Ladder Logic 🇨🇦<p>Been an expensive month. With the new computer I decided I should also upgrade my Reasom Studio software from version 11 to 13. Mainly to take advantage of the native Apple Silicon support. I love their rack concept plus I really like that I can use it as a plug-in inside Logic. When I get more time I really want to sit down and start working with it more as a DAW.<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GearSquad</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AppleSilicon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleSilicon</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ReasonStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReasonStudio</span></a></p>

Eric 🇨🇦<p>In the basement tonight working on a new song. Kind of a retro rockabilly vibe thing. Had the Strymon BigSky still hooked up from the previous tune, so instead of getting out the delay pedal, I searched for a video to see if you can configure delay on the BigSky. Found some useful info. I tweaked a factory preset and saved a great slapback delay setting. Put down a test track and it sounds pretty good. Here’s the video I found about configuring delay on the BigSky. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>recording</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gearsquad</span></a> <a href="https://youtu.be/bxgj3dquRZY?si=HZ2m3goLvOxAwPbQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/bxgj3dquRZY?si=HZ2m3g</span><span class="invisible">oLvOxAwPbQ</span></a></p>
S★m V★rm★<p>Wrap up: I feel comfortable to move forward and tackle anything I need with now, but it took 15-20hrs of a learning curve. But it's exciting to know that I'll be able to so some mind-bending stuff on the fly live, without a bunch of external aux switches etc, as well as customize the rig for any genre or celebrity that we may end up working with! 👀 (9/9)</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EffectPedals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EffectPedals</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GuitarEffects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuitarEffects</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gearsquad</span></a></p>
Reinder Dijkhuis Does Art<p>Trying to recreate the tail end of a sound that was on the ending of a The Hooded Crow song (this one: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVoHpwNOQ5g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=KVoHpwNOQ5</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a> ) using the original effects pedal (an Ibanez UE 303B) and reverb unit (an Alesis Microverb III) but something is missing and I can't get that exact resonance peak. As far as I remember, no amp was involved and the MV III's output went straight into a 4-track. But something is missing. Something that I got right only once, when I recorded the sound.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gearsquad</span></a></p>

Eric 🇨🇦<p>Messing around in the basement tonight with the hollow body Gretsch 5422. Had the guitar for a few months now, but haven’t really given it a good long session. Putting down some ideas for a new song. It’s wild how a certain instrument can subconsciously inspire a certain genre of music because of its historical common or typical use. In this case rockabilly or early rock n’ roll. The Gretsch has that twang thing going on; that bite like a Telecaster. FilterTron pickups are interesting. Traits of both Danelectro lipstick pickups and Telecaster single coils, but with a bit more midrange and less hum. Not as warm as a full blown humbucker though. Running it through a Keeley compressor pedal. <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gearsquad</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>recording</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>songwriting</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a></p>

Ok #GearSquad I don’t know how to play the bass but I want to learn. Anybody have tips, ideas on what would type would be beneficial for supporting highly melodic material? Are there pickups that sound more suited for clean toned cinematic instrumental? Supporting acoustic guitar? Leading a song under vocals only? Time to learn :blobcatcoffee: are there pickup configs I should be aware of? Thanks friends :blobwizard:

Guitar used throughout the song was Danelectro 59 on panned hard left picking and hard right strumming tracks. P-bass, drums, main vocal and 2-track stereo keyboards up the middle. Two separate takes of backing chorus vocal tracks were panned hard left and right. I programmed the drum track, which is the free MT Power Drum Kit plug-in. Guitar effect pedals used throughout on the Dano 59 were Keeley compressor and Strymon BigSky on a Magneto preset. Vocal mic was Apex 550 FET large diaphragm condenser. Keyboard was a cheap ancient $50 used Yamaha PSR172. Interface is Scarlett 4i4. DAW is a 2017 free version of Tracktion Waveform. Computer is an old $100 ex-gov’t HP pentium machine with 16gb of ram.

After a couple weeks of evenings down in the basement, finally got my new tune finished. Messed around with the mastering presets tonight and got a decent one which I tweaked a bit. Glad it’s done. Every friggin track has manually set volume automation, and lots of it on the main vocal track. And the comping looks like a freaky jigsaw puzzle. Basement is a mess. Cables and stuff everywhere. youtu.be/boT7Ow2gyrA?si=u2rRja

Guitar Names

Never was much for naming them after women, despite the obvious shape comparisons and I get it - they are important to us and we have a kind of relationship based on love

I see them more like mythical swords or industrial, steam-punk, lightning machines than paint-brushes!
