Funk/Spectrasonics/Trilian/Jam/Wrythm Guitar?

[any1particular]

Um...

It's not my fault. My Mother smoked when she was pregnant with me. OK?

This is a sort of jam band thang I did when I first down loaded Spectrasonic's totally awesome Trilian. I was checking out the round robin feature-which is great for funk-able to avoid the dreaded machine gun effect.



Thoughts if any? I appreciate and need criticism (an objective opinion)-please don't hold back-I can take it.

In case anyone's interested: All instruments (minus the drums= Stylus RMX manipulated) were performed in real time with a Stratocaster (with Roland's GK-3 pickup running through GR-20 synth.

It's Alive!

Yes, it's alive!

Love it. Can I have one without guitar solos to jam over?

[hibidy]

I'm going to buy some platforms, bell bottoms, and some of those funky glasses right now!

Yo,

I like it!!! Not too much to tweak, except tighten up on the scratch FX, roll off some of the bass on the "It's Alive" vocal snippet (sounds a little muddy).

And in the bass/bridge breakdown in the middle of the track, add just a little more of the solo guitar strums/hits on top. The bass/bridge solo is missing a little something going by itself there in the middle.

It's awesome. Did you do play/record this all via midi keyboard, or did you use some pre-canned midi files, or special controller?

Always good to hear new stuff from you Chuck!
This reminded me of that early 90s smooth jazz style with a lot of hip-hop influence made popular by Ronnie Jordan and flute player Phillip Bent. Yours is probably a jam more than a real song though, but that fits fine with this particular style of music.
Great guitar chops as always

[alvin18]

Nice and chill. Mix is not perfect, but good listening.
Lets funk

[exquisite_oath]

Not really my cup of tea, but certainly very fun.

[vinpizza]

Ahoy!
Another great stuff from you, Chuck.
although, I miss your guitar.
the panning is good, but maybe you can push it a little forward?
not gonna say much. the tune is great and I need my guitar to start jamming with your music!

It's alive!!!

[Klipspringer]

Seriously good stuff. I gotta sell my Mazda and get a '77 New Yorker!

[tehlord]

I missed this, now it just looks like I listened to yours 'cos you listened to mine.

you're making me look bad!!


I depise your funky talents.

You are a skilled craftsman.



your mixes always sound a bit dirty (apart from your old Sylenth tributes) but it suits the mood.


ultimately, this track cannot be critisized and should be left alone.


I adore it you bastard.

I had similar thoughts

[Dr.Wu]

cool stuff Chuck!

[marmaz]

Hey, cool track!
I would prefer the snare (in the first loop) to be a little more prominent and sharp in the mix though, but I'm listening on small computer speakers so perhaps my perception is a bit fooled by this. The second loop (after "Give me some bass") is brighter and more upfront which makes a better groove with the bass imo. Also, you could consider lowering the level of the bass a tad, at least in the first part where it plays with the first drum loop. Or perhaps some equing could do the trick, taming the low-mids a little. I hope you find my comments useful.

Could you clarify this? I thought that Spectrasonics products are not downloadable.

[hibidy]

Funny, that was my first thought.........

[tehlord]

Perhaps he downloaded Trilian as an update to his previously bought Trilogy.

Moving on.
