Here is a jam on my G&L fallout where I'm testing out the effects from Guitar Rig 9. The first track is a ringmod with a pitch shift that drops it down an octave to give a bitcrushed distortion bass sound. The next track is a heavy reversed delay to add an ambient sound throughout the song. The third track is the main lead that has a bit of rotator chorus and drive with reverb. The final track has a ton of effects to create a huge ambient sound. For drums I tapped in the beat on my Roland handsonic controlling the Superior Drummer Independent SDX. I also added some distortion to the drums to make them fit the guitars better. Later on I also added some subtle electronic drums using the bent kit from EZ Drummer. The overall mood and tone of the song reminds me of a big bumbling idiot floundering his way through life causing havoc to anything that crosses his path lol.

Here is an improvisation on my Wechter Pathfinder acoustic guitar. To start the process I programmed a 140 bpm basic drum track in superior drummer. I put the drums wav file on my phone and listened while I played whatever came to mind while recording with my zoom h6. Next I imported the wav file of the acoustic guitar back into my daw then reformatted the drums to match the guitar parts. This process seems to yield better result rather than just playing to a metronome as the monotonous metronome tone kind of influences my playing. If the drum beat is varied and interesting it forces you to try and play differently to match the percussion better. Once the song was mixed I layered in the video and fractals in after effects. This is also a test of my new black backdrop sheet that allows me to mask out the video better for adding effects.

Here's a #straturday in a minimal darkwave style. I've been neglecting my bass for a while so I decided to bring it out and what better genre to feature bass than darkwave. I also used my spectra drive bass pedal to push the signal a bit more than usual rather than try and push the signal digitally. Pedals usually sound way better than software and it turned out sounding really good on the bass. For the strat parts I used my axe fx 2 for the effects. The red strat has an eighth note delay on it so it will repeat one note 8 times which allows you to play very minimally but get an interesting sound that's a bit more elaborate. The partsocaster has an ambient array of effects on it that let it fade into the background as a wash. I also wanted to bring in some mangled sounding synth for the darkwave feel so I used my Akai mpk 3 and rapture as the synth to bring in a simple note progression in the second half of the song. I close out the song with my Stephen Carpenter ESP LTD as it has a longer scale that's easier for the higher up notes on the neck. I created a crazy effects chain in guitar rig 6 for that synthy sound on the guitar. That's all for now, thanks for listening :-) #straturday #darkwave ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOqrqi1plR0
