Cry of the Behemoth

Hi all:

I recently purchased a Boss Gt-10 and figured I would do a recording with this new unit. While it works like an external audio card, I recorded this one running directly into my M-Audio Fast Track Pro. It is an amazingly quiet unit. I certainly have many hours to go in working on patches. This tune has a guitar backing track, a violin bass line and 3 separate violin solo lines. The remaining tracks are session drummer and Dimension LE synth background.

I haven't had much time to play lately, and I must have had too much fun in my earlier years, because I felt like I was re-learning things again. This became especially apparent when I realized that my Axiom 61 somehow was not registering with Sonar so I had to re-program all the functions again.

Thanks for listening.

Oh cool. Sounds lovely on headphones, must check this later on monitors when the neighbours are off to work. I LOVE violin sounds. Excellent contrast with deep soundscape, and good tune too. Not entirely sure about the guitar sounds though, it's a bit too smooth, I find that pretty common with the GT-series, guess that's a COSM thing. Is the GT-10 fully 24/96? (the GT-8 not, AFAIK)

Herman Melville would be proud. I can hear the whale song and think you will enjoy your new toy.

Thanks all for the comments. Much appreciated

Roflcopter: The GT-10 is a 24 bit unit. I am really impressed so far coming from Digitech. The user interface is very simple.

rhynosynth: Thanks for the pointers. I definately agree as the solo tones are a tad thin. I am running the violin through the GT-10 as well my Guitar on the arpegiated sections. The only synth sounds are the background water noise, session drummer and a very quiet bass line. The louder bass line is actually my 7 string violin that goes down into the bass and cello range. It is the instrument pictured on my soundclick page.

Nikolas,

Even after my second post. I thought you were playing these lines with a treated violin sample on a keyboard which would still be fantastic. When I went to your site I really didn't scroll down I just clicked the song. (I get straight to the song most of the time) Playing them on violins and even a seven string violin is another animal. That is fantastic. I am truly humbled.

Thanks Chez and Janet.

Much appreciated. Anyone notice the timing off on this piece? I think I need to start using the metranome (sp?..lazy). Lately when I re-listen to some of my recordings I find myself realizing that I have a really bad case of white man's disease.

I really enjoyed. Quite a musical ride.
