Guitar In The Shade mp3 (Prog Rock) Cubasis 3

Here is another track I composed using Cubasis 3 on iPad Air 4 called Guitar In The Shade.
The lead guitar is all done using SampleTank, the varying velocities on this sample creates so many different tones.

[EDIT]
To be remixed, too much clipping at the moment.

Hi. Very nice work

This was great, and I’d definitely go with that Prog label you’ve given this. The solo synth part sounded like mini-moog era Rick Wakeman. Not sure what you are referring to with the guitar. Was it really a guitar played through SampleTank, or was it a keyboard that sounded like a guitar? Sorry if that makes me sound dense, but the lines you played were very nice, and the composition as a whole was cool and held together well.
I’m mainly a bassist, so my one critique would be that a real bass would sound even better on this, and given the rest of the song, that might mean a Rickenbacker. There was also one part about a minute from the end where the track seemed to clip a little, but that might’ve just been my ear.
In any case, very cool work on this.

Thank you John, Rick Wakeman and Kieth Emerson were my most favourite keyboard players since the early 70s.

it was my keyboard playing the Heavy Metal guitar preset in SampleTank, I had to edit the velocities throughout the guitar track because even the slightest change in value changed the sound that ranged from palm mute to screaming distorted sustain, which suited the song well.

I play the guitar but not the bass, I know of guitarists who play bass for recording purposes and the recording engineer can tell straight away they are not bass players, so I will let Cubasis take the blame here lol

Thanks for telling me, it’s not your ear, I have been going through all my past projects and realised they need remixing, I have not been paying proper attention to the mix.
Many thanks :beers:
