Great answers guys, thx !

I can confirm I get a much firmer left hand since I started playing the folk back , impressive after only 10 days of 30 min sessions

I'm not sure I'll get rid of the 12's since the yamaha projects so much with these.

Hi !

I play my beloved vintage yamaha from the 70's a lot, it has that martin vibe that I really dig.

I have a few question for you folk owners, what gauge of strings are you using, I think the ones on my yam are heavy , as I cannot bend them like I do on my electrics

I mainly use them for strumming , so it's not a big issue. Let me know how you choose your strings : brand & gauge.

On a second notes, my hands do not sweat at all neither show any sign of acidity, so my electric strings last a few years (no kiddin I changed the ones on my strat 3 years ago, they still look new)

on the folk , they seem to wear out so quickly ... the tone loose lots of highs in a few weeks or even days, this is problematic , especially for recording.

Have you guys tried the coated folk string or any tech that can make them last longer ? and is this worth it ? I mean it's no real use if at the same cost I can buy 3 sets of Martin for a single pack of hi tech strings.

Thx for your hints !

That strat sounds really heavy , glad you get another one

You're probably mixing me up with someone else as I don't have any vintage synths whatsoever anymore and haven't had any for a long time. The only vintage item in my studio is myself.

ahah LOL , yes sorry I mistook you with another vintage guy , I guess we're all vintage here

Great smooth vibe , well done and a bit of horns fits very well on these tracks

Quote from Mats_Nermark

I have, since long, had the ambition to make a few synth based tunes, much thanks to being inspired by your tracks. But for some reason other tunes seem to get prioritized.

Hearing this collections of tunes makes me want to get to writing those tunes.

Very kind from you Mats , really looking forward your synth tracks , I know you've got some real vintage synths so you'd even get better synth tones than mines ! I suggest writing a few tracks from time to times and select the best ones after a few months , so it's not a big pressure.

And remember most of these tracks already feature part of you as I used the infamous Mats Bass extensively here

You keep impressing and inspiring with you crativeness.

Thank you!

Thx Mats for the kind words ,sadly we're not is short of horrible events to keep us inspired !

Great tone on that Les Paul , very gun's roses . Well done Sol'

Hello, I've some codes for free downloads ( any quality including FLAC & WAV ) so it's time to send me a private message with your email and please consider buying if you like.

Start a conversation above (right upper corner )

Well done Larry, indeed a great one and a clear mix ( not a big fan of the snare tone) , some vocals would sure fit fine on this one, ala Coverdale or Dio

Well done & second you, don't be afraid to express yourself , that's the purpose of artists, asking questions. Well done on the AI art BTW

Great Job Man!

Thx Sol, I knew you'd like the album with Les Paul leads on JCM800 on each track

Quote from BayouTexan

If all of us would remove and stop posting songs on any of the streaming sites, we could demand 50 cents per stream or even more. You are making them billionaires while they make you starve -- and you doing all the work.

Yes sad truth , we're the bees , but only the queen got the honey

Quote from Per

Congratulations waraba ! That's a major milestone.

On the listening out for anomalies Mystère fades out a little quickly, but otherwise everything sounds great!

Thx Per, will check that, I went for a generic Ozone mastering and some batch normalization on reaper , sounds united united and more pro like.

I just made my video game soundtrack album available for streaming & buy, I won't go on Spotify & Apple crap

Here is a protest song following my latest track 'Disaster Man' with some solutions inspired by our french revolution - You're free to imagine the naked king of your choice...

Tone design was around the 90's with some 'The prodigy' inspiration and I also used my 'Oud' rig for some lines, and some Morello inspired KPA rigs of mine.

Lyrics :

Jesters on Ketamine , licking the @ss of the naked king .... the edge of chaos
I had a dream, like Rvd Martin Luther King ... Please bring back the ... hmm hmm

A great track & fantastic lesson , every chord type is here , I'd be happy if I could just learn the intro or the bridge

the channel has a lot of classic jazz guitar , killer for learning

I missed this great one Mats, good spring vibe and I love B3 very much , funky horns backings are a great addition too.

BayouTexan and in addition to what Per greatly explained about his hyper productive workflow, I've detailed mine on my latest single track.

for me it does not go like this each day, but it happens often, creativity strikes in waves. But as Per said, automation, templates,FX chains & so on will ease the idea to mix process a lot. learn by doing , don't be afraid to throw your tracks if you're not satisfied, I keep only 1 in 3 for upload myself, even after 10 years of recording !

here is the 'Oud' rig, enjoy ! it based on the famous Morgan factory one , but has nothing common with it lol

it's super dependent on the exp pedal and meant tu be used with it, so dial your XP pedal in wahPedal > pitch mode

Cautious, loud volume so use the git vol at 5 for a beginning !
