This was interesting - Knopfler-esqe riffs plus synths and organs.

That's a combination I really haven't heard before.

Cool!

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

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Cool guitar riffs. I was unsure about the synths but they were very cool as well. Super playing...

Thanks, Scott. I was unsure about the synths too. That's why there are now three versions of the tune

the latest one is here:

Hello Brian
Very good song
Have also experimented a few times with the 511 solo guitar
But I have never been able to get as good results as you did
Did you work with the MultiRiff function ?
Well done
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hi Andi,

Thanks for your comments,

No, I have never investigated "Multi-Riff" and have no clue what to do with it. I just loaded DIR-FSL.STY and let the solo guitar do its thing. I assume the results are due the chord progressions chosen.

Cheers,

Ghostgum

An enjoyable piece. Driven, lots of energy.

Those Dire tracks are so distinctively Dire-ish. They really make it sound like you have Mark Knopfler playing for you.

Nicely mixed.

Hi Ghostgum.

This is such a great listen.

I'm sitting here with my headphones on and really enjoying where you're taking me.

I love the instruments, the mix, the arrangement and the production.

You've done a great job!

All the best,

Thanks, Noel. Coming from someone with your expertise, that in not faint praise. smile

Hello Ghostgum,

Upbeat and tasty!
The tone of the solo guitar is completely different, but the overall sound reminds me of The Ventures.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
