All beginings should start right Yeah, John is really good! Check out other tunes; he's MacJammer chakeres. Dion, I know how it is when you can't quit get something right about a song you're working on; I've got a lot of projects that are still sitting around in the larval stage, abandoned after I hit the wall with 'em. I'd be honored to work on one of your tunes sometime, if you'd like me to take drumset duties on it. It won't be soon though, because I'm already overloaded with projects, music and otherwise. Or perhaps you could take one of mine to the finish line; either way, it would be cool to collaborate sometime. Thanks for listening, I always appreciate you stopping by!

Yikers! Who knew music could sound so big? It blows me away what you can do with rhythm, PV and chakeres, your guitar is mind-blowing. I have no idea how you always get the drums to sound so real, David. Mind- boggling I LOVE the cowbell! D/L, faved and big fat 10's all around.

Yikers! Big thanks Lisa! Somehow the cowbell really does it, doesn't it? I'm glad you like my fake drumming, I do try to get it right. I'm quite happy with the way they came out here. Yay a fan! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

great jam This is indeed great soundtrack material. It rocks and evolves and fills the space. It has a theme that stays fresh the whole way through. Great guitar playing and some excellent percussion work. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

Great. Just great. Another guitar player who has better chops than I could ever dream of. Man, I am so jealous. Excellent drums, PV- did I hear some cowbell in there? Solid bass and the synth was just right, not overdone at all. The change at about 2:00 in was seriously cool. This rocks hard! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

Great Mix! Holy Geetar batman! Thats some great playin. Works well with the drums. Cowbell seems to be a bit random, maybe use it in certain parts of the guitar riff. Good ole rock n rooolll Check out my latest song called Dark Throne of the Bunny King

woohooodies! What hot ride! Excellent drumming, super bass, and amazing guitar... and a very well-put-together smokin' piece of music. Tasteful & appropriate use of flanging effects without getting in the way. This definitely has testosterone down to its core... for some reason I see this as a soundtrack for Indy 500 racing. Wow. Definitely pro-grade octane! You guys are a dynamic duo! DLed/Faved! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

woohooodies! Ha! Yup testosterone, whether it's Indy 500 or the giant phallic starship I was picturing; what's sublimation for after all? I'm very glad you like the drums and bass I added; I wanted the most appropriate backing for chak's killer guitar tracks. I always appreciate your detailed comments drakonis, thanks!

ahhhhhh, it all makes sense now.... no wonder you want to change your name to Prometheus..... this rocks, I reckon you & Dr.Chaks should create a virtual band called Prometheus.....is that an idea? CRACKIN'! Check out my latest song called Mania- w/DavisAmerica-The 'Sprout' Remix

ahhhhhh, it all makes sense now.... Hey thanks alfalpha, glad this rocks you. I think chak and I are already a de facto virtual band now! Once we have more tunes under our belts maybe it'll be official. I do hope to work with him again! Thanks for listening and commenting! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

funky for sure This really rock hard. It has a lot of zip! Like the drums how it really stays with everything. Cowbells? Dont' tell mungo:) Like how it gets funky with the precussion right after the cowbells but like the cowbells alot. Liked how it stopped then started there. Lots of lead guitar work here. I hear that bell again :) Like it!!! Thanks for sharing Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

Great Driving Feel Yup, chak's guitar playing was the seed that sprouted this thing. I'm glad you like the drums and driving feel of the piece; perfect for chak's headphones while he's racing cars, I suppose! Thanks for listening and commenting walkingstick!

nice nice driving drums as stated, amazing guitar work. reminds me of something with one of the riff's that i can't place. oh i thought it ended.. crazy break in the middle. what would sound awsome with your playing is to double the guitar like have one answering the solos with more solo type stuff with maybe even a different tuning. and have the guitars sort of talk to eachother panned in different ears.

very very good work here this rocks... I don't see how this could be produced better... everything sounds great... and very creative rythem textures... I have to know, what did you use for drums on this??? Check out my latest song called Good Morning
|
| perceptualvortex said 1269 days ago (June 2nd, 2006) | |

very very good work here Thanks for the kind words, Scott! I used Drums on Demand loops to assemble most of the drums, and there's also some percussion from the zero-g pro pack loop collection. The bass parts are loops, but I don't recall exactly where I got them, and I made the keyboard parts using a software synth.

Faelin Thanks, man, I appreciate that. I admire those drummers as well, and I sure wish I could make tracks that sound like them! In real life I'm a good drummer, but not nearly on par with the real pros like Peart, who is one of my all time favorites. All of my MacJams tunes are drum tracks made on the Mac, almost always out of loops--but I do try for realism in these rock tunes. Chakeres is a really cool guitarist, and I love the energy in his playing on this one.

For you, Perc, it starts off w/ decent votes. And for me, this one started
out my day w/recieving the theme song that I needed to start off my
day at 6:00a, off and running.
Somebody was burnin... I haven't heard John Chakeres before now. Is it
live or memorex??? I guess, he's good no matter what the answer to my
question is. This is pretty wow.
Would you believe that I had worked on a tune that was not unlike this
in it's driving force, but trashed it way gone, because I could never get
the drums to sound as though they were natural, and naturally driving
this tune. It was the most frustrating thing and I was too embarrassed
to ask for help at the time. If i could recoup this tune, I would like to
send it your way to ask if you would make it what it needed to be.
It's an interesting thing, those sorts of things that choose to stump us
in life. This particular type of drive Perc, you have it figured out.
Excellent job at bringing on the power packed drummer, the often
sought after bass, and backing synths to move this tune the way, it's
meant to be moved. Oh, and bty, nice g'tar work John.
Excellent job to the both of you.
