush!

Drooly, I used to run a direct stereo output quite often, right out of my Lexicon stereo output which was the final effect in my chain, I'd use two trustworthy DBs...especially if it was a good system and a reliable soundman...For some types of music running direct guitars (no miced amp) is very groovy, if your using tons of effects and stereo..it's almost essential..

I'd still have my amp on stage but it would serve as little more than a moniter ,,,we were really in to keeping the stage volume down..

this is for BIG systems like Thunder Audio or SFAV..

for small gigs through our own PA or small club PAs i'd mic my amp and play a bit louder...or somtimes run a direct and mic signal..

in medium to large rooms and outdoor venues you are not hearing those guitar amps..your hearing the P.A...those amps are up there looking pretty, but it's the big Ol' EAWs that are putting out sound, the amps are just for stage volume and to give you a nice warm send for the PA or a good lush signal to Mic,..(and for looks..HA HA!!)

but for Jazz or Blues or a small rock band AMPs are still where it's at!

to me, Nothing sounds like my 45 watt Matchless Chiftan...

or my Little Fender tube..

they are gorgeous and lush and alive..but they sound like hell if you turn em up to loud.....I never turn my chieftan past 4..

that's my favorite kind of gig now...just guitar and bass, Maybe a trumpet, playing to the natural volume of the drums..

to a small room

through my goovy little 45 watt amp..

I'm tired of loud music.

OH @#%$!!

i'm think i'm now officially "old".

huh?

droolymutt

hahaha.........

I hear you, PANick....

My favourite gigging volume has always been mixed around the natural volume of an acoustic drum kit.....- in a small room....

WOW! A very exciting track in a lazy Friday afternoon manner. Great sound!! It's got your distinctive guitar style on it. I like the keyboard loop too. Great stuff Mike! I love the way it just happened!!! :banana

MIKE BURN

PANick, Drooly

It was already 1989 when I used a Tom Scholz Rockman live, just plugged into the mixer directly.

However, over the time I came to the conclusion that some sweating speakers, driven by roaring tubes, cannot be substituted live on stage.

That's simply a total different feel and VOLUME of course!

I like it when the stage is shaking!!! HAHAHA

Shandi, Chris!

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to this little instrumental excourse

BTW.... Kate Cassidy arrived yesterday and joined my band again for a gig in southern Germany tomorrow.

But before, we will try Kate's vocals on my instrumental in the studio.

We'll see if it works

Mike, where in southern Germany do you have a gig with Kate?

very nice mike. i loved the panning you did with some of those sounds. you've created a beautiful soundscape that puts me in the mind of undersea scenes. also put me in the mind of some of the 70's jean luc ponty albums (enigmatic ocean to be specific). really a great track. i'd love a whold cd of this kind of thing.
