Today in the morning I was busy recording some ideas with my Vintage V100 Lemon Drop guitar. I recorded chords to use them as a backing track like I always do. After that, I recorded the solo part with the same guitar. I finished it by adding drum sounds with the free DrumMic’a plugin and midi files and then I did the mastering. Of course, I also recorded myself while playing the guitar so that I have new material for my YouTube channel. I am pretty lazy when it’s about video editing, I really dislike that part. But I want to do some things for my channel once in a while. It’s especially a great way to keep ideas. The track I recorded today turned out to be pretty groovy, except that I messed the ending of the guitar solo a little bit up. Anyway, I believe the track is still very listenable. You can find the video below. What do you think about this track? Do you like it?
Lovely work dennis. Think you dialed in the reverb/room particularly well. Especially when the drums come in. Very convincing. Great groove with tasteful playing and lots of space
Thank you. This time I used the reverb and room in the master channel and not individually on the instrument tracks as I did in the past. I got the idea because I thought it would make the track sound more consistent because usually, I used different reverb and room settings on each channel. I think having it in the master channel definitely makes it sound more convincing. But I still have reverb in the AmpSim enabled as well because they emulate some reverb stompboxes pretty well in AmpliTube, but I used very low settings.
I am glad you like the groove. Couldn’t sleep and woke up at 4 am, grabbed the guitar and wasn’t sure if I could get productive. But I like the result of it. Maybe it’s not too bad to fall out of the bed 😀 I was just annoyed about the bad ending… messed it up at the end because I slipped off the string and didn’t know how to improvise the ending. But I still like the overall track too.
Yes always better to put the main reverb on the mix bus. The ending was authentic, don’t sweat it!
very listenable, I always like what you do with your guitar(s)…
I often record ideas I found but I am glad if someone else likes it too 🙂 Thank you!
