Back in the day, this was the way you got that down for sure...
Great feel very real real nice mix of it all, done with flavour
the whole track...
Well done...
Ya know, I have been browsing for loops and samples for years. I get them from friends or on different sites, including this one. When I hear something I can possibly use, I just file it, so I never really know where I get any given file. If you ever hear anything you like and can use, lmk and I'll toss it your way.
Listening to this and many other tracks on here by others makes me realize how far I have to go to become anywhere near as good.
Loved and downloaded.

I`v e got to get my head into Kontakt..(I just have the free player for now) but you have some great sounds going on there Scott (really like the string pad backing)...I listen to your music and find myself saying "Hell Yeah",,its always so well done in terms of both performance and production...nice up-front vocal (guessing you put a fairly long pre-delay on that bit of reverb that fits just right)...Franco is always most tasteful on his guitar doing this kind of composition...just fits nice and subtly with everything else...Great job by all...definite fav.....Ed
Yeah, Kontakt is nice. I've only been using it a few weeks, but the VST instruments are more realistic than most. There are tons of instrument packs for it, and you can also use QLEW (Quantum Leap East West) with it. It really uses allot of memory, so if you do get it, make sure you have the memory for it.
Thanks for your kind word of my track. For my vocals I usually use Sonar's 'Boost11' unless it's really strong. Yes, Franco and I work on quite a few projects together, with my solo stuff and with Musicante. He has a nice feel for the music.
Wow!
I'm just an old wrinkly who has a hobby thinking I'm Hawkwind and the Floyd and Aphrodites Child and so on sat in my cans playing but some of you people have some serious ##### going down.
This sounds so pro to me!
This is a very cool pop song Scott. The vocals are great, who is singing? The horns and strings at 3:30 is a nice dynamic change. Drums sound nice. You always seem to have even mixes, everything in it's place.
Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. The vocals were some samples I found on the net somewhere awhile back. Glad you like the orchestration. I have a great passion for orchestral music, having played in a few in my younger days. I love it when bands opt to have an orchestra back them.
Just a short time here .... and happy to discover this track that has not aged (in concept) even if with your knowledge "technical" of today, have brought him even more shine and radiance. The guitar is discrette but effective. It is the voice of whom?
The mood you set right away is perfect with the strings. The build up is great and the song really develops nicely as it goes. What is that effect on her vocals in the middle, sounds like it is used on a guitar track also. Is it a fast tremolo or something along those lines?
Mix is great and the ending is very cool as well. Simple guitar parts like the picking at around 4:05 I just love. Reminds me of the guitar lick in "Get Off of My Cloud" by the Stones that continually plays through the song.
Rock, pop...whatever, it's good, plain and simple!
Cool composition on this one, and I am deciding that only based on the first minute. Pleasing melodic passages to compliment the chords you've used. Seems like virtual instruments, but they are used quite well! I like the dynamic feel of the mix/master here too. I'm guessing that those are real guitars though, they have a nice tone. Who did these vocals? They are pretty potent. Not my usual listening preference, but it has a lot of power to it! Great work!
Now THAT is one hell of an intro. I loved it! So capturing. You had so much control of the track, and with funk that is absolutely important. I love the brass that was used. Is the brass VST, or actual playing? Because they sound very realisitc. If they are VST's, what are they called, my friend? This is one very funky piece of work, no doubt. You couldn't possibly receive my fav faster. So much creativity is involved, which inspires me for my current Funk/Jazz track I'm working on. I encourage you, and who all was involved to do more of this. Incredible live solos with the keys and the guitars. Much respect! Peace!
If you are going to know a heavier rock band, Sabbath was a good choice. I had never seen Orange amps till I saw them in a film clip using them.
The beginning was a bit deceiving, wasn't expecting all that happens after that! What do you have for effects on the rhythm guitar around 1:28. It is interesting for sure. The choir pad was different. :) Drums are clean and punchy and the guitars sound great. Tons of energy just like Sabbath had.
Thanks allot. The drums are my Aleses electronic kit set to the Metal setting. I wish I was able to use my acoustic kit, but it's just not possible where I live. The Alesis also allow for different music styles.
hi Scott. I really liked fine sounding guitars in here. I do not really get the choirs, probably it is a refference to the older rock music you mentioned... Overall a powerful piece with some very good riffs. NIce one! Alex
Many thanks for your comment. As I mentioned, I'm not an authority on metal, but I have heard some earlier stuff that had the choir. I know Gothic Metal uses choirs a good bit.
This is ultra unique here...creative rock track with your gifted play...great groovies and huge technicality with awesome riffing and soloing...man, it's really cool...back in time but innovative too...that choir stg makes it unforgettable...
Thankx for the upload Scott...went to dl immediately with my fav...
Thank you so much, Danke...You're too kind. So glad you like it enough to download it. To me, having people download my stuff is as important as a kind word, but I do love to read those words!
Hi Scott,
Great track.
There is not so much to say about this: very professional, all the elements (guitar, voice, drums) are simply "perfect".
Very well done!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I did not mention explicitly the bass, it is also very good, a bit "understated" but that's exactly what the track needs. So it is perfect as well :-)

very quality loops in here - hopefully lm members will be able to perform guitars and synths (and trumpets!) like this some day as well.
Where these loops are from, if I may ask?
Good funky number with nice guitar lines.

Yeah, this is a combination of VST's and real instruments and the vocals were a few different samples I had in my toolbox that seemed to fit in well.

I agree...Funk is quite tight. The brass is my Kontakt VST and is one of my favorites. Brass can be tough to get right without sounding too midi.
I do have plans to do much more of this style. My page has a few more similar to this if you want to check it out.

To be honest, I can't answer your question on the effects on the guitar. I'm not a guitarist, so don't know.
