Groovin' with Dolphinstreet

[Robert]

I finally got a few moments to hook up my Toneport for the first time to my MacBook Pro today. I haven't recorded anything for many months...

Here's a little groove I quickly jammed over:

Gets boring to play over the same thing over and over - more than 2 minutes on this and I start to run out of ideas...

Cool as always. But you need to turn the track up a little.

And yes the challenge is to keep idea rolling. Try thinking thematically instead of riffmatically.

Cool Robert!

 

[Robert]

Is my guitar low volume, or the whole track?

I never think it terms of riffs, actually. Still, when the track is one static part like this, it can be hard to find interesting ideas.

I think just your guitar volume is low. Sounds great otherwise.:beer:

 

[Jipes]

Sounds like a modern funkified version of the Meters Great tone Robert :bravo:

 

[SuperSwede]

Nice track Robert!

The guitar could have been louder (and played through a real spankin plexi )

 

[Jimi75]

I find your guitar track flows perfectly into the backing track. Maybe volumes could be adjusted a little, but regarding playing, grooving and sound quality I give you 10 out of 10 points!

 

[Robert]

Thanks! So the guitar tone is good, eh? It's the Toneport with my Strat, using the Super Lead 100 model with the stompbox distortion model added for extra gain. Since I don't have the real thing, I have to simulate!

 

[SuperSwede]

I have to simulate!

But a Marshall would Stimulate

Actually your guitar tone is awesome ! :rockon:

 

[helliott]

Tone and playing are awesome, as noted. Bit of boost on the lead track would help. Too bad that BT doesn't have a middle eight or something to change it up, it's a very cool groove. Your Strat at work here?

 

[Robert]

Thanks Helliot! Yes, it's the Strat with the Marshall Super Lead model in Gearbox. A bit of distortion stompbox modeling added in.

I've got to pay more attention to the individual sections and stay away from the 'most recent' button a bit. It's too easy to miss great threads like this one and all the others posted here.

Sounds great Robert! Thanks for posting :AOK:

 

[Robert]

Thanks! Listening to it again, I think I should redo it! :thwap:

 

[M29]

Sounded great Robert it flows right in there. I hear the git on the left only maybe panning it to the right as well would bring it out enough, it don't need much. In my humble opinion of course

 

[oldguy]

I'd missed this before too........sounds great!
