Hello Songs Forum, 
 
It sure has been a while …
Some time back I posted a tune called Midi Guitar Moods .. I have been working on it a little bit in my spare time ….
This version is sort of a here's what I got so far clip  .
 
Midi Guitar Moods V 2.0 
https://soundcloud.com/guitarist-kenny-wilson/midi-guitar-moods-v-2-0  
 
 
This track features a lot of Les Paul, Strat and some 4 string Bass…
I'm not going for chops this time out ….I'm going for melody .
During the opening intro I'm playing keys , from that point on all my synths are triggered by my guitar .
I'm using Rapture a lot on this clip plus an assortment of other  3 rd party synths ..
other than that , this is a ruff mix …my place is not set up for audio yet and I'm surrounded by construction 5 days a week ..
forgive me if I'm not even in the ballpark mix wise …..I'm just trying to get back on the forum
I do hope somebody may enjoy parts of this , 
 
thanks , 
 
Kenny
 
Edits same song link ...the changes I did were some musical sections were shortened , ( to make a better transition )
I felt the song was dragging once all the instruments came in so I did a tempo change for the second half of the tune ...
 

Sounds pretty cool Kenny!  The flutes are very Japanese sounding, especially with the koto (or some kind of harp maybe?) and the melody lines you've chosen (it works well).  The mix does seem a little heavy, considering the material, but that may just be due to the environment you're dealing with at the moment.
 
The whole thing is coming across like a cinematic background for an Asian drama.  If that's what you're going for, then score one for the good guys. :)

Most enjoyable Kenny 
 
Very "Mike Oldfield" in part, if you don't mind me saying so...
 
I've still yet to bother using my MG software.
 
Is it hardware you use?
 
 
cheers

Hi Walt , 
thanks for giving this a listen 
Arrangement and instrument wise , Yes what you hear is what I was going for ….
Sure I agree , the mix has a lot of Rouge Elements. 
AS it stands now my environment is pretty much a corner of my kitchen table , a laptop . All my music gear is still packed away in boxes….I sort of knew I was gonna end up dealing with a lot of disruptive elements due to the construction ….I'm waiting for that to pass so I can figure out how and where I can set my music gear up …
thanks ,

Hello Andy , 
 
I'm real happy you found something in this music enjoyable . 
 
I happen to have an extremely quirky work flow …
I use both hardware and software , and I also use my software environment as external hardware .
 
Example , for midi guitar I use a software called Midi Guitar by Jam Origin (it is only my Mac …)
I used my Mac as a hardware controller triggered by my guitar just to play all my synth parts via midi into SONAR X3 . A good example of what I'm talking about is around the one minute mark of my song . 
All the synths I used up until when the drums came in were sounds that came only from soft synths in SONAR … these were triggered by my guitar Via the Midi guitar plug in my Mac . I sent it over while I was playing it on my guitar in real time with a midi cable
btw non of those sounds came from the Mac just the Midi I played  it is also a two way street , sometimes I may send over a synth I don't have in any of my Windows DAW's as audio via the Mac….
it's crazy bro …..
 
thanks for the listen ,

Say did you happen to catch my little tribute to you in the song ? it happens right after the intro duet ….
one of your tunes gave me the idea to slow down a section of my tune 
 
Kenny

Blimey Kenny! Now that you mention it, I recognise it straight away 
 
How did you do that? What did you use?
 
 

Nice to hear from you again Kenny always a pleasure to listen to your stuff even when you have not quite taken all the kinks out (not that there are any real kinks to worry about).
 
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Andy, 
 
I snuck it in there on you huh ? 
 
I used what you used on your tune that I commented favorably on ….this is why I told you that this part of my song was a tip of my hat to you …
What I did was I took a section of my song where the two guitars were playing a duet over a pad and I slowed that section down ….
There is value in creating soundscapes w that app. I also find that extracting snippets and dropping a few choice moments of them into tunes is pretty cool .
One big thing I like about that app is I can take my own tones that I rolled up on my own from scratch and send them on a journey out into space .
 
nice rapping with you ,
 
Kenny
