Really liked the music to this. Would download and listen to this more. The video was also cool but the cut aways were too often in my opinion.

it’s on Spotify/Apple Music! Search my name and “rise”

Quote from DamianGreda

Great music !

The only thing that irritated me was the upper frequency range of the cymbals. Either some PEQ had too much cut band from the bottom or some high frequency range too strongly boosted.

It makes them sound somehow unnatural.

But all the rest is great.

shiny sounding huh! My friend that mixed/mastered is a big 1975 and polyphia fan. I think it’s in line with that kind of mixing approach.

it’s busy I agree! But I don’t mind considering I didn’t have any B-Roll to work with cause of weather that day.

Interesting music Annoying video, IMO Maybe I´m too old .....

Cheers !

hey no worries! To each their own

All kemper tones from lonestargtr

Interesting ? does it do the same thing when you plug in at other locations? I had an apartment with dirty power that caused buzzing. When I moved my new place doesn’t have the buzz

Hey Guy,

This is indeed a well crafted tune that's interestingly arranged and recorded well.

I was really into this prog stuff back when it was new. Yes, I'm really that old.

But then the genre sort of imploded but you make it sound fresh.

Cheers,

Mats N

I appreciate the kind words! I’m proud of this as my first single. The kemper made it possible honestly. I’m on Instagram @guyjamesmusic if you want to connect. Hope you listen again!

Hi Guy,

great sounding track and guitars.

Nice switch between acoustic and electric guitars.

thanks, I love the way nick Johnston and Steve Morse do that.

Great stuff man , loved the licks with acoustic & electric blend.

thanks so much! I like hearing the acoustic blend in songs so this was my attempt. Grateful you listened.

Nice prog stuff, music from another age. I really dig it. Well played, great sounds, great ear catchers in it and most important of all: Well written tune, great song writing.

Thanks for sharing Guy, cool thing

I love that early prof rock era, my favorite is soft machine with Alan Holdsworth!

I hope you dig the tune. These are all lonestargtr (MBritt) patches

Try using a good clean profile and use your own overdrive pedals in the effects loop. That’s my main rig, but I have a back up performance that’s all exclusive profiles.

paults Regardless of the box being checked or not, I always set my patches up to record at -10dB.

I guess what I'm getting at is that using less gain on the interface would give me a more accurate image of the Kemper by leaving the -12 box unchecked.

I also noticed that by leaving it unchecked it's almost identical to the output of the monitor out outputs so that's nice too.

I think you misunderstood what I meant, not sure, sorry for any miscommunication but what I meant is that leaving the -12dB box UN-checked is the optimal route. So we use less gain from our interface and more from Kemper algorithm.

So if the -12dB box in the Output section is checked than you have to run your interface gain a little hotter (for me its at noon) but if the box is un-checked than you can run it lower (for me at nine o'clock).

It would make sense to me that this might provide a little more clarity and authentic Kemper tone vs baking in more of the interfaces preamp tone.

Anyone have any opinions?

I've been happy with going mono (Recorded my EP this way) but I'm interested in trying a wet/dry mix. thus far these are my conclusions and at the end I'll ask my question.

With my Kemper Stage, Clarette Input interface and 2 cables I tried the various configurations and recorded them to A/B the results...

1. Main out DLY/REV wet (xlr in either right or left output), Monitor out Stack (1/4 interment cable in either output)

conclusion - The dry stack signal separated from the effects seems to make this sound bigger than just a mono main signal.

2. Main out Master Mono (xlr in either right or left output), Monitor Out Stack

conclusion - Theres an increase in overall volume which I think is perceived as being "Bigger" but the effects of the Mono Main out and noticeably under the mix so I'd have to boost the wetness of those to balance it out I think. This set up would seem the be closest to having two amps set next to each other in stereo.

so my question....

Am I doing anything wrong here with the cabling? All my post effects are set to 0% on the stereo knob. Should I be running two XLR's from the main out for the DLY/REV setup or should I set the Main out to Master Stereo?

Thanks for your time!

From a different perspective of low production values, this is a repurposed song writer rig from the 2020 pack. Live into an old Roland keyboard amp.
