That Synthesis A G C Thing (colab with Darren G)

StephenM · August 13, 2021, 01:35:41 PM

3 acoustic guitar stereo tracks... 1 with reverb...the others clean
1 Schecter bass with a touch of dirty on it
1 drum track from the Alesis Nitro kit that I play... doubled...one is flanged the other has a chourus ensemble and phase 72 effects off bandlab
recorded on Zoom recorder with the on board mics except drums and bass were direct input...mixed on bandlab and mastered with LANDR

I suppose this is nice for going sleepy or in an elevator or on a phone wait... don't get me wrong I love stuff like this...it's just so mellow yet busy

MIX EDIT: added the synth parts by Darren Gibbons...cracking job... had to get creative with the mix on this because the DAW was garbling due to my old computer when I loaded up all these tracks... I am soon to get an updated laptop that should solve this but in the meantime I had to guess a lot with the synth mix and then trial and error downloads and listen...
totally different and better with the synths though...thanks a ton Darren

At first I thought," Mother Mayhem" by Night Ranger!
Then it went off in another direction, and mellow instead of rockin' out!
It's good! Perfect again for the this chillin' afternoon.

Very enjoyable laid-back track, Stephen and nice playing; guitars sound beautiful.

I am a sucker for anything acoustic so this fit the bill just right for late night listening

Mellow yet busy. I think that's the best way to describe this track. It's raining outside and this feels like the perfect soundtrack for this moment. Great ideas and playing, but somehow i feel that it might have made even bigger impression if there was more breathing space between the notes - in the playing. Good times regardless!

Sounds great! The synth additions work really well with the guitar parts, especially where they trade lead melodies. Overall mix and balance sounds good to me, nice collab.
