Hi. Not sure if it's ok to post this one here since I this time didn't use anything from BIAB. I only used Logic Pro X this time. Drums is SoCal+ and I play all other instruments. Think it turned as a cool instrumental but I can delete the thread if it needs to be done in BIAB.
Used Amps are Boss katana 50 for guitars, and Boss Katana 110 for bass. Guitar is my Wolf with new P90 pickups from UK Irongear and Bass Ibanez. The keyboard is only 3 octaves Korg midi.
And... the time signature is 10/4. Never done a song in that tempo before but I came up with a riff I found cool and after some struggling I found out it was 10/4 or 4/4, 4/4 and 2/4 in a sequence.

Soren, love this! Fantastic playing throughout, but you had me at the wah and delay. Super dynamic arrangement and great mix. Had no idea the short format instrumental was a Spotify thing, but am starting to get it. THANKS for posting!

Soren, fascinating video. I watch Rick's channel when it shows up on my feed but missed this one. Embarrassingly, I subscribe to the print version of the Washington Post but missed the article he highlighted. Must have been watching YouTube...

Ha!

Am starting to see the shape of the beast. THANKS for sharing!

Soren,

Very entertaining! Great production. I really liked that run about 1:07 - 1:13. Nice use of the effects with a great sound.

Take care,

Alan

Hi, Sören.

Cool sound. Short form wins again! smile

BTW, I think you meant to say the "time signature" 10/4, not the "tempo".

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

10/4 over and out. Over the top and out of this world. Very cool how it is all built upon that solid riff. Well done, Sören. I remember the Don Ellis Band had to play a 36/33 or some strange Bohemian signature.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Haha. It wasn't 10/4 trying to be fancy. I just jammed and thought it sounded cool and tried to figure out what is was and BIAB helped a bit. Later I found a good video of songs in 10/4.

Sören, great song!
Excellent guitar chops - gotta love P90s right?
Super groove.
I wish BiaB would do different time signatures correctly so we could bring them into a DAW and add other MIDI and audio.

Yeah, the P90s are nice. Much clearer than the original humbuckers. Often on cheaper guitars it is on the pickups they save money. BIAB could handle 10/4 but did 4/4,4/4,2/4 so it was easier to do everything in Logic this time. Otherwise I prefer the drums from BIAB since the are played of real and very skilled musicians. And thank you!
