Title: Gary Carciello - Next Step
Post by: Gary Carciello on March 09, 2025, 06:33:54 AM
This song has a slightly strange time signature, but also a straight rhythm. I colored the soundscape using different guitar sounds from the Eleven Rack modeler. I made the drums with Addictive Drums. The solo parts require concentration in places because of the time signature. The bass sounds are from Eleven Rack and I used a drop-d tuning on the bass.

Excellent playing, Kari and the production is first class. I'm counting 4/4 time all the way through yet it sounds like the drummer is counting something else? Whatever, this is a remarkable instrumental and a great listen.

Too cool! Dig the drive and instrumentation tones you're getting as well as the riffs. Also, kudos to the "drummer"! 8)

I thought it was human at first.

It's a cool song with a lot of great sounds and great playing – but it would be less interesting overall if the drums were a straight boom-chuck-boom-chuck rhythm.

Really great jammin' here! I'm getting Chili Peppers if they were prog sorta vibe. I love all the little guitar parts you added in there, keeps things super engaging. Freakin love your style and choice of tones.

Excellent drums! I agree with Keith about the Red Hot Chili Peppers style in sections of the song. I like how you changed up your tone and style choices with the added effects. Nice work Kari!

I'm hearing 4/4.  Still interesting jam.  Nice sounds.
