Playing with Indiginus' new The Mandolin this morning
I stuck a short mandolin passage (comes in at ~2:12) into this instrumental I've been working up this past week, originally thrown together to try out another new acquisition, Orange Tree Samples' Rickenbacker 12. Lots of Indiginus in this one. The main guitar is Renegade, slide guitar is The Resonator, strummed acoustic is Strum Maker IV, and of course there's the new mandolin. The low power chords are the Rickenbacker. Drums are Superior Drummer 2, so this'll also make a nice testbed for SD3, which I haven't really explored much yet. The working title of the song is "Hyperthesis". That's a word I made up, which means a hypothesis that you've convinced yourself is absolutely true.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Wow! Very slick. Very cool composition.
Nice sound and separation.

Just uploaded a new version, with the mandolin part stretched, brought up in the mix and some EQ added. I'm lovin' this mandolin. Week before last it was Blue Street Blues, which made me want to squeeze a trumpet into every song. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get a mandolin into everything. Maybe a trumpet/mandolin duet?

Hi Dave
Great tune/mix/playing.
I looked at getting this Mandolin a while back - their stuff is pretty reasonably priced - I think you have convinced me.
Cheers

Dig it! Fun to listen to all the textures.
My apologies for a little unasked for feedback. (I'm a bass player)
The bass feels like a keyboard part very precise and in the
right places, but.... A real Ricky, or a fat P Bass laying
down the low end groove..... I'm just sayin :)

Nice sounds. I listen to an amount of bluegrass and the velocities on this mando seemed rather precise and similar. I can hear this great instumental taking off in cut time....maybe thats the bluegrass Im hearing! Nice gtr sounds for sure. Good job

You're right, tagruvto, that's a faked bass played on a keyboard. I don't quantize anything in an attempt to make it at least sound like a human played it, even if not the way a bass player would. BTW, if anyone's curious, that bass part is a heavily processed sampled instrument (Trillian), where I've routed it to a parallel bus that contains distortion (D16 Redoptor) and chorus (Meldaproduction MChorusMB). I like that particular chorus on bass because it's multi-band, allowing me to leave the low frequencies alone. And Redoptor for lots of things, from drums to vocals. Because this song has been serving as a test bed for new instruments, I've also added the new tambourine from SampleHero ( thread in Deals forum). It's called "Brass/Nickel Recording Tambourine" and it's a bargain at ten bucks. I stuck it in over the mandolin part if you want to give it a listen.

Sounds great. I find myself using Indiginus instruments more and more. They're easier (for me) to use and they usually sound right in the mix. It also helps that they're pretty much a bargain.

All soft-synths, huh... Nice! It's got a great groove with some nicely organic parts.
