Raise Hell And PTL - ScottB55

Hey, Domenico,

Thanks for your kind words. This one was fun and it lent itself to lots-o-drums, which you know I like! On the bass volume at 4:10, I purposely boosted the level because it was a bass solo. If you notice, I did the same with the other sections with solos.

Cheers,
Scott

Hey, thanks allot, Orlando. So glad you liked it and took the time to let me know.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it and took the time to comment. Also, thanks for letting me know your opinion on the sound quality. We can't always know how it sounds on your system till you let us know.

Cheers,
Scott

Behnam,

Please don't recognize this as gospel music. I don't want to give you the wrong impression. It is more a musical style, rather than a sacred music form. it is in no way intended as music to worship God!

Wow...How do I answer a question like this?!?

My apologies for this confusion,

Scott

Dear Behnam,

I'm not quite sure how to answer your question, since our worlds are so different. I don't really want to get into our individual theologies, since I'm sure we cannot agree, but I'm sure we both believe in God. In our country, gospel takes on many styles. In this track I wasn't actually trying to present an actual 'gospel' but more of a style of music that is reminiscent in a gospel sound. It's very hard to explain, but the southern Baptist and the African American churches have an up-beat style of gospel music.

If any member can help me out here, please do, since I am lost!

Cheers,
Scott

Thank (I think!)

Cheers,
Scott

Thank! I was hoping I wasn't off-base on the Blues Bros. reference.

I appreciate your ear and comment.

Cheers,
Scott

thanks

LOL...I agree, Ed. I had fun with this one. It lent itself to lot-o-drums, which, by now, you probably know I love! I may even try another of this style in the future.

Thanks allot for your ear and comment.

Cheers,
Scott

Bonjour, Dan, and best wishes to you, as well!

Thanks allot for chiming in with your kind words. Yeah, always loved the Blues Brothers movies. I still have much of the soundtracks in my collection.

Cheers,
Scott

Hey, thanks allot, Evan. That's a good description for it, Prog Gospel! Thanks for the Mike Portnoy reference. Quite high praise. He's one of the greatest. Yeah, the snare could be stronger, but it was already peaking at this level, so didn't want to push it to overdrive.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, Baggadub. Glad you like it.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, Anders. Glad you like it and thank you for your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

Glad I could bring a smile to you. Actually, it's not really my style either. I'm more of a jazz and funk guy, but my training in music is quite genre extensive, that sometimes earlier training just kinda makes it's way into something I'm working on, so I just go for it.

Anyway, appreciate your comment and kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, Danke. You always say such nice things about my tracks. You really humble me.

I thought I'd post something a bit different. You don't usually see a rocking gospel track here.

You ended my evening with a smile!

Cheers,
Scott

So glad you like it and took time to comment. I appreciate you mentioning the mix. Allot of times it will sound very different on others system, so it's good to know the mix is good.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, HU. Yeah, that Blues Brothers thing hit me about half way through, so I just kinda went there with it.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks, SN. I appreciate your listen and comment. I did use some loops with this one, so not all me. To be honest, when I do a track I don't usually have a particular genre in mind. I'll get about half of it done, than it begins to take direction of where it's going. Than when I determine what it's sounding like, I further that direction. This one started sounding like a gospel holy roller type sound, so I said, 'who am I to argue' than took it there! Even when I work with Franco, Ferryterry, I'll hear something he didn't and take it the way I hear it, and it usually works out to both our liking...but I digress.

If fate takes me towards another spaghetti western track, I'll do another...Who knows.

Cheers,
Scott
