You seem to get a lot of stuff done these days. I wish I could say the same.
Way more distorted axe playing that usual. I was reminded of the Scott Henderson sound. You don't have Steve Smith on drums though but instead you have an bass synth coming straight out of a Gap Band track! I can relate!
As always, we're treated to a nice and interesting mix of styles. I find it funny how the listeners seem to associate very different influences to this. Polyslax mentions David Bowie

I can't hear any relation to him at all

But then again, I hate Bowie.....and rock music in general - but I do not hate your music Chuck. KEEP IT UP!!! (So I don't have to!

)

For the record I posted this track WAY back on Fri Oct 24, 2008 ???

A gentleman named Henrik Bergman recently sent me an email saying he heard Liberated Mind on KVR and wanted to know how I got the guitar sounds out of Omnisphere-yikes!-I certainly didn't mean to be deceitful. Anyway I had completely forgot about the track?-looked it up and saw a couple of posts I hadn't responded to and so here it is again. Sorry?

I got a 25th Anniversary model (Like the one Ray White played with Zappa in the early '80s), but I need to get a new nut put on there. I didn't really notice the drums first time through (too busy listening to that axe), but they seemed to fit quite well on a second listen. Bass was nice too.

Groovin

Thanks Tim:)

25th Anniversary model? COOL!

Hot damn Chuck, that's just sick! I get a real Bowie vibe off most of the track... almost like a fast Fame at times. Seriously, you really have a wonderful sense of rhythm.

All I can say is thanks for reviving this one!

Mathew for president!!!

I can relate to the Bowie Fame vibe for sure-thanks!

Just listened with phones Chuck. I can't wait to hear this on my Mackies tomorrow!
This is truly insane shit Chuck...excellent work.

EDIT: SOAB! This is knockin me out!!!
I love that strat effect chain...and Ableton sounds near pro!

annode...I don't know your name

Perhaps you could PM me? And perhaps in the future we could do some sort of collaboration.

And yes Jeff Beck was a huge influence on me as I was growing up

Blow By Blow blew my shit away-at that time I was moving away from Rock and into Funk/Jazz/R&B and that albumn hit the nail on the head!!!! Thanks!

K-Bee!!!! Hi:)

Dude! You better not stop making music! Once you get settled I'm sure you'll get your groove back-and don't forget to PM me please?

Actually I've been in a rut for a while now:( ...good days and bad days...

Thanks for the reply.

treble was fine, it just lacked low end punch, IMHO....
great guitar licks

Pffft. The closest you'll get from me on that score is 'careful'.

What would you recommend I do to clean up/phatten the low end?

Thanks!

ummm just boost the low end a little, like this....

listen to your original, then come back and listen to this...
you'll see... then again, you may find it too bassy...
its all a matter of taste i guess. hah thats what
equalizers on stereo systems are for!

Interesting- seems like a no brainer? Dah? Are you boosting the entire mix or would you recommend I boost the bass only-unfortunaley the original is lost-the drive fried... but for future reference I'm interested? If that makes sense? And no it does sound beefier...I really have a hard time with low end for some reason-mental block or something?

I would recommend treating things as separately and surgically as you can afford to, Chuck.

The Young Americans album (from which Fame sprung) wasn't a rock album, it was a soul/funk thing. Terrific album.

Was listening to your music, really liked it.

Omnisphere Is Hear!!!
