Pretty tune John, guitars are lovely. Care to share the signal path for those? Really nice tones.

James and Phil, Thanks for the compliments and the listen. As to the signal path, you are asking for a can of worms, but what I can do is give you my guitar set up path and what I use for editing. Hope you are ready for this:
 
 electric guitar or electric acoustic guitar, I use all Mogami balanced 3 prong cords where possible and Mogami stereo cords where needed, Digitech GNX4 (my own custom settings, cord, Marshall MG 30 DFX amp (adjust settings), emulated out, cord, Prosonus Blue Tube#1 (adjust gain and tube), cord, Vintage Marshall Valve State (1st one made) VS100 H (adjust clean, overdrive and overdrive 2), emulated out, cord, Prosonus Blue Tube #2 (adjust gain and tube), cord, Marshall MG 250 DFX Stereo (adjust settings), emulated out, cord, Yamaha mixer panel (adjust settings), cord out to computer, DAW Cakewalk Sonar-XL or Acid Pro 7 (mostly use Acid Pro 7), Native Instruments Guitar amps AC Combo, Plexi Combo or Twang Combo, Save to wav file, final edit and mastering done in Sony Sound Forge using iZotope 1. Graphic Equalizer, 2. Limiter, 3. Reverb and 4. Compressor (all of these are programmable and I have created several over the years.
 
This is the combination to play all of my guitars. It requires adjusting everything for each song I play. I also route my keyboards through this set up, but everything is set to the clean side. I use a lot of samples, as if you didn't already know that. My biggest sample file libraries are East West, Quantum Leap and Smart Sounds. My synth of choice is NI Vapor, Piano of choice is Bosendorfer 290, Drums of choice are EW Storm Drums, Percussion of choice is EW Percussive Adventures and Cakewalk Kinetic 1 & 2, Orchestra of choice is EWQLO, and Bass of choice is Hardcore Bass 1 & 2. I hope this will be helpful for what your looking for as to a signal path. For me it is very complex but I love it.
 
Thanks again for the listen, glad you enjoyed.
 
Peace be with you, Blessings, John

John, this is brilliant and inspirational.  I must listen again for fun.  The first time through just blew me away.

Very nice music.  I'm such a  newbie on trying to make music to play with my keyboard.  I was wondering if you could help me with one question I'm stuck on since you sound professional in what you've done with music.  I have the studio instruments from Cakewalk but after I put clips of the different instruments and save them on a file in my documents I can't figure out how to download them into my Cakewalk on tracks to hear them all together.  I know I sound ignorent to what you do but your help would be greatly appreciated. 

Bob, Thank you for the nice comments and compliments, much appreciated. Needless to say, your producing some really nice music yourself. Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for listening.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John
