Hi All

I've been away for a while. I play in a couple of bands now - I am always rehearsing for something or running to a gig so I haven't been able to touch BIAB for about a year. But I finally have some down time with the holidays so I got the 2013 upgrade and laid down some BIAB drums, bass and synth pad tracks for an instrumental idea I have had in my head for while. This is just a scratchpad of the idea. We may try it with the band and maybe record it at some point.

Hope you all like it.


Standing in the Storm


Cheers

your keyboard sounds more like a guitar than most guitars!
I bet your band plays at least one song by TOTO... you have their sound nailed.

Loved the camera angle so I could watch (and envy) your technique. I was about 60% that good in my prime, and that prime was about 15 years ago so now it's a WHOLE different story.

The presence of the 8 pads on your top keyboard makes me think that is a controller and you were playing a sample from somewhere other than an internal patch. What was that authentic guitar sound???

Hi All

Thanks for the kind words.

You are correct - the top keyboard is an m-audio axiom midi controller. The electric guitar sound is coming from my laptop. It is RealLPC 3.0 from MusicLab running thru Guitar Rig 5 as the amp effect.

Jeff, your guitar playing sounds just like the real thing, wow. I'll have to take up knitting or something if keyboarders are taking over from guitarists. Nice.

Great sound and great chops man!

Are you keyboardists trying to put us guitarists out of business? That was one of the best guitar emulations that I have ever heard!
