Great good ole' heavy rock... great groove and riffing Joe... your wonderful trademarks are all in Break at the right point in time keeps it interesting. Good one!

Thanks deadman42 i thought it needed a break in the middle.

Quote from BayouTexan

Again, massive punchy sound, Joe!

Thanks BayouTexan

These are once again great Franjoe30 , your guitar must be made of black hole, the sustain lasts forever!

I’d love to hear a complete album of works from you with a singer. A while back you added some vocals from samples which I thought was a cool avenue to go down too but then you stopped for some reason (maybe it’s just too much work doing all that sample mangling). Either way I hope you’ll find either the courage to do it yourself or a good collaborator because these are just screaming out for vocals!

Thanks Per Haha, i really like that TAF profile it sounds great recorded and feels good under the fingers.

I will be recording actual songs very soon as i'm tying back up with my buddy Ian as we are planning on recording another Liberty Fallen album.

The truth about the vocal loops is that i ran out of loops to use haha, i was looking at Heavyocity's Vocalise plug in which may be an option for adding a vocal element.

Maybe inspired a little by waraba 's latest game music project I decided to do the music for the inevitable crack team

Lol, thats pretty dam sweet

New tune, Transient

I wrote this at lunchtime so thought i'd get it down tonight. For the most part i used the TAF - Diesel VH4 Ch3 profile. It has a bit of an ambient section in the middle.

awesome tracks

Thanks whippinpost91850

Hi there, here's a new track i wrote tonight using some free Heavyocity plugins. The profile is the TAF - Blue Ton Cr 2 profile. It's very ambient sounding

Wow. I'm missing a few of my windows in the house here. Guess you blew them out easily with that tune. How thick is that? Sick as well. Great tune Joe!

Lol, thanks deadman42

Sounds great Per Pretty punky sounding

Sounds fab, great song

Quote from BayouTexan

Excellent Joe! Nice use of a Trem slicer effect on the intro. You've got a tone that rivals 3 Doors Down.

Thanks BayouTexan i do love a bit of tremolo fx

Quote from MuddySludge

Gorgeous Sound Joe, Massive and the orchestra voicing make it unique.

Thanks MuddySludge, that particular profile sounds pretty good recorded. I've been experimenting with the orchestral stuff, it's fun to try and see where i can add it.

Quote from Per

Beautiful Joe! Wonderful track great to hear more from you, been a while. I'm also in the process of decorating and renovating, scary how it snowballs!

Thanks Per . My advice would be get someone else to do it lol, good luck with it

Hi there, it's been a while since i posted a new tune, i've been busy decorating and generally not getting much time to play or even listen to music. Back at it now and i recorded this tonight. I used a Top Jimi Friedman JJ profile in Drop C, I also added some Native instrument and spitfire sounds.

OOooh, shades of early 80s queen in that massive riff. Incredible solo too, I wish I could shred like you. Greatly enjoyable track once again, great stuff and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Per adding the keyboard made it all the more 80’s 😂 thanks for the comments on the solo but if you heard it isolated you might not think it 😂

New tune, Kontact

Hi there, its been a while since i've been on. I wrote this tonight, i downloaded some nice free synths from native instruments that i wanted to try out. The profile i used was the "TAF - Diesel VH 4 Ch 3" which is a killer drive tone

I like that Western whammy action starting at 20 seconds. I expected Clint Eastwood to come out guns drawn. Epic!

Thanks BayouTexan, i was going for "The good, the bad and the ugly" 😂

Quote from Per

Huge sounding again Franjoe30 really love the deep grainy distortion sounds you get. Very artful arrangement too around that solo, moments of Audiosoave and then Mastodon at the end too, some of my favorite big rock tones. Fantastic work!

Thanks Per That particular TAF profile is really good and lower gain that you'd expect.

Quote from deadman42

Kinda gothic vibe... very nice Joe. Guitar sound great as always and a very nice "lava rock type" tempo. Cool thing

Thanks deadman42 , i do really like that TAF profile

Quote from pikman

Sounds fantastic pikman , right up my street, brilliant solo at the end

Sounds great MuddySludge , great vibe and playing. I love it when you get to play with a great drummer

I realized the verse start/end were a chordal palindrome, the reversal made for an interesting tension/release.

Any verb on the vocals is just from the master bus, apart from that I thought I was tracking with the helios 69 (my favorite of the UAD mic preamps) and c-suite on it, but apparently they were turned off, so it's actually just raw from the mic with zero processing at that end or on the channel.

There's some generally light processing on the master - Capitol Chambers for a transparent "cohesion" reverb, then a tape plugin which is really only used for it's handy Vu meter so I can level the output, followed by an EQ where I pushed the treble and cut some mids, and finally BX master-desk that I use because it has a tool that takes all really low frequencies and pans them dead center which helps reduce mush a little and it also has a hopefully not too dreadfully heavy handed compression.

Having said that I realize the vocals do sound compressed, but they also sound that way without the master stuff on so I suspect it's a byproduct of me being so close I was pretty much eating the mic while recording. I was using it off-axis slightly to try and reduce plosives, breaths and sibilance, which lead to an interestingly slightly muffled sound (part of what I recovered with the treble push on the master), I wasn't expecting that level of rejection.

Sounds fab Per , a really great laid back track. Vocals sounded great as is and when everything came in it was just uplifting. Brilliant as always

Hi all, here's a wee tune i wrote tonight. It's using the TAF - Car profile again. Its pretty atmospheric in places. There's also on e of the free Spitfire Labs samples in there too.

Cool track Joe and nice creativity with the new samples! I might download me some...

BTW, I've been working on reference tracks, and trying out different DAW tricks to use on my next mixes. On top of that, I've been working on my KillStrat guitar. It's been in pieces for a couple of weeks while I add all the mods. I only have a stereo jack left to solder in and then screw it back and string it. I want to do my next mixes with it. I'll be sure to post pics next week.

Thanks BayouTexan Looking forward to seeing the guitar

Quote from Per

Awesome stuff Franjoe30 ! Yeah I love the spitfire stuff too, we’ll worth exploring.

Thanks Per The spitfire stuff is great fun

Hi there everyone, it's been a while since I've been on, so much great music has been posted since i was last here.

I wrote this tonight, it also includes some free Spitfire Audio Labs samples which i have fallen in love with. The profile i used is the stock "TAF - Car S 6 BP+" with some minor tweaks
